Lucy Leroux has done it again!! Written another 5 Star suspenseful romance!!!
Miss Amelia Montgomery is an orphaned heiress. Her father worked for his riches, and the haute ton looked down on them. She grew up with up with and married Martin. Now that is widowed her husbands cousin, who is now an Earl of Flint, Gideon suspects her of his death.
Excellent storyline, I loved the attention to details. Amelia is a beautiful and independent young lady. Gideon at first has conflicting emotions for her.
I loved this book, it has suspense, mystery, twists and turns and very hot love scenes. Also, it is witty, I laughed quite a few times with Gideon and Amelia.
I highly recommend this book, it will keep you hooked and not wanting to stop reading. I also enjoy Epilogues.

I have read both Cursed (loved it!) and The Hex (I think I gave it a 3), so I did know what to expect with this book in terms of style and sex content. Though compared to Cursed, I was expecting this to have a whole lot more paranormal from the start. So I was rather disappointed by 50% that there had only been about 3 appearances by the paranormal monster (sorry, I prefer my paranormal regency romances to be predominantly paranormal with a regency setting for flavor and not the other way around). This was first and foremost a Regency Romance, and spent most of the time focusing on social circles and socializing with the ton at the many balls. The paranormal aspect does pick up in the second half of the book. Amelia probably is too damsel in distress for my tastes (not to mention there’s not that much to her personality beyond being sweet and innocent), though she does feel authentic to the time period. Gideon, while gorgeous, and a hunk of a typical book boyfriend, feels rather brutish. He was always grabbing the heroine and man-handling her, and for the abusive background Amelia has, you’d expect her to react negatively to it. I know it’s a bit spoilery, but this does spend quite a bit of time on sexual child abuse (not the act itself, but unwanted touching) -which should be mentioned since it’s a trigger for quite a few people. Also toward the ¾ point it started to feel like the sex scenes were taking over rather than focusing on the plot. I did love the beginning of the book with the hero suspecting the heroine of murder, and the interplay between the two as they became reacquainted with him trying to figure out all of her secrets. I also loved the mystery (though I had a completely different suspect in mind). And I did pick this up for the paranormal (which I personally thought there wasn’t enough of in the first half). And I loved seeing the children from Cursed starring in this, though sad that we sacrificed Martin before the book even got started, as well as the mentions of Isobel and Matteo, the starring characters from Cursed. It’s nice to see the books tying together. I also love how the author really brings to life the Regency setting with all of the lavish balls and mansions, and the clothes, and the gothic spooky atmosphere.
This story focuses on Amelia Montgomery and Gideon Wells, Earl of Flint.
Amelia finds her husband, Martin, dead with blood all over. Martin had been pushed or fell down the stairs of their home. Rather than accepting it as an accident, which it may not have been, everyone blames Amelia.
Gideon, who had worked in the War Office, now returns home to take over his inheritance of a new title and to look into his cousin, Martin’s, death, believing, like everyone else, that he was murdered by Amelia. He wants to make sure she is punished for her crime! But Gideon had been acquainted with Amelia from childhood, and their previous affection for each other was still between them. Gideon feels something else is going on that they are not aware of. Is she truly a Black Widow? Or are both of them in inexplicable danger?
This was different than other books I’ve read in this genre, but I liked it. The mystery gave it the touch of suspense that keeps things interesting. Amelia is strong and intelligent and I enjoyed her as a main character. Can she and Gideon find out what really happened to Martin? Grab your copy and see if you can figure out what is going on!
A regency horror tale with romance.
This historical was not what I expected and it blew me away. This was a regency horror tale with a romance blended in. This book was awesome I could not put it down. Gideon believes Amelia murdered her husband his cousin and means to prove it and see she is punished. He also believes she had help with the murder. Now as he starts to spend more time he begins to believe that there is more. The villain was so unique and made for such an interesting read. This book was so good it is two thumbs up to the author. I highly recommend this tale it is marvelous. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
On the surface, this story seems so much more straightforward than the book before it, but it’s still nothing like I was expecting. It starts, quite simply, in the way of several historical romances I’ve read, with one of the leading characters looking for vengeance against the other leading character. Their lives spin a little out of control from there and we’re taken on the thrilling ride with them. Nothing is quite what it appears to be in either Amelia or Gideon’s lives. The paranormal in this book felt very subtle to me and stayed mostly in the background until quite near the end. The mystery in this story wasn’t as big a surprise to me as in the previous book, but that could simply be because I know about these things. I realize that’s the most wishy-washy statement imaginable, but I can’t think of a better way to say it without giving away all the secrets. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I was pulled into Amelia and Gideon’s world right from the start. I badly wanted to know what it was going to take to solve their situation and I couldn’t read fast enough to find out.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through Booksprout.
