Cold and brooding, Julian Greycourt, the heir to the Windemere dukedom, has always known that his uncle the duke was responsible for his mother’s death. Now he’s determined to exact revenge against his uncle—if he can find the proof. But Julian hides a secret so explosive it will destroy him if it’s ever revealed, and the duke is watching. The last thing he needs is a distractingly sensual woman whose very presence threatens to destroy his plans.

Not One of the Best
Revisado: 04-11-25
I’ve never been disappointed with an Elizabeth Hoyt novel, but I admit, this was the most laborious to get through, and it never did excite me the way her other works have. I found the MFC, Elspeth, to be fairly charming, but Julian, the MMC, was often times grating. Perhaps it’s because I am not partial to his particular form of bedsport, or maybe because his interactions with Elspeth never felt that steamy to me, that I never felt a real connection between the two leads and the relationship felt forced rather than organic. Also, I’ve always been impressed with Ashford McNab’s narration, but in this novel, she gave our MMC such a nasally and annoying voice, I am certain that it contributes to my dislike for him. Maybe when I read the novel without the narration, I will warm to him more. However, because of her superior writing skills, even a lukewarm Hoyt novel is still a good novel. Unfortunately, I’ve heard this will be her last book in the series (I am certain, prematurely ended) and there are still characters and plot lines that feel like they will be permanently dropped, which leaves the loyal and avid Hoyt reader a bit unsatisfied.

Although beautiful young widow Phoebe, Lady Clare, has never met West Ravenel, she knows one thing for certain: He’s a mean, rotten bully. Back in boarding school, he made her late husband’s life a misery, and she’ll never forgive him for it. But when Phoebe attends a family wedding, she encounters a dashing and impossibly charming stranger who sends a fire-and-ice jolt of attraction through her. And then he introduces himself...as none other than West Ravenel.

Smiled Through the Entire Book
Revisado: 03-14-25
Absolutely loved this book! Made me so nostalgic for my favorite Klepas book, Devil in Winter, as we get some very sweet and steamy, Sebastian and Evie scenes. But Phoebe and West are also an adorable, well written and well developed couple. There is not a whole lot to the plot, but there is so much character building and sweet moments that you just want to live in their world. The love scenes were some of Kleypas’ steamiest yet!! Probably my second favorite of all this books and series.

When The Sandman, also known as Lord Morpheus - the immortal king of dreams, stories and the imagination - is pulled from his realm and imprisoned on Earth by a nefarious cult, he languishes for decades before finally escaping. Once free, he must retrieve the three “tools” that will restore his power and help him to rebuild his dominion, which has deteriorated in his absence.

Sublime and Magical Writing
Revisado: 08-01-20
Neil Gaiman is a master of folklore, mythology and religion. I first read this comic book when I was a teenager and though I miss the rich illustration that accompanied the original material, the audio performances of this richly crafted story truly make it come alive! James McAvoy was the perfect choice for Lord Dream and Kat Dennings is everything I imagined her character, Death would be. I’ve binged through the entire series in two days and plan to go back and listen again.
