Wicked Intentions

Finally worked my way to book 1 of the series. Started with Darling Beast, which I think is 7 or 8. So far only one, #2, that I didnt like. Fortunately, all are stand alones, but definitely all entertwined, featuring either the patrons of the orphanage, or one of several Ghosts of St Giles. . For some reason, she leads off each chapter with bits of a fairytale which seems unrelated. I find it very distracting and annoying, but stop and read each one in fear Ill miss something that matters. So far, I would have missed nothing by skipping over all of them., but she hooked me, so I continue to stop & start the story while mumbling curses. . One character, Alf, appeas in every book. Cant wait to read his/her story in Novembers Duke of Pleasure. .

No sé porqué tardé tanto en leer este libro, con lo que me gustó esta autora tras leer los dos primeros de la serie Princes. Es difícil encontrar novelas de romance histórico tan intensas y que mezclen dos mundos tan distantes como la opulencia en la que vive la aristocracia del Londres de la época......more
