Silver Splendor
Beautiful and rebellious Elizabeth Hastings is livid when the arrogant Lord Nicholas Ware has the nerve to offer to make her his mistress – after he criticizes her free-thinking lifestyle. No man – no matter how aristocratically noble – or devastatingly handsome! – should dare to insult Miss Elizabeth Hastings…and get away with it.
Nicholas is well-aware that his title and position place Miss Hastings well below him…so why does he find it nearly impossible to maintain his customary calm around her? And now, after just one moment of wild abandon, Nicholas knows that she must be his. Somehow he must convince this beautiful maverick that his heart is sincere…
Will Lord Ware be able to unlock the secrets of Elizabeth Hastings’ mysterious heritage, and the danger that threatens her life…and woo her as improperly as any proper English gentleman can…?!

2.5 stars. Great cover. Felt kinda soapy. Charming at times but overall meh on the romance.

This book is worth reading. It had very nice romantic moments. The story line was good. Characters could have been developed more in depth. But maybe that was on purpose so you would easily guess criminal. But still.... I felt it to prolonged towards the mid to end. Again because the reader is lost since unfamiliar with emerging characters.

This is a bit of an upstairs/downstairs story with a mystery as well. I figured out the bad guy as soon as the character was introduced, but it might not be that easy for everyone.
