Volumes 1-3

Four brothers. James the strong and sure. Rafe the irresponsible rake. Oliver the cold and clinical. Then there was William. William the honorable Knight in Shining Armor.

After years of ignoring the whispered rumors about his disreputable family, William has a plan. His dream of becoming a solider will bring respect to the family name, and help England forget decades of mishaps. Everything in his carefully constructed life is going as planned, until he meets Lillian. From the moment she steps from the carriage he knows she belongs to him. But how can their passionate affair lead to a happily ever when she’s already engaged to his cousin?

Please Note: Because of cursing and content, these volumes are recommended for readers eighteen years of age and older.

Very gripping

Like the first book in this series, it caught my attention and I couldn't put it down. This was an usual occurrence for me because the author used 1st person and alternating points of view and those are two things that turn me off to a book. Her characters are rich even though the men are total asses, you still want them to get over themselves and surrender to their emotions. I'm rather disappointed that I can't find books on other brothers and possibly a sister. There are subplots that continue through books and the brothers and I need closure.

this is one of the better selections I have made from NetGalley. This historical romance is obviously not the first in the series however this read well as a standalone. Lilly had a tough father, a creepy abusive husband and a few too many secrets. You can feel the love she has for William and it is heartbreaking what they go through. William's brothers are interesting enough that I want to read more books about them. A sweet story.

I was surprised to find this written in first person especially from the perspective of a male but otherwise, ‘A dangerous deception’ was an entertaining read with lots of angst and brooding characters. Some issues with the flow of the writing but on the whole an interesting story.
I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Liked reading about this family. Easy and fast historical romance.

This review is based on the ARC provided by the author and/or the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

True love

Easy to find but really hard to preserve when the feeling is new and fragile. Wonderful characters and good close. Looking forward to the next book.

Heartbreakingly beautiful. Full of courage, love, forgiveness and what it really means to sacrifice for those you love.

Nope. The writing was a step down from the first book. There would be good chapters and then everyone was bemused and using there instead of their.

My new favorite author

Very easy read, loved the characters, story line very original.
Liked the length of the story also, not too long and not too short.
Nice sex scenes too :)

A good story, but poorly told. Too much introspection and the prose is cumbersome, the words poorly chosen.
