Swans Book Review

I love, love, LOVE Bronwen Evans.  I chose one of her books on a whim on +NetGalley , not thinking that I will enjoy her books much, boy was I wrong.  I love all the books I've read of her's so far, and I kind of stalk  +Goodreads  for her upcoming releases all the time. Waking up naked nest to your brother's best friend is not the vision Lady Marisa Hawkstone intended her marriage to start. Maitland Spencer, the Duke of Lyttleton, wanted Marisa as a wife, but he did not anticipate having to marry her out of obligation.  The mysterious enemy strikes again, doing something that no ones understand her reasoning for. What purpose can making Maitland and Marisa marry in the most scandalous of ways help their enemy destroy them?  My guess, I think she was trying to mess up the friendship between Maitland and Marisa's brother, Sebastian. But that's just my guess. Maitland and Marisa's marriage started off with a rocky start, as most rushed marriag...

Sensual heat melts the ice in the new Disgraced Lords novel from USA Today bestselling author Bronwen Evans, as a marriage of convenience leads to delightful pleasure—and mortal danger. Lady Marisa Hawkestone’s nightmare is just beginning when she wakes up naked, with no memory of the night before, lying next to Maitland Spencer, the Duke of Lyttleton—a man so aloof and rational he’s nicknamed “the Cold Duke.” A scandal ensues, in which Marisa’s beloved beau deserts her. As a compromised woman, Marisa agrees to marry Maitland. But on her wedding night, Marisa discovers the one place the duke shows emotion: in the bedroom, where the man positively scorches the sheets. Taught from a young age to take duty seriously, Maitland cannot understand his new wife’s demands on his love and affection. Marisa’s hot-blooded spirit, however, does have its attractions—especially at night. In retrospect, it seems quite silly that he didn’t marry sooner. But being one of the Libertine Scho...

I was so excited to receive this book.  I read the first two books in the series, and I loved them and this book was no different. Being kidnapped and sold to harem is more than the high spirited and independent Lady Portia Flagstaff can take.  She loves excitement and danger but this, this was too much. She has to find a way to escape, but what can she do?  She is only one woman, up against hundreds of guards.  Her only hope is in Grayson Devlin, Viscount Blackwood. A man who despises her reckless ways, but sets her heart on fire. After losing his entire family when he was young, Greyson Devlin, also lost his best friend in the war. He promised his best friend, as he was dying, that he would look after his sister. Having her abducted and sold in to slavery is not exactly a good way of keeping his promise.  Enraged, Greyson sailed off as soon as he learned about her kidnapping and miraculously, he was able to save her. Now in order to protect her re...

If you thought the first book in this series, A Kiss of lies, was hot, this book makes that one seem tame compared to this one.  Whoa, I had to fan myself to cool myself off after experiencing the heat that were coming out of the pages.  There is just something about a man name Sebastian (well to me anyway). Beatrice Hennessey is on a mission.  A mission of great importance to not only save herself but also her family. She intends to blackmail the man that murdered her brother into marriage. Yes, you heard me correctly. Not only is he incredible rich, he is also the only one who she has a hold over that will accept to marry her, a spinster. Whilst waiting for him to emerge from his ship, and altercation had her taking an unexpected dip into the Thames only to be rescued by none other than Sebastian Hawkestone, Lord Coldhurst, her brother's killer. After getting a pardon for winning a duel which resulted in the unfortunate death of a man, Sebastian Hawkestone is b...

This was one raw book.  It was awesomely good and raw.  You might hear me mention that this book is raw later on but when you read it, you'll see what I mean.

An escape arises when  she sees a post for the position for a governess and what makes this even sweeter is that her employer is a recluse. With a plan in her head, Sarah disguises herself to look the part of a governess but try as she might, see could not hide her beauty.  This did not go unnoticed by her new employer Christian Trent, the Earl of Markham.  Sarah knew the Earl when she was younger and to young to attend balls and had a huge infatuation with him.  He was the most beautiful man she have ever seen but his face is now disfigured by one of the most painful ways possible, by fire. Christian Trent has to go back to England to clear his name of a crime he di...
