I love to read. I am very eclectic in my reading but I especially enjoy erotica and erotic romance. I also like movies, live theater and concerts, hockey, and counted cross-stitch.
DARLING BEAST by Elizabeth Hoyt
| Lily has no where to live as no theater owners will hire her. She moves into, along with her son and maid, the burnt down theater where she was supposed to perform. Viscount Kilbourne is refurbishing the gardens there. He is on the lam after escaping Bedlam where he was placed after being accused and found guilty of murder. Will they be able to get along or will their different stations in life make it impossible? I liked Apollo, the Viscount, likeable. He disability makes him vulnerable, patient, observant, and, eventually, lovable. Lily is quirky, spunky, intelligent, and loveable. They are a good match. I liked watching their interactions as they each have to overcome prejudices and insecurities as well as threats in their lives. Watching them work together to protect and save each other make the story. The secondary characters are interesting. I want to see more of them. This is the seventh book in A MAIDEN LANE SERIES. I did not read the previous six books but I had no trouble following it. This is a standalone novel. Some characters from the previous book showed in this one but only as side characters. They were not a big part of the story. I will be reading more of this series. Very enjoyable! |
