Description
Kate Woodbridge has spent most of her life sailing to exotic ports around the globe, acquiring an expertise in botany, along with a few less ladylike skills. So when a deathbed promise to her parents brings her to London to seek reconciliation with her grandfather, the imperious Duke of Cluyne, she feels like a fish out of water. Her outspoken views and fiery temper tend to set off sparks in Society-especially with the rakish Conte of Como.
A devil-may-care rogue, Marco finds the alluring and mysterious Kate a tempting target for his flirtations. But when murder strikes at the duke's country house party he begins to suspect that she's hiding a dark secret. He has his own clandestine reasons for offering to help her prove her innocence . . . And so begins a journey of dangerous deception that leads from England to the glittering ballrooms of Vienna, where Marco and Kate must duel with a deadly villain . . . and their own explosive attraction.

MY THOUGHTS
LOVED IT
This is a delightful regency romance that tells the story of Kate and Marco. Kate is strong willed, intelligent and has a temper, so when she meets up with Marco, a rakishly handsome, mysterious and well, Italian. There is a lot of subplots within the plot and they help to make the story more interesting. This is the third book in the Circle of Sin series and I think you can read this one on its own.
I received this book at no charge in exchange for my honest review.

This book looks really good. I love historical romances set in the regency time period.

Interesting fact about Cara is that she, also, writes as Andrea Pickens. I have loved all the Pickens books that I read.

The video of waltzing in Vienna (on Cara's website) was awesome. Loved all the blue dresses. There was an immediate flavor of "Regency" to the movie -- until the dancers performed maneuvers only ballerinas could pull off.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a really good series.
