Devilish description Setting: Georgian London, 1763 Sensuality Rating: 7 In this continuation of the Malloren saga, Jo Beverley concocts a spicy recipe with two characters who have sworn never to marry. Diana Westmount, Countess of Arradale, refuses to take a meddling husband and lose control of her fortune, her lands, and her life. Bey Malloren, the Marquess of Rothgar, carries a terrible family secret, one that prevents him from ever producing an heir. Thrown together when the king demands Rothgar escort Diana to court, however, the explosive chemistry between them melts their resolve to remain uninvolved. Unable to resist temptation, Bey and Diana's passion threatens their freedom, their very sanity. Coupled with the intricate machinations of George III's court, Bey and Diana must protect each other from themselves and their burgeoning obsession. The New York Times bestselling author Jo Beverley creates a fascinating tale of vivid historical detail and stunning sensuality. Readers cannot help but feel the lovers' internal struggles between freedom and happiness. A sure-fire hit! --Alison Trinkle |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Slow to Please |
| I usually give a novel three chapters to grab my interest. I'm on chapter 5 and I'm putting it down. There is too much history that doesn't interest me. As an American, European history (especially trivial history) isn't something I crave to read about. I was impatient to get to the people in the book.
I don't feel warmth for her characters and I like feeling compassion for the characters. I can tell that the author is a very educated person as her writing reflects that, but lacks the warm and fuzzy most of us romance readers love. Sometimes I had to stop and read a sentence two or three times to get the meaning as the writing is sometimes a bit vague. Like talking about two women in one part and the next sentence starts out with "she"... now which one is she talking about? In this book Diana is a arrogant woman who's main desire his having power and becoming a female "earl". Not very feminine or soft or warm. I don't like her right from the get go. This is my second novel by Ms. Beverly and I think the last and I will not even finish Devilish. Perhaps I've read too many books by authors who weave more likeable characters... I think I'll go back to them. |
