Lady Dorothea “Daisy” Hamilton is the third co-founder of
an investigation firm called King & Co. She agrees to take on the case of
thwarting an heiress from eloping. However, Daisy’s mission goes horribly awry
when she encounters the wrong carriage. Instead of the runaway pair, she finds
the rogue who broke her heart five years ago. Daisy has no other choice but to
tolerate the man as she continues with her mission. Will Lucien distract Daisy
from her mission? Or will she gain another success for King & Co?
Lucien Vaughan, The Duke of Cranford, decides to help his
nephew elope with his beloved. He never imagined he would encounter Daisy
Hamilton, a woman who is off limits to him, along the way. Lucien is not about
to let the hoyden thwart his nephew’s upcoming nuptials. He uses every tactic
in his arsenal, including seduction, to delay her from finding the lovestruck
pair. When Daisy’s reputation is compromised, Lucien steps forward to do what
is right. Can he convince the headstrong miss to marry him?
Daisy did annoy me near the end of the book. Yeah, I
understand her requisites for marriage, especially after seeing what her mother
endured. However, Daisy knows how cruel the ton can be towards women whose
reputations are tarnished. Yet, she is
still willing to face their wrath. A wise person knows when to concede and when
to fight or make the best of their situation.
Lucien is positively swoon-worthy! I simply adore the man’s
sardonic, hedonistic personality! It made his interactions (and dialogue) with
Daisy entertaining and fun. What I like the most about Lucien is how he is not
put off by Daisy’s blades. It impressed him, especially since she knows how to
wield them. Other men of his station would have been either repulsed or
intimidated by them.
SERIES: Yes,
this book is the third and final book in Kate Bateman’s historical romance
series, HER MAJESTY’S REBELS. It is more enjoyable to read this delightful
series in proper order, starting with SECOND DUKE’S THE CHARM. The first book
reveals the reason why the three ladies decide to set up an investigation firm.
The couples from the prior two books (Tess and Justin and Harry and Ellie) do
make frequent appearances throughout the story.
