Lady Beatrix St. Vincent wants to find a good, solid
husband to escape the drudgery of her current life. However, her father’s
spendthrift ways dashes all of Beatrix’s dreams. That is until Blake Deverill
almost runs her over with his horse. The handsome devil proposes a deal that rekindles
Beatrix’s hopes for the future. All she needs to do is to fool the ton into
believing she and Deverill are engaged. Can Beatrix play the besotted fiancé? Or
will Deverill open her eyes to a new dream?
Blake “Dev” Deverill is the only son of a baron’s estate
manager and housekeeper. The haut ton dubs him ‘Lord Devil’ for his handsomeness
and his ruthlessness in business. There is only one more thing left for Dev to
achieve. And to gain it, he needs Lady Beatrix’s help. However, she makes Dev
reevaluate his well-crafted plans… and the woman in it. Will Deverill realize
that what he wants is not what he truly needs? Or will he recognize it too
late?
I had secretly hoped Beatrix would be paired up with
Deverill in WAGER WITH A SIREN. So glad that it came to fruition. I empathized
with Beatrix’s plight in WWAS. If anyone deserved a happily ever after, she
did. And Deverill… I knew he would be the perfect fit for someone like Beatrix.
They complimented each other perfectly! I also like how Dev realized his
feelings for Beatrix first.
DEVIL TO PAY is the fourth installment in Sofie Darling’s
historical romance series, ALL’S FAIR IN LOVE AND RACING. I have not read the
first two books in the series (yet) but that did not affect my ability to enjoy
and follow the story. The couples from them are only mentioned; they do not
make an appearance. I plan on diving into ODDS ON THE RAKE once I finish my
review books. Since I loved WAGER WITH A SIREN and DEVIL TO PAY, I hope it and
future books live up to their standards.
I have an inkling that the next book will be about
Artemis and a certain war hero. For a time, I wanted her to be paired up with
Jagger (he DEFINITELY needs a book). I am a huge sucker for the
wounded/tortured types. So, that whetted my appetite for the next installment. I
cannot wait!
