Review: TREACHEROUS TEMPTATIONS
***** 5 Stars
Once again, Victoria Vane has hit the ball out of the park for me. Her latest Georgian gem, TREACHEROUS TEMPTATIONS lays her usual beautiful historical detail over a wonderful story which brings the reader inexorably back into the past. Traveling from Venice to London to the English countryside, the reader embarks on an adventure of lust, true love, and redemption. The evils of the world are overcome, after more than one arduous leap of faith from both young lovers. As Molly fights to keep her life her own, avoiding the nasty political marriage her guardian has in store for her, she discovers that she has the strength to take her destiny into her own hands. True love triumphs in the end, but only after Molly stands up for herself. I truly recommend this book.
Treacherous Temptations by Victoria Vane
A reluctant heiress resigned to her fate… Mary Elizabeth Edwardes has one of the largest fortune’s in England, but has no desire to leave her quiet country existence… and even less to acquire a husband she cannot choose for herself.
A dissolute nobleman bent on retribution… Trapped in a duplicitous existence since scandal destroyed his fortune and family name, Lord Hadley Blanchard has spent the better part of a decade posing as a disaffected exile while spying and seducing in the service of the English Crown.
A dangerous game of seduction, and intrigue… When summoned from abroad by a former lover, Lord Hadley perceives an opportunity for vengeance at last. By employing the full measure of his seductive charm, he woos the ward of the man who destroyed his life, little knowing that winning Mary’s fortune will mean risking his own treacherous heart.
