| Since the flight of its former patroness, Lady Caroline Pepys has put herself in charge of the ladies' finishing school that has been more of a prison for girls with damaged reputations. She plans to properly educate the girls who've become her friends and help prepare them for the real world. She's also determined to have Lord Rufus Herrington for her own, right after she finds the missing Chandramukhi diamond and uncovers the thief. Rufus has fallen madly in love with Caroline and will do whatever it takes to help her find the diamond. But with his finances in dire straits and many people counting on him for their livelihoods, he may be forced into a marriage for money and a lifetime of misery without Caro. Caro & Rufus work together to solve the mystery of the diamond thief because it's the best way for them to be able to spend time together. When they both face betrothals to others, they must work quickly to find a solution if they stand a chance of being together. I liked the previous two books of this series a bit better than this one, probably because these two had so many near misses, but that added layer of suspense was nice too. There was plenty of steam, great characters and more plot than you'd expect from the typical regency romp. I've thoroughly enjoyed this series thus far. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. |
