Y-E-S! (27/27 people found this helpful)
Charlotte "Lottie" Kent had grown up the hard way, with an abusive father and stealing to survive. Now she is the ward of the Marquess of Redmond. She runs a refuge house in London for unfortunate women and children. She only went to balls and parties in hopes of talking the members of the Ton into giving her refuge home donations. Yet one night she interrupted a burglary and found herself actually helping an inept jewel thief known as the Dark Shadow escape.
It did not take Lottie long to figure out the thief was Harrison Payne, Earl of Bryden. She probably would never have done anything with the knowledge if her past had not caught up with her. But alas, it did. Lottie needed a lot of money ... FAST! So she tried to blackmail Harrison for it.
Harrison knew Charlotte would not have stooped to blackmail unless someone was threatening her. He agrees to help her get the money and rid herself of her past permanently. However, they have an enemy who is out to destroy them both!
***** Y-E-S! In previous books titled "The Prisoner" and "The Wedding Escape", readers watched the band of street urchins that Genevieve and Haydon Kent had rescued. In this latest release, shy Charlotte's story is told and (in my own humble opinion) it is even better than the first two!
Karyn Monk has a talent for creating warm and lovable characters and placing them in the worst imaginable situations. What takes place will keep your eyes riveted to the pages until the very end.
I loved every second! Highly recommended reading! *****
