A few years ago I magically found Wicked Intentions at my local library while browsing the stacks and discovered a world of action, adventure, romance and some incredible chemistry. From that moment forward, the world of Maiden Lane found a special place in my heart.
Within each book that was to follow I found the elusive Ghost of St. Giles that magically appeared, and a running theme of helping those less fortunate than yourself. This series has everything a loyal reader could ever want and more!
At the beginning of each chapter Elizabeth provides a few paragraphs of a carefully penned story that is vital to the novel and one that will leave you dreaming of fairy tales and far off places.
In anticipation of the release of The Duke of Sin next week I have devoted this week on the blog to highlighting each book in the series so far.
************************************************************************
Thief of Shadows is the fourth installment in the Maiden Lane series by Elizabeth Hoyt.
Another appearance by the infamous Ghost of St. Giles. This time, Isabel Beckinhall has just rescued him from certain death. While injured he’s still able to keep his identify a secret, but for how long?
Winter Makepeace runs the home for orphans insuring those without a home have a safe place to live and make something of their lives. What no one knows is the secret he carries to make sure that everyone is safe in their community. It’s a secret that could change everything and Isabel is one step closer to uncovering the truth.
There are many themes running throughout this book and one in particular regarding Winter that Elizabeth has placed tender detail into. I will not reveal because it adds so much to our hero and the story. I assure you that while I’ve read books that tackle this before, Elizabeth has truly outdone herself.
When the members of society wish for Winter to reform and acclimate himself into society Isabel is nominated to educate him. What happens when the teacher becomes the student? There are choices to be made, trust to be earned and love to be rewarded.
While this book can be enjoyed as a standalone, rejoice dear readers there are TEN to dive into! A spicy 2 1/2 pepper read and has enough heat to make you sizzle and is for mature readers 18+.
