Readers, so far the historical romance writers are coming out fully loaded and ready with some awesome books this summer. My only real complaint, if you can call it that, is I wish the Epilogue was longer and more in depth. Her use of dialogue makes the story come to life and develops the characters magnificently.

I read this in one sitting and my attention was glued to my IPAD.

Tessa Dare has a way with words and her stories flow fast. They truly had odds to overcome but you as the reader are pulling for them hard.

Talk about serious laugh out loud moments especially with Gabe’s interaction with the animals and the guys interaction with each other (true bro moments). I loved the romance between Penny and Gabe. When he meets Penny he presents as very hard and serious, but he has a soft side that he has kept hidden for fear of vulnerability. But he also takes pleasure in bringing the hated aristocracy to their knees financially. Gabriel has dragged himself from the gutters of London and he has become what we would consider today a real estate mogul. Her love of animals leads her into a rather sexy introduction to our hero Gabriel Duke. Lady Penelope loves animals.specifically wounded and abandoned animals. I cannot say a bad thing about any of her books and this one ranks top too. Tessa Dare has proven once again why she is one of the BEST historical romance writers of all nsistency. Now she’s set her mind and heart on saving him. Soon he’s covered in cat hair, knee-deep in adorable, and bewitched by a shyly pretty spinster who defies his every attempt to resist. How hard can it be to find homes for a few kittens?Įasier said than done, for a cold-blooded bastard who wouldn’t know a loving home from a workhouse. She will part with her precious charges, if he can find them loving homes.ĭone, Gabriel says. When her imposing-and attractive-new neighbor demands she clear out the rescued animals, Penny sets him a challenge. Loyal and passionate, Lady Penelope Campion never met a lost or wounded creature she wouldn’t take into her home and her heart. Wealthy and ruthless, Gabriel Duke clawed his way from the lowliest slums to the pinnacle of high society-and now he wants to get even. To an undaunted wallflower, he's just the beast next door.
