Customer Reviews

One of Devine's best

After reading the other reviews that were posted for this book, I was hesitant to purchase it. However, I just couldn't resist reading Kyger's story after having read Lujan's, and I was prepared for the worst. I was amazed! This book had me reading from cover to cover in one night. I already knew who the villan was thanks to reviewers who have to spoil the ending, but I was still so surprised when I got to that part that I screamed out loud. I think I enjoyed this book more than any other I have read of Thea Devine's. I love the emotional growing that Kyger goes through in this book and was very happy to see that he gets his happy ending. I agree with other reviewers that this book should not be considered a romance but as an erotic mystery it is top notch. My only question is "What happens to Jancie?"

Erotic romance with a bit of sensation!

Remember the Gilliard Brothers story in "Satisfaction" ? Who would have thought that one of them would become the all important ONE. I didn't want to think that one of them would turn out to be the bad guy. I hope the story continues with the Gilliard Brothers Lucian and Kyger. We need to find out what happens to Jancie so they can have a happy ending which we all want. Can't reveal too much.

fine erotic Victorian romantic suspense

In 1897 London, popular Tony Venable is expected to become the next Prime Minister as he offers sweeping changes that excite the people. Two days later Tony is dead with a fishhook engraved on his chest. In Bullhead Manor, while he was visiting prostitutes, Kyger Galliard thinks of his beloved Jancie, who married his older brother Lujan; everything changes when an American stranger Angilee Rosalyn offers him money if he takes her maidenhead. Her wealthy father is forcing her to wed odious Lord Wroth for his title. She figures the arrogant aristocrat would never marry a deflowered female. He takes her virginity, but is shocked that he did not think of Jancie. Top government official Lord Wyland wants Kyger to find dirt on the assassinated Venable because he fears for its future if people do not move beyond the assassination. The only clue is Bullhead Manor which Tony allegedly frequented. Kyger investigates but hears how Tony was a hero and rumors of a Sacred Seven are somehow involved in his murder. As the danger mounts, the "Bullhead Bull" and the "edible virgin" fall in love, but someone wants Kyger dead and her father has chosen the odious Wroth. Readers will enjoy this erotic amateur sleuth investigation filled with twists and turns although the final spin will disturb some readers. The lead female is a courageous individual risking all to avoid an odious marriage while the puzzled hero is delightfully human as he is unsure what to do for the heroine and how to proceed with the case. Though the final dispatching of the bad guys is too easy considering how deadly they are supposed to be, fans will receive much SATISFACTION from this fine Victorian romantic suspense.
