Meet this year's most unlikely love match

The Earl of Rainecourt's rumored murder of his first wife has kept him off the marriage market, even though he was found innocent and his name cleared. He was happy to remain a single rouge too, until he spotted alluring Lady Sophia across a crowded ballroom. There's one slight problem. His father was responsible for murdering Lady Sophia's parents and leaving the girl for dead, her eyesight forever ruined due to the beating. Sophia's brothers warn Rainecourt to stay away from their sister, but he can't stop thinking about her. There has never been a more unlikely -- or forbidden -- love match. Rainecourt boldly rescues Sophia when he discovers her scheming brothers are going to marry her off like a pawn to cover their gambling debts. He marries his unlikely bride and escapes to his family manor. Can they manage to live happily ever after in this dark reminder or their shared past, or will the manor's ghosts end their marriage ... and their lives? Alexandria Hawkins' //Till Dawn with the Devil// is enthralling from page one. Her characters are deep and witty, and the chemistry between Rainecourt and Lady Sophia is electrifying. I love the twists and turns of the story and was left longing for more. I can't wait to pick up the next book in her Lords of Vice series! Reviewed by Jennifer Melville

2nd book A Lords of Vice Series

Lady Sophia is partional blind and her self-centered brothers have 'allowed' her come to London she finds herself in the arms of Gabriel "Reign" Housely, the Earl of Rainecourt the one man who her brothers hate. Sophia falls for Reign and when she needs help - things get interesting... I really enjoyed Gabriel and Sophia character developement and the story had a great plot. At times I was on the edge of the my seat... Looking forward to her next novel After Dark with a Scoundrel: Lords of Vice due out Feb 1, 2011.

Wonderful

The Lords of Vice are back. And this time the focus is on Reign and his dark past. You can read a synopsis from the other reviewers. My opinion is that this story is much better than the first installment. In saving Sophia, Reign saves himself. The reluctant hero saves her and falls in love. Though their pasts are intertwined, it doesn't deter from the budding love. He helps her in to escape an unwanted situation and she helps him work through his past demons. I picked this book up and couldn't go to be til I finished it. I definitely recommend this book. And I am so excited for the next installment. I just wish it was closer than February!!!

loved this book

wasn't sure i was going tho read this book but i gave it a try ans i'm glad i did.

wonderful Regency romance

In 1821 everyone admires yet also fears the notorious Lords of Vice. Perhaps the most frightening of the friends is Lord Gabriel "Reign" Housely, who's deriding of others since his wife died after a spat nine years ago, is beyond polite nasty. When Lady Sophie Northam was a child she suffered an injury that wrecked her eyesight. When she meets Gabriel, she is unable to see him, but can hear his scornful cynical tone. Instead of backing away like most do when Gabriel rips skin, Sophie senses the melancholy he conceals beneath a veneer of derision. Still she also knows her imperfect body makes her an undesirable so she plans to stay away from the aristocrat she is attracted to in order to avoid the hurt she expects she would feel. He refuses to allow her to run as he wants her too. However, their parents' deadly trysts leave both wondering if love is enough to surmount their interrelated heritage. The latest Lords of Vice Regency romance (see All Night with a Rogue and After Dark with a Scoundrel) is a wonderful pairing of a seemingly Romeo and Juliet like star-crossed pair with additional personal issues that make each feels less than worthy of the other. The story line is fast-paced but it is the tango between the female who cannot see yet "sees" into the soul of her beloved and the male who feels guilt over his late wife's death. Harriet Klausner
