HR-ML's Reviews > The Dangerous Lord

England 1820. Gave this a generous 2 of 5 stars.

Felicity wrote as society columnist "Lord X" & she
used sarcasm and venom. Ian, a viscount, subjected
to few unflattering columns by Lord X, followed
a newspaper courier to the source and discovered
Felicity as the culprit! From his POV, he believed
she misrepresented him in the paper, but he found
her an intelligent beauty.

Felicity thought Ian too secretive. Ian, a former spy for
Wellington, met her 6 yr old triplet brothers & studious
bro. of 12. Felicity assumed b/c Ian was a peer, he never
served in the war effort. Ian had Spanish ancestry on his
mother's side & called Felicity "querida" after he fell for
her.

Despite the rumors, Ian couldn't accurately be called
a rake. MCs used humor & rancor, ignored each other,
& created too much angst. They used sex almost as a
weapon: would/ wouldn't they consummate their
marriage? Ironic b/c they enjoyed the time they
'anticipated' their vows.

The last will of Ian's deceased sire was silly & I doubt it
would've stood up in court. If the hero on the cover had
olive skin or 'midnight eyes,' then the artist needed an
eye exam.

Revised.
