About The Book
A chancer and a rogue, Kit Angel is down on his luck. Presenting himself at Rossingley Hall in the dead of night, he begs an audience with the eleventh earl, the most enigmatic nobleman in Regency England.
The visit has purpose. Kit, hungry to ruin the baronet who ruined his sister, believes Rossingley is the only man who can help him.
Lando Duchamps-Avery, Eleventh Earl of Rossingley, doesn’t trust the sinfully handsome stranger one bit. He does not care for the tales he spins, his hot temper, or his thick, ebony curls. And, most definitely, he is not in thrall to the delicious golden hoop dangling from Kit Angel’s left ear. Lando has his own motivations to ruin the same lord, and the two men form an uneasy alliance.
As the dangerous plot they hatch unfurls, the suspicious earl and the shady scoundrel are increasingly thrown together. Whilst the wily earl gradually surrenders to his growing attraction, Kit can’t make up his mind if he wants to swive him, declare undying love for him, or throttle him.
Bit by bit, as mutual desire swells between them, Kit wins over the earl’s body, his passion, and his trust.
But in order to win the earl’s elusive heart? The scoundrel must risk losing everything.
The Review
I am a big fan of the original Rossingley series by Fearne Hill and I have loved the chance to read it in the regency era.
It’s so good to see the estate being so open and welcoming, just as it is in the current day, though a lot more secretive about predilections through necessity.
Lando has been living in grief for several years after the loss of his partner. The arrival of Kit, asking for help for his sister, from the earl who had a relationship with his uncle, comes as quite the shock to the system. I like that things get off to a rocky start, what with their own issues and tension but attraction brings them back together along with the need for revenge on the one who ruined Anne, Kit’s sister.
The two men work very well together, despite their differences on many levels. It’s clear to read the change in Lando since having Kit in his life and I love the plan that unfolds as they aim to teach a lesson to a man who believes himself above others in every way.
A very enjoyable story that moves along at a gentle pace and brings a HEA to all of those deserving. I can’t wait to see who we get next.
Four stars.
The Reviewer
Hello all, my name is Xanthe and I am excited to be a reviewer for the PRG.
I read a lot, every night for at least 4-5 hours and I love to get lost in the world that an author has created. The best ones leave you wanting more and at a loss for words to describe just how good it is but I’ll try my best.
I live in a small town in South West England, just me and my dog Bonnie. I work part time in administration and really enjoy my job and the people I work with which I am very aware is not always the case!
I’ll read pretty much any sub genre within the mm genre. Since discovering it a few years ago, I rarely read anything else. One thing I won’t touch is horror, a definite no no for me!
Never ask me what my favourite anything is as I’ll have to give you a list of about ten or twenty things. How am I able to pick one food, book or film out of so many that I love?!
