Another sexy, witty and fun read from Victoria Vane.
Lady Vesta Chambers an 18yr old rather "spoilt" girl who confesses her undying love to Captain Hewett DeVere. Only to find out he doesn't return the sentiments quite as much as she would like. She along with her godfather Lord Ludovic DeVere, Hewett's older brother, cook up a scheme to get them together. And what a scheme!

“Vesta, my feelings regarding you may best be described in two categories---mildly at some times and maddeningly infuriated all the rest”
And that, boys and girls, summed up my feelings about this book. I pretty much found this one silly from beginning to end. I hung on through the juvenile dialog and humor in the story for the tidbits about Diana and DeVere. Other than that, I would have given up on this one long before the end.

Once again Victoria Vane has done an amazing job! I love the Devil DeVere and the predicaments those around him get into. Vesta is an impetuous girl (woman) who is about to have her coming out season. She is now a woman of marriageable age. She sees Hew DeVere and immediately decides he’s the one for her. Hew, on the other hand wants a calm, proper wife. Whatever will Vesta do?

THE VIRGIN HUNTRESS by Victoria Vane is a quick,fun erotic historical romance read. The Devil Devere's (Book #2),but can be read as a stand alone. See, "A Wild Night's Bride".Follow Captain Hewett DeVere and Lady Vesta Chambers on a wonderful Georgian era romp as Lady Vesta decides she must have Captain Hewett for herself, at all costs,even if she has to kidnap him to get her way. With a feisty heroine,who knows what she wants and goes after it,albeit a little spoiled. A hero who is a true gentl...more
THE VIRGIN HUNTRESS by Victoria Vane is surprisingly sweet while extraordinarily naughty. Vesta is a rambunctious, brave, and incorrigible girl far beyond anyone's expectations except perhaps those of her godfather, Viscount Ludovic DeVere. Determined and resolute to gain the attentions of Hew, Vesta takes her schemes further than anyone expects especially Hew. Inevitably, Hew is unable to resist the persistence of such a young virgin and the result is pure magic.

What do you get when you combine one willful and pampered young miss with a commanding and upright older second son and put them on the high seas in a locked cabin? You get The Virgin Huntress—a novella filled with laughs and lust aplenty.
I will admit, I really didn't expect to like Vesta. She is very spoiled and bratty and her thoughts are sometimes unkind... but, despite myself, I do like her. Beneath her haughtiness and sense of entitlement, there is something vulnerab

"The absolute biggest problem I had with this book was the idea that someone can see another person and instantaneously know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are meant to be together, to the point that you are willing to kidnap that person just to get them to pay attention to you. Vesta is very young and comes off as quite spoiled, making it very difficult for me to like her as a character.

With Hew being pretty scarred inside and out, he has his heart set on the simple like, sadly things just don't go the way he plans as Vesta stands in the way.

I received a review copy by Ms. Vane in exchange for my honest review.
Ned's daughter Vesta is a spoiled brat. Used to getting her way as the only child of Sir Edward and the late Lady Annalee, Vesta is absolutely livid when her father comes home from London with a new bride with whom he is barely acquainted with. There were times I wanted to take her over My knee and give her a good paddling, but Vesta definitely learns a few lessons thanks to Captain Hew DeVere.

Great and unexpected (I love surprises) continuation to The Devil DeVere #1. Love the humor, spontaneity, characters and the sensual touch that's just Victoria Vane :)
The antics between Hew and Vic were a hoot! It's refreshing that DeVere shows his absolute true colors to his brother (he does not hide much from anyone) but it's a real relationship that's had between the two.

“I used to watch the stallions leaping the mares."
"You what!" Hew almost choked.
"Well, how else is a girl with no mother supposed to get any education? Although I doubt Mama would have told me very much. So there's really no reason to be timid, Hew. I already know all about the mating process. And to the best of my knowledge, the stallions never 'ignored it until it went away.”
