While out searching Will rescues a virgin name Helen from being auctioned off at a brothel. The story is poorly written their is no character development,the author is good at describing the backdrop and scenery, which you need in a story book not to the point the reader figures out if is just a way to full up the...more
TO SAVE THE DEVIL by Kate Moore is an exciting historical romance set in 1820 London. It is the second in the "Sons of Sin" series but can be read as a stand alone. The first in the series was "To Tempt A Saint". This is a series of three brothers whose mother was an infamous London courtesan. She raised them to be gentlemen, although the youngest was kidnapped three years earlier and believed to be dead. The other two brothers are determined to find him, bring him home and find out who is out t...more

Will and Helen are one of the most evenly matched pairs that I have encountered. Despite their wildly different upbringings, they are both brave, bold, and determined. They are also both loyal to those they love, even Will, who has a severe case of middle child syndrome. He feels inferior to his brother, Xan, the Saint, and his missing brother, Kit, both of whom get more attention from their beautiful mother. The plot is totally absorbing and an intriguing look into another side of London life....more
I loved the first book, To Tempt a Saintand was very taken with Will, the middle brother. This is his story. This middle book is about the middle son of a famous courtesan. I would have given it a higher than a three and a half star rating save for two things: First I didn't warm up to the heroine, who kept secrets until the end, and really lacked the faith in Will I think he earned. Secondly, the resolution was in the last chapter and felt like it deserved more.
Having said that, I look forward...more

I felt for Will, when he found out his brother was a Marquess. I can't imagine how much it would hurt to think that your brother who should be on your side against the world as it calls you a "son of sin" and a bastard is a legitimate heir and a peer besides. Not only that but Xander is knighted. Sure it's not by a very popular prince/king but still.
Helen, er, Marianne, was both brave and foolish. Brave to do what she had to for her mother, but foolish for ignoring Will who had more experience i...more

Looking at this plotline by itself, all signs point to me enjoying it. The set up and the idea of the characters seem like my style. That’s why it’s so disappointing that it didn’t work for me at all. I debated between one and two stars for this book, but finally concluded that I just didn’t care enough about it to get a good hate going on. So two stars it is. :)
This was a relatively short book, filled with blank filler pages between chapters, but it seemed to take forever to read. My biggest pr...more

I enjoyed this second outing in the Sons of Sin series. I highly recommend reading the first one, To Tempt a Saint, first. There are references to characters and incidents that will just confuse you if you're not familiar with the first story. I found Will to be a compelling characters, darker than his brother Xander. Will saves a drugged Helen from a brothel, who escapes from him. He is determined to find his brother and to keep Helen safe; Helen is determined to retrieve something important th...more
I loved the first book in this series and this book is very entertaining too, but I didn't like the heroine of this book as much as I liked the heroine in book 1. Sometimes she's a little too stubborn for my taste. The hero is incredibly intriguing and the ending is fantastic.
I would definitely recommend to a Regency lover because what I didn't like in the heroine may not bother another reader, and it really is a good book.

I’m sorry to say I didn’t care for this newer historical at all. I was genuinely interested in the mystery involving the heroes kidnapped younger brother, Kit, but it overtook this ‘romance’ novel. When I realized that was happening, from just a few pages in, I quickly lost interest. This is not a romance novel at all.
I’ve said this several times before lately and I’ll continue to say it when necessary; these characters were underdeveloped and there was really no backstory on them. I need to kno...more

This was a solid, straight-up romance. Nothing earth-shattering but no real stoppers. I found that I didn't get a good sense of WHY this hero with this particular heroine. They seemed to fall in love more next to one another than with one another. But, I will read another Kate Moore.
This is definitely different than a lot of historicals that I'm used to, because the hero is not a part of the aristocracy. I actually liked that a lot. However, I felt like there could have been more to this book, especially in the beginning. It went by too fast for my taste.
Really god story. The heroine takes the opportunity to be someone else and live a life she only could imagine. Will is a great hero-a spy/solider and he recues his princess in distress, can't wait for the third book.
Rated 4.5 Blue Ribbons

Illogical plot twists and erratic narrative jumps made this book almost unreadable. I wanted to see if Kit made it home so I pushed through to the end, but I won't read the last in the series.
It started out promising and held my interest through half but then it just lost steam. I never did connect with the characters and the one love scene in the book left much to be desired.
Full review will be posted at The Romance Dish next month.

A fast-moving historical with a thin plot and an almost TSTL heroine, but I loved this line: "Take her, Captain. Steal her, if you must."
Simply Amazing! Easy to love H/H that will keep you turning the pages and looking for more when there gone.
In this case, "resists his aid" = TSTL. Can't make myself finish reading it.
