If He's Dangerous by Hannah Howell
Historical Romance –June 7th, 2011
4 stars
Fun, whimsical and vastly entertaining. This is a light Regency to relax with on a long summer's day.
In If He's Dangerous, the hero, Sir Argus Wherlocke has been imprisoned and tortured. Argus and his family have special paranormal abilities and someone wants them. They think by torturing Argus that he can give them his gifts. As a last resort, Argus hopes to astral project himself to one of his family members in a desperate bid for rescue. But things go awry as he projects himself naked in front of the daughter of a Duke nearby!
Lorelei is unconventional and at first doesn't believe her eyes. The man before her is gorgeous but she must be hallucinating. But she soon convinces herself that Argus is a real person and needs aid. She quickly sends pleas to his relative for help via the mail. But fearing Argus's relative may not arrive in time to save him, she actively enlists the aid of her cousins. Soon Argus is free but in danger. Lorelei must try to keep him safe and hidden. But the mutual attraction between them is hard to resist. As they try to thwart the attempts of the kidnappers and speed up his recovery, love blooms.
This was a light hearted romp. Both characters are delightfully fun and engaging. I loved the rambunctious household that Argus soon finds himself in. Lorelei has a huge family that includes aunts and cousins and several sisters and brothers. Reading about them and their mischief antics was hilarious. I really liked the conspiring butler and how Lorelei takes charge and protects Argus. But the best part of the book was the seemingly muddled but very sharp Duke, Lorelei's father. Although it appears that the author has given him a love interest at the end, I would love for him to have his own romance! He completely charmed me. He appears bookish and unaware of what is happening around him, he always seem to have the upper hand and never looses his cool. I only wished the paranormal powers had been explored a bit more but otherwise this was a vastly enjoyable read.
This is a wonderful, light romance with a warm and often hilarious family that makes you want to be a part of it.
