The Rakehell Regency #4
The Matchless Miss
Off the shelf, into the fire!
England, 1814
Lovely Sarah Deveril lives quietly with her brother Jonathan in the rolling English countryside, until her life is turned upside down by a handsome yet mysterious stranger who arrives at her door one dark, stormy night.
The blind and wounded former soldier claims HIS name is Jonathan Deveril, propelling Sarah into a bizarre series of events as she tries to help the man she calls "Alexander" discover his true identity.
Taking pity on the desperate, and exceptionally handsome gentleman, Sarah nurses him back to health. Their relationship grows closer, and ever more intimate, until it spills over into the most thrilling passion.
Though wealthy and beautiful, Sarah has never met any man who stirred her heart, but one touch from Alexander is enough to set her on fire. Alexander has never known any woman could be so sensual, and he revels in the rare gift of love, even though he is sure he will lose Sarah once they discover who he really is. He fears his dark shadowy past, who he is, what he might have done during the Napoleonic Wars...
For the more Alexander learns about his true identity, the more certain he is that his very presence in her house is putting Sarah in danger. Yet their affair is like a heady drug, causing him to linger with the passionate woman who has come to mean more to him than life itself.
Soon enough, Alexander's enemies move against him. Alexander and Sarah must face his horrendous past head on if they are ever to get to the bottom of who is trying to kill him and why.
Only Sarah stands between Alexander and certain death in a race against time as his unseen enemies swarm in the shadows. Can Sarah find the truth and save her one true love before it's too late? Or will their love become just another casualty of the long, terrible war?

While w premise of a mysterious visitor connected to the vicar's brother is interesting, the plot of this work is overshadowed by mediocre sex writing. It seems strange for the character's place and station, and then is not particularly well written. If you want historical fiction with a bit of spice, I would suggest Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series.

it was a nice book. the story didnt seem very well written or believable..im not sure which. a vicars sister who jumps into bed with a blind stranger that just shows up one night. it kept my interest enough to finish the book,i had to know what happened to the 2 main characters in the story. the ending did tie up most of the lose ends. i will try another of this series,just to see if i like it better.i hate to quite a series.
