Silver Splendor

by Barbara Dawson Smith

Elizabeth Hastings seethed with fury. Lord Nicholas Ware had the effrontery to call her wanton...then try to seduce her himself! No man, no matter how handsome and powerful, should dare such an outrage. Yet no man had ever touched her as profoundly as did he.

Nicholas struggled to maintain control. His title and position put him far above Elizabeth, the maverick American beauty who spurned convention and defied his authority. But he clung to the delicious, forbidden rapture of her kiss and, claiming her as his own, he vowed to unlock the secret of her mysterious heritage...and save her from the elusive evil that threatened her life.

It was okay. Not the author's best work.

[Alicia · Rating 2 out of 5]

2.5 stars. Great cover. Felt kinda soapy. Charming at times but overall meh on the romance.

I love this book so much

[Eyvie Wynter · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is worth reading. It had very nice romantic moments. The story line was good. Characters could have been developed more in depth. But maybe that was on purpose so you would easily guess criminal. But still.... I felt it to prolonged towards the mid to end. Again because the reader is lost since unfamiliar with emerging characters.

This is a bit of an upstairs/downstairs story with a mystery as well. I figured out the bad guy as soon as the character was introduced, but it might not be that easy for everyone.
