Search - Beauty Like the Night

I absolutely loved this book!! Such endearing characters... a must read!

Regency romance - Camden Rutledge, Earl of Treyhern, hires Helene de Severs to work with his traumatized child.

Another terrific book from Liz Carlyle who is fast becoming one of my favorite authors.

In Beauty Like the Night, we are introduced to Camden Rutledge, a widowed Earl recently come to title with a little girl who is either unable or unwilling to speak. Enter Helene de Severs, a governess also trained in the treatment of mental disorders. She's also Cam's first love who left the area and broke Cam's heart when they were teens.

The two have combustible chemistry and seesaw back and forth with each other through most of the book. A bit of a mystery regarding the child's inability to speak ties the story together.

There's sensuality interspersed throughout and Carlyle draws Bently, Cam's younger brother, as an equally interesting character who will eventually have his own book.

Sexy and interesting.

Very good book. Makes you want to read the next in the series!

this is what a romantic story should be
