This is a better than average historical romance with plenty of hot sex and likeable characters, but somehow the story seemed trite. The plot was nothing new by any means, and lacked depth, and yet I do recommend this book. I'm not much on historicals, other than Lisa Kleypas, however this one, although not nearly as engaging as a Kleypas novel, was quite entertaining.

This is the first time that I have read this author. I loved the book. I will be reading more from her. I liked that the book looks to be series and you did not need to read the books in order. This book has a lot of twist in it.

This is the second in the Mayhem in Mayfair series, but can be read alone. I actually thought this book was better than the first book, featuring the heroine's sister. I found it refreshing that Carolyn, a widow, had actually had a loving marriage. Usually the hero or heroine has sworn off love because of an awful marriage or relationship. The intrigue was a little annoying however, and I didn't think it really added a lot to the story. Although, I will admit, I was surprised at the identity of the murderer. Nothing too original here, but a good, solid read.
