This Chase's story. This review contains some spoilers; but if you read the back cover, not so much.
Chase's identify is hinted at in the previous books. Surprise! Lady Georgiana is Chase! Again, this is not a spoiler if you read the back cover for this book.
I expected more. Chase is this person who has all this power and the smarts to leverage the information she has. Well, I thought she was supposed to anyway. So, anyway, Georgiana got pregnant at 16 and her daughter was born a bastard. She was dismissed from Society. She decided to get revenge and thus the Fallen Angel was born with the help of 3 other gentleman (who stories you've undoubtedly already read). I liked Chase in the previous books. I was intrigued and wanted to learn more. The Georgiana in this book I thought was weak and allowed Duncan to walk all over her (because love). I wasn't that impressed with Duncan either and thought he ventured into asshole territory at times. And I'm not going to touch the interactions as Anna (Georgiana is supposed to be notorious as a result of the unwed teenage pregnancy and she successfully dresses as Anna for years and NO ONE ever picks up on it??). This book was also frustrating because it was slow. Both Duncan and (as you know) Georgiana have secrets. Big secrets. But, not all is revealed until the end. There are moments, opportunities to share multiple times earlier, but nope.
Frustrating and a let down. The weakest book in this series.
