Val has been a thoroughly despicable character when he has popped up in prior books. In his story, you meet the mad creature that his torturous childhood created. Bridget’s evolution is fascinating as well. ( ) Kind of a mixed bag for me. I liked Val and I loved Bridget but I don't really see them together? For me, the romance never came through in their dynamic. I loved the intrigue and I am invested in reading the rest of the series - reading book 1 first may have been helpful lol. I was also surprised this was published in 2016, considering so many outdated and offensive terms used throughout the book. Ultimately, I feel like the writing crumbled under some of the weightier themes - colonialism, sexism, classism, vigilantism, etc. I feel as though Val’s outrageousness was used to mask underwhelming development. Like, for such a serious book it was all very surface-y? Many CWs: child rape (off page and recounted), abduction, threat of rape, murder I was not looking forward to this male lead, but Hoyt did end up making him pretty compelling. 2nd read- I gave this 4 stars the first time around, but I'm bumping it up one after reading it again. Hoyt just did a really good job writing this story to feel engaging. Even knowing what would happen I still enjoyed the journey very much. I feel like I have a good understanding of who these characters are, and they stand out from the vast sea of generic leads. This hero starts out quite unlikable (super vain, power hungry, kind of sociopathic), but bit by bit, just like for the heroine, we gain more insight into how he came to see the world as he does and it becomes easier to empathize with him, then before long I was rooting for each step in his character growth. The heroine comes into her own as well and I sort of feel proud of them, lol. The heroine is strong and capable without being a hothead or anything. I found how their feelings developed believable. It's kind of a dark one, but it's an interesting plot with compelling characters. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:A MAN OF SIN Devastatingly handsome. Vain. Unscrupulous. Valentine Napier, the Duke of Montgomery, is the man London whispers about in boudoirs and back alleys. A notorious rake and blackmailer, Montgomery has returned from exile, intent on seeking revenge on those who have wronged him. But what he finds in his own bedroom may lay waste to all his plans. A WOMAN OF HONOR Born a bastard, housekeeper Bridget Crumb is clever, bold, and fiercely loyal. When her aristocratic mother becomes the target of extortion, Bridget joins the Duke of Montgomery's household to search for the incriminating evidence-and uncovers something far more dangerous. A SECRET THAT THREATENS TO DESTROY THEM BOTH Astonished by the deceptively prim-and surprisingly witty-domestic spy in his chambers, Montgomery is intrigued. And try as she might, Bridget can't resist the slyly charming duke. Now as the two begin their treacherous game of cat and mouse, they soon realize that they both have secrets-and neither may be as nefarious-or as innocent-as they appear . . .
