"Alex Stanton just inherited a dukedom, but his true passion is uncovering charlatans and frauds wherever he finds them. Spiritualist and medium Evangeline "Evie" Jones is the biggest fake of all, and he's determined to expose her lies for all of London to see. Her prim manner and ladylike airs don't fool him. He sees the hunger beneath and recognizes a worthy opponent. He can't deny the dark undercurrents of lust between them. Evie worked her way up from the gutter, and she's not about to abandon the life she's built for fear of this aristocratic dilettante. She knows his type. She sees the attraction simmering beneath his animosity, and she knows how to use it to keep him off balance. They strike a bargain. He has one week to prove she's a fake. If he fails, he has to abandon all further attempts. If he succeeds, she'll not only retire but make a public statement explaining all her tricks. Neither expects to find anything in common, not to mention anything to love, in the other. Both are blindsided by the affinity and blossoming tenderness between them. But even if it were possible for a lowly charlatan to live happily ever after with a duke, more is going on than either suspects. Someone else has brought them together for a sinister purpose of his own." --Publisher's description. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

Harcastle Inheritance #2
Love can sneak up on a couple before they know it and seemingly when neither has any reason to fall for the other. And since all Alex, the duke of Harcastle, really wants to do is prove that Miss Evangeline Jones is a fake spiritualist what COULD they have in common? One thing is chemistry and the other is the ability to care for others and then we should not forget that neither had an easy childhood. I wasn’t sure what to expect but did find a very enjoyable story and now wonder how I missed the first book in this series!
What I liked:
* The plot, story and writing
* The real feel of the story
* The interactions between the main characters
* Evangeline: raised to be someone she really did not want to be
* Mags: Evangeline’s friend
* Alex: he grew on me...and finally saw the light
* Ellis: Alex’s cousin who may have gotten more than he bargained on by the end of the book
* Alex’s sister and her husband: I believe their story was told in the first book of the series. I hope they will show up in future books to find out how they are doing
* Reading a new-to-me author that I want to read more books by
What I did not like:
* The Captain: a malicious user with a long game revenge plan
* Being reminded of how difficult it was to make ends meet when one was not wealthy in 1888 England
* Not knowing if one of the characters survived or not
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Definitely
Thank you to NetGalley and Carina Press for the ARC – This is my honest review.
