This is an amazing debut, I fell in love with Devlin Markham, Devil Duke of Huntington from the moment I met him when the charming Lady Sophie Wolcott fell from a tree and made her acquaintance with him and here starts a journey with suspense, fabulous banter and a slow and steady sensual pull from two people who never meant to fall in love, do yourself a favour pick this one up and have a very enjoyable time and trip back to Victorian England you will not be sorry.

Lady Sophie is single and four and twenty some would say on the shelf already and she is happy to stay that way, after the man that she felt she loved married someone else, her father was a rake and broke her mother’s heart and so Sophie throws all of her energy into the orphanage where she helps orphans learn to read and acquire positions. But meeting the Devil Duke is about to upend her life in many ways and when she is convinced to marry Devlin to save the orphanage and mystery abounds regarding one of her charges from the orphanage he is the man to turn to.

Devlin is a man that goes out and gets what he wants in life, he has secrets that have been kept for many years and has the worst reputation in the Ton as a rake, and he in in trade would you believe and when he wants Queen Victoria to sign off on a deal her answer is get married first. There is one woman that has taken his interest after meeting her in a situation not normal for Ladies of the ton but their easy banter makes him think that he could live with her, plan settled he is out to get her anyway he can, never realizing what will happen with his emotions.

This is a fast paced incredibly good story one that I fell into from page one MS Michaels has written a story that bought Devlin and Sophie to life on the pages as well as the other characters, the mystery, the sensual pull and the dialogue, murderers after revenge their business marriage starts to change and seeing Devlin cope when Sophie stands up to him, oh my what a story I loved it and truly I highly recommend this one. Thank you MS Michaels this one is a keeper and I do hope there are many more to come.

5/5 stars for a fabulous story
