Girl left without a fortune by the death of her parents is hired as a companion by a kind friend of her mother. This friend had intended on setting her up with the local vicar, but on meeting the girl, decides she'd bee a good match for her son. Meanwhile, the son is investigating a string of kidnappings linked to the Hellfire Club. Too many characters and plot points for further books in the series. Not very memorable. ( )

Daniel, Earl of Cavendish is a vetern of the Peninsular War and is drawn into the investigation of the abduction of some upper class women. Also involved is his mother's companion Miss Elizabeth Travers, surrounded by scandal already she and he find themselves drawn together.

Fun read. The characters sparkle and I found them great fun. Scratch the surface and things don't quite gel but as a park your brain read it's quite readable. ( )
