She spied him in the shadows . . . And in an instant, Thalia Langley knew the man before her was no saint. He might claim to be the Duke of Hollindrake's unassuming country cousin, but no man that handsome, that arresting, could be anything but . . . well, he simply must be an unrepentant rogue. His cat-like grace and power leave Tally shivering in her slippers at the notion of all the wicked, forbidden things he might be capable of doing . . . to her. Indeed, Lord Larken is no bumbling vicar, but a master spy there in his majesty's service to find--and murder--a notorious pirate freed in a daring prison escape. Devoted to the Crown, Larken's not about to let an interfering (and not entirely innocent) Mayfair miss disrupt his ruthless plans. Yet how can he be anything but tempted by this lady in a little black gown . . . a dress tantalizing enough to lead even Larken astray.… (more)

3.5 stars - enjoyed this and liked Tally’s story but the plot was somewhat weak for me. Possibly because I’m not a fan of Dash. I don’t see the attraction of him at all. Not overly looking forward to the next book in the series that seems to focus on him, but maybe he’ll win me round. ( )

This was an accidental re-read but the novel is actually better the second time round, since I'm now reading the The Bachelor Chronicles series in order. This title is strongly connected to the previous book, Love Letters from a Duke.

Thalia Langley, better known as Tally, is up to no good. She's assisting her cousin, Pippa, in her tempestuous romance with Dashwell. They have a plan...

Then, Lord Larken, disguised as a vicar appears. Tally sees through his masquerade quickly, but he's in search of Dashwell...

Many of the characters from the earlier books reappear, the Duke of Hollindrake, Felicity, Aunt Minty, Temple, and others. There's a wonderful tragic backstory for Lord Larken as well. And then the story of the little black gown... ( )

It did took me a little while to get into this book. However once I did I found myself completely lost within the story and the characters. I haven’t read any of Elizabeth’s previous book and now I think I will have to read some more. I found it had to put the book down and when I did, I couldn't wait to read it again. A treasure truly worth waiting to find. ( )

Book description
She spied him in the shadows...

And in an instant, Thalia Langley knew the man before her was no saint. He might claim to be the Duke of Hollindrake's unassuming country cousin, but no man that handsome, that arresting, could be anything but... well, he simply must be an unrepentant rogue. His cat-like grace and power leave Tally shivering in her slippers at the notion of all the wicked, forbidden things he might be capable of doing... to her.

Indeed, Lord Larken is no bumbling vicar, but a master spy there in his majesty's service to find—and murder—a notorious pirate freed in a daring prison escape. Devoted to the Crown, Larken's not about to let an interfering (and not entirely innocent) Mayfair miss disrupt his ruthless plans. Yet how can he be anything but tempted by this lady in a little black gown... a dress tantalizing enough to lead even Larken astray.
