I liked this second book in the Night trilogy better than I did the first book (Night Storm). The children were delightful as was the main character Lily.

Night Shadow is the second story in the "Night Trilogy".

Knight Winthrop, Viscount Castlerosse is very happy with his life just the way it is. Then Lily Tremaine shows up on his doorstep claiming she was bethrothed to his murdered cousin. With her are his cousin's three children. She has no money, nowhere to go. What's even worse - Ugly Arnold is hard on her heels.

You'll laugh at the antics of Laura Beth, Sam and Theo.
Good not great. Fairly typical historical romance.

Druhá kniha Noční trilogie.

Příběh zchudlé šlechtické dívky Lily se odehrává v Anglii těsně po napoleonských válkách. Lily je otcem zasnoubena s ovdovělým sirem Tristanem Winthropem, jemuž má pomoci v péči o jeho tři děti. Ten je však zavražděn a jeho dům vykraden a Lily s hrůzou seznává, že byla snoubenkou lupiče, jemuž se jeho kumpáni krutě pomstili. Lily zcela bez prostředků hledá pomoc u snoubencova příbuzenstva, aby pomohla hlavně dětem, jež neskonale miluje. Avšak strýc Arnold je ochoten pečovat o sirotky jen tehdy, pokud se krásná dívka stane jeho milenkou. A tak Lily prchá dál, do Londýna, za dalším příbuzným, snoubencovým bratrancem Knightem, a po předchozích show more nepříjemných zkušenostech se raději vydává za vdovu po Tristanovi a matku malých dětí. Rozmařilého mladíka nejdříve její rozpustilé děti iritují a brání se bližšímu soužití, ale Lilyina krása mu nakonec učaruje, i když respektuje její vdovský stav. Snoubencovi kumpáni, kteří nenašli v domě svůj ukrytý lup ji stále hledají. Situace se dramatizuje, Lily se musí Knightovi svěřit, a nakonec se jak Lily, tak Knight ocitají v nebezpečí života - a Lily projeví tolik odvahy a péče, že získá nejen Knightovu důvěru, ale i lásku. show less
