![]() From the seamier smells of London’s impoverished back alleys to a gourmet breakfast that made me get out of bed and ransack the kitchen at 10 o’clock at night. The author also did a fantastic job engaging my sense of smell, something I don’t often experience reading books. Great sensuality and tension throughout, with lots of secondary characters to bring depth to the story and make you care what happened to the H&h. Miller does an excellent job of injecting historical fact into the story without beating the reader over the head with it. The part of Miller’s writing that impressed me the most (okay, there are 2 parts) was her ability to evoke the era (or certainly what felt like a “bygone” era, to me) and also her delightful turn of phrase (GREAT similes which made me alternately smile or move to the edge of my seat). I loved Hayden and Sophia (and also Lady Olivia) and their romance was fraught with enough delicious tension to keep me flicking the pages on my Kindle like a junkie. This book is a great way to kick off a holiday in a good mood! ![]() Never Dare a Wicked Earl by Renee Ann Miller ![]()
