Notorious Pleasures

from Reformed Rakes Hosted by Reformed Rakes

Notorious Pleasures is the second book in Elizabeth Hoyt’s Maiden Lane series. Elizabeth Hoyt came onto the historical romance scene with her 2006 debut The Raven Prince. She writes strong characters who have opposing ideological centers to generate conflict. Lady Hero, the daughter of a duke, is set to marry Lord Mandeville, Thomas, in an advantageous society marriage. They will consolidate lands and interests and Hero can strengthen his parliamentary position . Her desire to marry Thomas comes about mostly so she can appease her brother, the one who arranged the match. Yet, it’s Thomas’ brother, Griffin, that catches Hero’s eye. The feeling is reciprocated and made all the more complicated by the gossip that Griffin seduced Thomas’ first wife. Support us on our Patreon!
