In 1897 London, Scotland Yard
Detective Sergeant Rory Kerrigan never expected to find love among the
crime-ridden streets he vowed to protect. Kerrigan, a man with a wretched past
and hardened heart, keeps emotion from his life and its interference with his
police work.
Abbess Rea is owner of the
brothel, The Blind Cupid, and a woman with a secret and desolate past of her
own. Rubenesque and leery of men, Rea lets no one close. Yet, she cannot deny
the ruggedly handsome Rory touches her heart.
A grisly murder on Kerrigan’s
turf has Rory and Rea teaming up to bring the killer to justice. As danger
lurks closer, secrets are revealed and passion is ignited. Will the copper and
the madam acknowledge their mutual yearning even at the peril of their lives?
Third and final book in the
Blind Cupid trilogy
Ms. Gerard has a serious skill
for writing historical romances with a very nice erotic twist. Rea is a madam,
she’s a bit of a difficult character because she’s really hard on herself. I
also think she’s a pretty strong character. She has a past she hides, and that
made her a bit of a mystery and a bit hard to like at first since she was hiding
so much, but once she opens up to Rory Kerrigan, I fell in love with her.
Rory Kerrigan is really
amazing, he’s got his own past but he’s the best thing that could have happened
to Rea. I loved these two together. I
also really loved the suspense elements of this story and I really loved the
steamy erotic elements.
I really enjoyed this story, I’ve
read the others in this series, but I can honestly say that this one is
fantastic as a standalone story.
I received a copy in exchange for my
honest review. I was not compensated for my review.
