If he wins all he's ever wanted . . .
Reckless Sir Robert Hilliard has one last chance to remain a member of the League of the Blade, the daring fraternity of elite knights that secretly raised him. A Bladesman has been poisoned, and Robert must uncover enough evidence to hang the murderess. It seems quite simple, really . . . until he meets the red-haired beauty and falls hopelessly under her spell.
She'll lose all she's ever had . . .
He may be handsome, but Sarah Audley quickly discovers that Robert's no knight in shining armor. He's out to convict her for murder! Though Sarah vows her innocence, forces beyond her control are gathering against her. Even worse, she cannot deny her own flaming desire for this man who's so dangerous . . . and so irresistible.
Unless . . .
To satisfy their burgeoning passion, Robert may have to sacrifice his only dream. But he'll gain something even more precious—Sarah's undying love. |
RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:
WICKED, SINFUL NIGHTS is a decent read. However, it doesn't contain enough intrigue, suspense or unrequited love to be considered a must buy book. The murder mystery is pretty lackluster, and none of the characters are truly compelling. Despite all of this, what it has is a certain charm that keeps it interesting enough to finish.
The most lovely thing about WICKED, SINFUL NIGHTS is the time period it is set in. The scenery descriptions imagined by Latham are a nice transport back in time.
