Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by Sophia Nash
 An infamous night has been lost to memory. The scandalous Dukes of the Royal Entourage must make amends. The first step is a heroic rescue.

One of England’s most disreputable peers, Alexander Barclay, Duke of Kress, has stumbled upon a perfect opportunity for redemption. Having been exiled to Cornwall by the Prince Regent himself, Barclay discovers lovely Roxanne Vanderhaven clinging to the edge of a cliff, stranded there by her murderous blackguard of a husband . . . just waiting to be rescued.

Back on solid ground, Roxanne is desperate for a new life— once she’s retaliated for her husband’s despicable actions. Surprisingly, she finds herself drawn to her unlikely champion, certainly the last man in England she could count on. Yet, the infamous Duke of Kress isn’t quite the scoundrel he seems . . .

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS: Top Pick

Now this is what true romance reads like! Sophia Nash offers a delectable story in BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA. Filled with witty humor and lively banter, this one is entertainment at its finest.

I will be honest and say it isn't perfect, but boy, is it funny! I love the dialogue and general silliness of the hero and heroine. There is some predictability to their story line, and the heroine has some harebrained schemes in her swiftly working mind, but she meshes wonderfully with the hero. The two of them are a match made in craziness and fate.

As obvious as the ending has to be, I most definitely looked forward to the happiness of it. With a hero and heroine so perfectly made for each other in a most charming story, BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA is a fantastic Regency era romance.
