'A dashing new neighbour…
Temptation on her doorstep!
To avoid an unwanted suitor at a ball, Hope Brookes asks another gentleman to rescue her. He obliges – with a surprisingly passionate kiss! Revealed as her sinfully handsome new neighbour, Lucius, Marquess of Thundersley, they forge a friendship over their balconies. It’s refreshing that Lucius is more interested in her writer dreams than her looks, so why can’t she stop thinking about that kiss?'
This is the story of Hope and Lucius (Luke) who have verbal interactions which show what is to come in the story even if the main characters don't know it yet. Their story is told over the course of 24 Chapters and is the second book in the 'Talk of Beau Mode' series which focuses on the Brooke sisters. Hope's sister Faith is the subject of Book one and the upcoming third book will be centered on Charity.
A running theme throughout this book is the verbal foreplay that the main characters enjoy in their interactions. This alone will keep readers gripped to this story let alone the other aspects of this book.
The story is well written and Virginia has a brilliant habit of writing strong and ambitious female characters. Hope is no different, she knows exactly what she wants to do with her life and how she wants to make her mark. Although her path to her dream is not the easiest, she is strong enough to keep to her path to get exactly where she wants to go.
Readers will find it hard to put this book down, as every single aspect of this story will call for readers to continue until they have finished the entire book. This book is also full historical knowledge which is enough to get readers interested in that period of time.
Let me tell you a little bit about the Author Virginia Heath. When she was a little girl it took her ages to fall asleep, so she would make up stories in her to help pass the time while she was staring at the ceiling. As she got older, the stories got more complicated, sometimes taking weeks to get to the happy ending. Then one day, she decided to embrace her insomnia and start writing them down. Despite that, it still takes her forever to fall asleep.
Overall this book is fab for all readers, whether you have read book one or not. The greatest thing about this series is that all the books are standalone but be ware once you have read one Brooke sister you will be left wanting to find out about the others. One thing I know for certain the third book in this series is definitely going on my TBR list! You can get you copy HERE.
