5.0 out of 5 stars a hero to die for, May 23, 2004

By

This review is from: The Silverton Scandal (Hardcover)

Amanda Grange's heroes are to die for, and Lucien is the best. Like all Amanda Grange novels (I haven't read the first one), there's a fast-paced adventure here: Eleanor's sister is on the verge of marrying a Duke, and is being blackmailed with some letters she wrote when she was still in the schoolroom. When the book opens, Eleanor is following the blackmailer to London in an effort to buy back the letters. The coach is held up by a highwayman, and when Eleanor breaks her journey at a friend's house she is introduced to Lucien, Lord Silverton, and realizes that he is the highwayman.
What he was doing in disguise forms one mystery of the book. Murder forms another. There's action, humor, and a fantasic tension between hero and heroine that reminds me of the sort of tension you get between characters in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. No gratuitous sex scenes, but you're never in any doubt that these two are mad for each other. And who can blame Eleanor for wanting Lucien? The girl has taste!

I particullary liked this book with the hero a dashing good looking man. Lots of twists and turns before it ends with a happy ending. I am so glad that several of Amanda's books are now available on ebooks.
