"Why would I let the world see him? He's imperfect. No, he needs to stick to the shadows where he'll not bring shame to this family."
William Cavendish is…different. Too much so for his merciless father to bear publicly. He was hidden away from the world his entire life until, in one dark moment, he did the unthinkable to save his beloved brother, gaining his own freedom in the process. But liberty has its own price. William struggles with a world he doesn’t understand, emotions he’s never experienced…and an alarming taste for the dark side he’s discovered dwelling within him.
Formally educated in law, Tamara Bennet is unlike most women of the day. Not bad for the daughter of a lowly lady’s maid. When she learns a secret society was responsible for the torture of her closest acquaintance, Victoria Cavendish, she vows to employ any and all means—legal or otherwise—to bring the society to its knees. At her side is Victoria herself, as well as Victoria’s husband, Nicholas, and his brother—the intriguing and troubled William.
Delving ever deeper into London’s darkest shadows, an undeniable attraction blooms between William and Tamara, bringing them closer and closer…until their actions stir up perilous forces determined to tear them apart.
My Review - 4.5 stars
I read this in one sitting, and it's not a short book
I enjoyed this even more than Legacy of Succession. I'm not sure if it's because that book took me to the very edge of believable fiction, or something else, but there we have it. I loved William and, for most of the time, Tamara. They were interesting, likeable and easy to connect to, the passion and chemistry between them was very believable. There was only one occasion where Tamara forgave someone far too easily, but other than that there was nothing I would change about the plot or the main characters.
There are some very dark scenes scattered throughout the story, some involving the main characters and some not. Those parts are really well balanced with lighter moments and every day stuff, so that this satisfied my love of darkness without being too overwhelming.
William was not an antihero so much as a man who cared but whose sexual cravings were on the darker side. Be prepared for a wonderful scene of consensual non-consent that IMO was super spicy and really well written. In fact the whole book is well written, the story and dialogue flows smoothly. I always knew whose view I was following, who was speaking, where in the story and timeline I was etc.
Not only am I happy to recommend this but the story built up to a third book, which will feature Theo (Victoria's brother from book 1) which I will most certainly be reading.
