I cannot decide whether I prefer Raphael and his tortured, brooding nature or Iris and her openness and unfiltered love. Saving Iris turns into something he didn’t expect, but it isn’t going to stop him on his quest for revenge. Raphael is expected to take his father’s place in the nefarious Lords of Chaos, but he has other plans. Fortunately for her, she has an ally and savior in an extremely unlikely source…Raphael, the Duke of Dyemore. Iris is kidnapped by the evil group that has terrorized a number of people in the past few books. A perfectly tortured hero and smart, no-nonsense heroine make this one memorable. So, you know I was excited to read this final entry in what is certainly one of my favorite series ever.
Hoyt has a way of combining the sweeping saga of a historical romance with the dark and edgy in a way that suits my tastes perfectly. Far darker than many of Hoyt’s romances, Duke of Desire is emotionally powerful, and readers will be transfixed by this poignant tale of revenge and redemption.I have enjoyed all of the Maiden Lane books to this point. “Duke of Desire…delivers the coup de gras to The Lords of Chaos. Is their love strong enough to withstand not only the Lords of Chaos but also Raphael’s own demons? But when Iris discovers that Raphael’s past may be even more dangerous than the present, she falters. Soon he is drawn both to her quick wit and her fiery passion. Much to Raphael’s irritation, Iris insists on being the sort of duchess who involves herself in his life-and bed. But now with the Lords out to kill them both, he has but one choice: marry the lady in order to keep her safe. Rescuing Lady Jordan was never in his plans. When one of the masked-and nude!-Lords spirits her away to his carriage, she shoots him, only to find she may have been a trifle hasty.Ĭynical, scarred, and brooding, Raphael de Chartres, the duke of Dyemore, has made it his personal mission to infiltrate the Lords of Chaos and destroy them. Her captors are the notoriously evil Lords of Chaos.
Refined, kind, and intelligent, Lady Iris Jordan finds herself the unlikely target of a diabolical kidnapping.
