What can I say...I adored this last novel in the series which, more than any other, has surprised me with the growth it has made. My initial approach with the Maiden Lane series has not been among the best; I'm not a big fan of Wicked Intentions and Notorious Pleasure, quite the contrary...but I'm totally in love with, in order of appreciation and amount of shivers/emotions aroused, Thief of Shadows, Duke of Midnight and Scandalous Desires. These just mentioned are among my all time favourite romances and they are the reason why I love the series and Elizabeth Hoyt's style. which is sharp, realistic, sometimes harsh, but also so very gentle, romantic and breathtaking and this is exactly what I believe to be the author's strength, the not-very-common capacity to combine roughness and sweetness in a perfect balance.
