WHEN THE DEVIL MEETS AN ANGEL...
Country bred Lucy Craddock-Hayes is content with her quiet life. Until the day she trips over an unconscious man-a naked unconscious man-and loses her innocence forever.
HE CAN TAKE HER TO HEAVEN...
Viscount Simon Iddesleigh was nearly beaten to death by his enemies. Now he's hell-bent on vengeance. But as Lucy nurses him back to health, her honesty startles his jaded sensibilities-even as it ignites a desire that threatens to consume them both.
OR TO HELL
Charmed by Simon's sly wit, urbane manners, and even his red-heeled shoes, Lucy falls hard and fast for him. Yet as his honor keeps him from ravishing her, his revenge sends his attackers to her door. As Simon wages war on his foes, Lucy wages her own war for his soul using the only weapon she has-her love...
Review: This book took me by surprise -- though I don't know why. It's not like Hoyt's books have ever left me unsatisfied before. I ADORE this new-ish author. How does she do it? I was rolling along in this book enjoying it, but not wowed at first, but about half way through I was well and truly captivated and emotionally involved in Simon and Lucy's story. I admit that I was at first a little put off by Simon's fashion sense. The word "metro-sexual" comes to mind.... but once I caught the glimpses of the man behind the urbane mask, I was lost. This is an emotional and wonderful story that should not be missed. And no, still not as good as The Raven Prince.... I'm still waiting for one of her books to reach the utter perfection of that story.
