| The Earl of Leahaven had returned to London to everyone’s excitement. Everyone except for Winifred who dreaded the day he would come back. He broke her heart five years ago. She was no longer the same naive little chit, eager to fall for his smooth way of talking. She was determined to keep as far away from him as possible. As for Ransom he had never gotten over loving Winfred and he meant to prove to her that she still loved him.
A Devil’s Proposal is an exciting and passionate regency romance that contains thrilling action and great suspense. Through the writing of Jodici Belle, the era comes to life in vivid color. The emotional distress Winfred suffered, and that resulted in their long separation, is heart breaking. It is easy to see how the circumstances shape the characters. Winfred has to learn to trust someone she believes deceived her. This is an emotionally stirring story that will carry the reader through heartbreak, anger, passion, fear and finally love. The mystery behind the threats on Winfred is interesting and the conclusion is totally surprising. This element adds to the story by building a sense of fear and distrust. The dialogue is powerful and conveys the thoughts and emotions of the characters. The book flows smoothly and is hard to set aside once you start reading. A Devil’s Proposal is as an emotionally stirring historical romance and mystery. I recommend it to readers as a passionate and intriguing story that brings the regency era to life.
