Nicholas Haddonfield, Viscount Reston, was a secondary character in Darius, the first book in Grace Burrowes’ Lonely Lords series. In this, the second book, we get to know Nicholas more fully, and to discover the nature of the scandal which surrounded Darius’ sister, Leah, which was hinted at in the first book. Nicholas is a…
In Grace Burrowes’ third Lonely Lords book, centre stage belongs to reclusive Ethan Grey, who is almost the exact opposite of his garrulous, younger half-brother Nicholas Haddonfield, now Earl Bellefonte. Where Nicholas is lively and open-hearted, Ethan is guarded; where Nicholas loves, he shows it, while Ethan does not. Both blessed with above average height…
This review originally appeared at Romantic Historical Reviews in 2013 The events in Beckman: Lord of Sins, book four in Grace Burrowes’ Lonely Lords series, run parallel to events that take place in book two, Nicholas: Lord of Secrets, and there are several references throughout as to what Nick is up to, rattling around in…
This review originally appeared in 2014 Many of the books in Ms Burrowes’ Lonely Lords series have included an element of mystery or suspense alongside the romance, but Andrew has the feel of a gothic romance about it from fairly early on. It also relates strongly to the book that preceeds it – Gareth: Lord of Rakes – which makes…
This review originally appeared in 2013 I will admit, much as I adore Grace Burrowes’ writing, that I rolled my eyes when I saw the premise of this book. A rakish marquess is tasked with the ruin of a proper and well-bred young woman when she inherits –of all things – a brothel from a…
This review originally appeared in 2014 When we met Douglas Allen, Viscount Amery in Andrew: Lord of Despair, he came across as rather cold, unfailingly correct and a bit stand-offish, so it was perhaps a little difficult to imagine him as the romantic hero of his own book. To be fair, he has bloody good reason…
Readers who have followed Grace Burrowes’ Lonely Lords from the beginning may recall the heroine of this book – Lady Avis Portmaine – as the sister of the heroine of the third, Ethan: Lord of Scandals. In that story, we learned that governess Alice Portman (in reality Lady Alexandra Portmaine) had been injured during her…
I’m a sucker for kids. Whether in real life or in books, there’s something about children that pulls me in. I love hanging out with them, talking to them, playing with them. Grace Burrowes does a great job of writing about children, in my experience, and that’s why I picked Ethan up. <!– var browName…
I am big fan of Grace Burrowes’ work. Her writing is sublime and even more importantly, so is her characterization. I’ve laughed and cried while reading her books; it takes a lot for the written word to reduce me to tears, but she’s managed it a few times. Darius is the first in a new…
