    The Earl's Defiant Wallflower. This was a re-read for me and I had forgotten some of the details over the years but as soon as I started reading, it all came gushing back full force. I remembered why it graced my Keeper Shelf. This book brought emotions out of me that came from my depths.

    Lucien and Eva both fight their demons before they come to find love and take If I could only pick two words to describe this book it would be "I cried" Lucien and Eva both fight their demons before they come to find love and take you on an adventure you won't soon forget. For those of you who have read the previous book, The Defiant One,I say with a smile that Lucien gets his payback where a certain potion is concerned. I know it's silly to have a crush on a character from a book but it never stopped me with Fifty Shades and it certainly wont stop me now!

    Lucien is my favourite brother by far. He loves his brothers and makes it his aim to see them happy and settled, even if they think him wicked. Until he gets a taste of his own medicine when the sexy, sultry Eva challenges him. Eva is just the right match for Lucien, the only one to put him in his place and in return romance happens! I enjoyed this book, its characters, its story and its conclusion. Perfect end to a perfect series: Well now, I must admit this has not been my favorite in this series.

    I was anticipating Lucian's story and I expected more. It wasn't bad but it was rather dark and lacked the romance and playfulness of the previous books. It improved in the last part of the book with some excitement. I was glad to see Andrew come through.

    The narrator did a decent job with the exception of Eva's voice. I didn't care for how he read her part - too breathless. I am looking forward to seeing how the last sibling's Well now, I must admit this has not been my favorite in this series. I am looking forward to seeing how the last sibling's story goes. Having read the first book in this series, I skipped to the final title because I was too impatient to read the intervening two titles and I really wanted to enjoy this book.

    The hero suddenly lost all the elements that made him interesting in the first book and turned into a wuss who messed up everything. And really - she's pulling out swords and threatening violence and mayhem all through the book? And this is suppose Having read the first book in this series, I skipped to the final title because I was too impatient to read the intervening two titles and I really wanted to enjoy this book. And this is supposedly set in the 19th century? I won't be reading anything else by this author.

    This was a nice ending to the series. Even though the heroine drove me mad thru most of the book, I still enjoyed it. She made me drop it a star. She certainly had reasons to distrust men but it just got tiresome after awhile. However, things happened to make her change her mind, dark, tragic things but it woke her up to Lucien's true nature.

    Lucien learned lessons too, the hard way. However, it of course, all turned out well in the end. I had really been looking forward to Lucien's story but was so very disappointed. Actually, I was more than disappointed--I actually considered not finishing this. I disliked how Lucien was so exceedingly vilified by his family, while in contrast, the heroine's many flaws and faults were conveniently overlooked.

    I think you definitely need to read the prior book to understand the heroine in this book. Very enjoyable ending to a very enjoyable series. I'd give the series as a whole 3. The books read very quickly and are a lot like popcorn, not very substantial, but addictive! This one redeemed the series a bit. Lucien is a much more intriguing character and Eva was a good match for him. The two "action" sequences towards the end of the book were nail-biters like the end of the first one.

    I missed that element in the other two. Lovely conclusion to a summer week's worth of historical, romantic escape. The pace of this the fourth in the series was slower and less engaging than the previous three. I skimmed large sections in the middle of this book. It did get interesting again at the end. I knew from the very beginning this was going to be my favorite book in the series!

    I dislike leaving a book in a series unread especially the ending but based off my feelings after listening to 3hrs and skimming over the reviews of what is to come I am going to bow out for now. The Duke Who Lied. The stunning Eva de la Mouriere was a dedicated American patriot who needed to get France to commit to helping the Americans win their independence as a separate nation from England. Your display name should be at least 2 characters long. A little "roll your eyes" dramatic at times. What The bluest of blood; the boldest of hearts; the de Montforte brothers will take your breath away.

    No doubt, it did not disappoint. Lucien de Montforte, Duke of Blackheath, has worked tirelessly with all sorts of schemes to get his brothers married, sooner rather than later. Through the series he is driven to make this so; not with humility are their marriages arranged, but with deviousness and great interference in the free-will of his brothers and now sisters-in law. He is so smug when he succeeds, that the reader begins feeling like he needs a big awakening. He has a secret about himself which is not share About the Story: He has a secret about himself which is not shared with the reader, so as you read through the series you wonder what it is.

    He alludes to his death and nightly is haunted by nightmares, rarely sleeps more than four hours nightly. Even though each of his brothers are very much in love with their wives, he through his interference has lost much of the respect and love his brothers and sister once had for him. We also learn through books that he loves his family, unswervingly so, promising his parents when he was age 10 that he would take care of them and be their mother and father which is the premise underpinning his need to get them happily married—before it is too late. In book 4 he decides his sister Nerissa, the last of his siblings, must get married.

    She is already in love, and soon to be betrothed, but Perry, Lord Brookhampton, a neighbor and childhood playmate needs more time before he settles down. His thinking is Perry will realize that he wants to marry sooner rather than later since distance would make the heart grow fonder.

    Perhaps it would have turned out, but the unthinkable happens. Perry is lost at sea when a French ship attacks his ship. Those that survived were sent to the prison in France. Nerissa is on her way to hating her brother and is completely devastated. Yes, it appears that Lucien just may have a heart. The stunning Eva de la Mouriere was a dedicated American patriot who needed to get France to commit to helping the Americans win their independence as a separate nation from England.

    In book 3 we are introduced to Eva and see how ruthless she is. She will kill, torment and steal anything to get what she wants. She knows he was involved. Eva knows she can outsmart Blackheath. The trouble is he affects her so strongly. She constantly fights this urge. She must stay in control. The darkened bedchamber was still. Outside, faint through the ancient walls, she could hear the night wind howling around the castle turrets.

    The solitary candle flame twisted and writhed against the winter drafts that managed to creep, unseen, through the leaded casement windows. But somehow, with some deep, primal part of herself, she sensed his presence. Knew that he had finally arrived…was now approaching. Then, faintly discernible over the wind, the rising tattoo of her heart, she heard them. Coming, now, up the spiraling stone stairs of this ancient tower.

    Sitting cross legged on the huge medieval bed in the near darkness, her heavy skits fanning about her hips, she became keenly aware of every sensation; the icy air against her skin…the way his fine linen sheets felt against her calves, her feet, naked beneath her petticoats…the way the lone bedside candle seemed to shrink back in nervous anticipation. She caressed the butt of the pistol, savoring the comforting weight of it in her hands. Her breath, hanging thick as fog in her lungs, stirred in small, silent exhalations.

    She tensed like a cat posed to strike down her prey. But she was driven by purpose. She had come for one thing, and she would not leave without it.

    She had worked hard to gain respect and prominence in a political arena dominated by men, but he had threatened that—and now she would threaten him. She squeezed the pistol lovingly. He would not emerge victorious this time. She had the element of surprise. And, she—a slow, feline smile curved her lips — had the cunning superiority of her gender. End Quote I adore this excerpt because it sets the tone of the story—and from the first page. It shows us how desperate Eva is. Lucien is her adversary. The lovely way that Ms. Harmon creates the terrible tension that the readers feels is excruciating.

    What is she going to do?

    Reward Yourself

    Shoot him right there? How is he going to get out of this? Lucien and Eva were wonderful characters to end the series. All throughout the books the reader has been wondering what makes Lucien act the way he does? Why is he so controlling? All his brothers and sisters-in-law gave him a wide berth.

    They were tired of being manipulated, controlled and treated as children. Eva is frankly perfect for Lucien. Where he is controlling, she is more so. Danelle Harmon has introduced and developed Lucien so well that he is a character that you want him to receive his comeuppance and who better than the beautiful Eva who without a thought of remorse, will kill, maim, or steal whatever she sees fit to get what she wants.

I have been reading this series in order, and was looking forward to this one. I have been disappointed in it. Eva is thoroughly unlikeable and unsympathetic, not to mention poisonously stupid. Honestly, if I'd been writing the stories, she would have gone to prison in the previous book, where she first appears.

    She's a thief, a murderer, and seems to have no empathy for other people at all. I know that such people do exist, but they aren't heroine material, they are villains. Her backstory really seems insufficient to account for such hatred of other humans even if they are 'only men' unless she's something of a psychopath. Lucien is a difficult person, but I can find more sympathy for him, after having lost both parents so young and having to take on the role of parent to his younger siblings although, in real life there should have been a guardian to take that responsibility until he was of age.

    It's not hard to see why he would feel like he needs to be overly controlling. I haven't finished the story yet -- I bought the book, so I'll keep plowing through to the end, even though I'm really tired of all the drama that Eva keeps causing with her self-centered arrogance. Eva changed character completely -- too much so to be realistic, in my opinion. I also wasn't happy with Lucien blaming himself for her leaving him the day they were married -- she went off the deep end, IMO, and was totally to blame for all of that and the ensuing drama.
