Rereading an old favorite.

Enjoyed this one as much (if not maybe a little more) than the first in the series.

Also, as with the first, I find the storyline/romance between Ben and Alicia to be much more compelling than the book's other romance storyline, which in this case is Angelina and Christopher. Not that I didn't enjoy their storyline at all, I did. And actually, I thought the fact that as the book began the couple were already in love, and needed Ben to help clear Angelina's name to be quite refreshing. But...when reading the parts of the book devoted to them, however enjoyable, I still longed to be back with Ben and Alicia.

Emma Wildes is one of my favorite historical romance authors, and I absolutely adore what she's doing with this series. It's a wonderful blend of mystery and romance.

From reading the synopsis, one would be led to believe that Elena and Ben are the romantic pairing in this book. That is so not the case. As with some other books by Ms. Wildes that I've read, there are two romance plots instead of the standard one.

Lady Elena Morrow and the notorious rake, Randolph Raines, Viscount Andrews awaken to find themselves locked together in an unknown room, minus most of their clothes. It becomes clear to the two of them that someone has set them up to become the unwilling participants in an enormous scandal. But who? And why?

Enter Benjamin Wallace, the Earl of Heathton, and his wife of six months, Alicia (who is also Elena's cousin). Benjamin is entreated by Elena's distraught father to help find his missing daughter.
