I liked the children in this book, the dogs, and the female characters the most. Helen and Munroe's sister Sophia were engaging. Hoyt moved the overall mystery story forward abit but it was mostly teasers. I really like all of her books and I particularly like how smoothly she tells two stories at ...

4.5 starts - Great book. Loved the relationship between Alistair and Helen. I felt so sorry for Alistair with his horrible scarring, missing eye and missing fingers. And then Helen being able to look beyond all that to the man himself and being physically attracted to him was wonderful. I'm plan...

Much better than I'd thought it would be :)I don't have time to do a big in-depth review right now but a few points:What worked for me:* This time "tortured hero" really did mean tortured hero -- Sir Alistair had been tortured by natives in America, having lost a couple fingers, an eye, and being so...

Caught in a FAB Romance (@TheLoveJunkee)
Based on several mentions that I saw on the internet, I picked To Beguile a Beast. Bad choice. I hope this book is not representative of historical romance. Where to begin? I just couldn't get with the plot. The heroine was the mistress of a Duke, Ms. Fitzwilliam, that decided to run away with her (...

I have read all of Elizabeth Hoyt's books and I think this is my favorite one of all! I have been looking forward to this one since Helen and Alastair were introduced in the last book. Generally, I don't tend to read books revolving around former mistresses and children, but this one was different...

I loved it, it hooked me in and didn't let go until the very last page. Although, I was a little disappointed it didn't focus a little more on the traitor like the other books and Alistair trauma with living with his scars, it did show him moving on and accepting himself and Helen.
