This is the first book in the Maiden Lane series and it was a great beginning to a series that includes 12 books. The setting was well described and the diverse characters lure you into wanting to read more of the books in order to read and get to know the other characters. I loved the male lead, La...
St. Giles in the 1730s was one of the most impoverished areas of London. Widowed Mrs. Temperance Dews runs a children's home for orphaned and foundling children, with the help of her younger brother, Winter Makepeace, who also tutors the boys until they're old enough to apprentice out.

This is my favorite novel of the series so. I know that this is the first book in the Maiden Lane series but I tend to read them out of order. What I really enjoyed about this novel is how well all the elements were woven in especially the subplots and side stories that will be expanded in future no...
This is the second time I’m reading this book and it’s just as great as the first time I read it. WICKED INTENTIONS kicks off the Maiden Lane series with Lazarus Huntington, Lord Caire (sexy name!) and Temperance Dews.
