Review by Booklist Review
Aidan de Quincy, the Earl of Blankenship, always believed that when he met the right woman, he would sweep her off her feet. But Aidan is swept away by the mysterious Madeleine Chandler. The two quickly begin an incandescent affair that ends disastrously when Aidan proposes, and Madeleine coldly informs him their affair is over. Three years later, Aidan meets a young child named Melody, who insists one of the gentlemen in Brown's Club for Distinguished Gentlemen is her father. Convinced that Madeleine has been keeping a secret from him, Aidan is determined to find her and prove to her that they belong together. What Aidan doesn't know is that Madeleine's secret is not only an obstacle to their future together but also threatens to put an end to Madeleine's life. Bradley has few rivals when it comes to combining wickedly witty writing, wonderfully original characters, and a danger-spiced plot, and her latest exquisitely sensual Regency historical is another triumph.--Charles, John Copyright 2009 Booklist
