Summary from goodreads.com:
Accustomed to running wild with her Lycan brothers in the swamps of Louisiana, Miss Liviana Mayeux is shipped off to London where Lady Hadley offers to sponsor and assist her. Before she knows it, Vivi finds herself in the middle of a pack of English wolves who are all vying for her attention. But Lady Hadley's handsome son Grayson is determined to keep her out of trouble. If only he knew how...
My Review:
I just love this series! Each book keeps getting better! I really, really love the Hadley brothers, so I especially enjoyed this installment. I always thought Wes was my favorite of the brothers, but now Gray has swooped in and won my heart!
One of my favorite things about these books is that they are so lighthearted and fun, without being fluffy. The family drama is so entertaining, and keeps me invested in the series, book after book. Sometimes, I felt like this one focused a little too much on Sophie and Archer, but they were so cute, it's really ok.
All of Lydia Dare's heroes are fantastic, and never over the top alpha or chauvinistic, but Gray was especially sweet, so I really fell for him. It was nice to see a very engaging hero who wasn't really over the top in any way. In fact, he had his klutzy, uh oh moments that were so endearing!
Livi was also a super sweet lady without being a goody two shoes. She understood the ways of the world, and she even had learned some especially foul curses from her brothers, but she was also quite innocent and sweet. It really made her likable and also, relatable. Livi and Gray just really seemed like a genuine 'sweet' couple.

I'm glad the series keeps holding up for you!! That's great. I think I read one of the books once but I don't remember which one was it.
ReplyDeleteI did like the fact that she already knew the secret :D
ReplyDeleteGah, I love this series so much and I agree with you completely on everything you said. I can't wait for Sophie and Archer's story though. They've spent so long fighting that it will be interesting to see what changes. I still have my favorite though and it's Dashiel :)

Um, I could fall for Gray with those abs. Seriously, are there men walking around that look like that? The one laying next to me never looked like that at least since I've known him. He swears he did when he was in high school and college, but I have no evidence of this. Just pictures of him with an afro (jewfro) which has completely disappeared. I love him dearly and would be completely lost without him but I'd love to see those abs on him. Of course, I don't look at all like the woman either. So there is that.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're enjoying the series. This is the time to read fun books!

ReplyDeleteI love to books that get better as the series progresses. Sadly, it's usually the other way around! Great review, Carrie!
ReplyDeleteI'm adding this one to my list for post-Christmas shopping. I can't wait!
