Valentine Napier, the Duke of Montgomery, is in the business of blackmail. I will say, however, that if you really cannot stomach a very bad guy as the hero, then this book may not be for you. I will have to remedy that oversight as soon as possible! However, not having read that did not cause me too many problems with this one as it can easily be read as a standalone. So I am not quite sure how it happened that I missed reading Sweetest Scoundrel, one of the books that sets up Valentine Napier’s story. I always look forward to new titles by this author, and generally buy them as soon as they are released. But I knew this particular author was something special as soon as I finished reading The Raven Prince and felt compelled to immediately turn back to page one and re-read it. It is amazing to me when an author can sustain a series as long as Elizabeth Hoyt has her Maiden Lane novels without their becoming stale or tedious.
