It’s been quite some time since I’ve read the previous books in this series. 

Things I liked:
  1. Danny has a mysterious past
  2. Jeremy isn’t a lord 
  3. The banter amongst the Malory family members 

Things I didn’t like:
  1. A bit too much convenience for me on the killer recognizing someone in the city streets who used to be 5 years old and is now an adult 
  2. Awful convenient that the cousin is also the thief 
  3. Danny should have visited Lucy more often. She seemed to forget her friends very quickly until she needed them again

A little far fetched, predictable tale of a noble child who grows up in the slums of London, passing as a boy and stealing for a living. She then gets a job as a maid, falls in love with her boss and eventually finds out that she is nobility. I enjoyed it.

Not my favorite.



I feel like Lindsey is a good historical romance writer for people who don’t care or know much about history. Not for me though.

A nice romance.
It was the first novel about the Malory family I read, so I took it quite as a stand-alone. I liked Danny, a lot. And I loved Jeremy.
After gaining perspective, I loved Jeremy even more, simply because he is James' son, and James is... James.

I want to reread at some point.

Yeah, Jeremy deserved better, IMO. If you're the son of a pirate, you deserve a story that doesn't have you coming off as an uptight manwhore. And who knew that those things could exist in one person?
