A review by serpentskirtt
The Most Dangerous Duke in London by Madeline Hunter

4.0

Catherine Coulter and Nora Roberts were the foundation of my romance love. When I got older, I discovered Madeline Hunter. I read one of her books, and then bought all the rest. After a few duds that just couldn't maintain my interest, I didn't pick up a Hunter novel for a long while. I bought one in this series, and decided to read the predecessors first.

It was a different Hunter than I've read before - in some ways it reminded me of a Mary Balogh novel - characters with a quiet passion. I liked that a good amount of the book was dedicated to Clara's publication of her journal, and the journal in itself was great as well.

I was worried about Adam's quest for revenge - worried it was going to be old-school manipulation - but thankfully it faded into the background, and,
Spoilerwhen it became an issue in the relationship, it was resolved rather easily, since it didn't involve bad behavior on his part.


I am so glad to return to Hunter's books, as they were so special to me a few years ago.
