The Danger of Desire, Volume 3 by Sabrina Jeffries
4.0
4.5
Miss Delia Trevor is determined to find the man responsible for her brother's death. To do this she assumes the persona of a man and gambles through the gaming hells in the seediest part of town. So far she has been able to pull off this ruse with little complications (besides still not having found the man she's looking for), until one night when Warren Corry, The Marquess of Knightford happens to recognize her.
Immediately Warren is determined to figure out just what Delia thinks she's doing. If she's found out by anyone else, it could ruin her reputation and keep her from making a good marriage. He's knows he needs to keep her away from the gaming hells at all costs. But as he continues to put himself in her path at every instance, he begins to become interested in her. But letting things become serious between the pair threatens to reveal Warren's own closely guarded secret.
Will these two be able to forego their secrets and finally be able to trust each other?
Of the three books released in this series so far, I'd have to say that The Danger of Desire is my favorite. The mystery of whether or not Delia will find the man responsible for her brother's death, and who that person may be, plus the added mystery of Warren's secret really drives the story. I wouldn't call it suspenseful by any means, but it certainly kept my attention.
The added bonus of the witty repartee and chemistry between Delia and Warren is just icing on the cake.
Then there's the fact that Sabrina Jeffries includes what I hope will be the next couple in the secondary characters. I don't really want to give anything away because they are somewhat tied to the main storyline, but suffice it to say, it's been awhile for me since a potential secondary couple came even close to outshining the main romance. Which means, that if this couple does indeed get the next book in the series, my hopes are already quite high.
Overall, I've really enjoyed this series, it's one I look forward to each new release, and it seems as though Sabrina Jeffries has really his her stride with this one.
