rjordan19 's review for:
The Love Affair of an English Lord
by Jillian Hunter
Chloe Bocastle is seen kissing a gentleman and her brother Grayson, the patriarch of the family, sends her off to the country until the scandal cools off. This happens on the page time of book 1, where Grayson is the hero.
Upon her arrival to the country, she finds her neighbor, Dominic, has been viciously murdered in his bed. Why, then, is he hiding in all of her unmentionables in her room? He is trying to solve the mystery of why someone wants him dead by continuing the play dead.
The first 100 pages take place basically in Chloe's bedroom where she discovers Dominic. I find Hunter's dialogue funny and fast paced, as usual. I think her flow has improved a bit with this story too. Some tension between them is built up, but doesn't go far, since Dominic is wounded.
Dominic had quite the scandalous reputation and now that he's 'dead', people claim his ghost is seducing people during the night. The rumors are quite funny and silly. There's a scene that I loved, where is does descend on Chloe while she sleeps, pleasuring her and leaving behind a white rose.
There were quite a few funny parts in this book. But I thought the character depth was lacking a bit. I also felt like Chloe gave in too fast for Dominic. There was no thought of the future repercussions and they hardly knew each other. I get that happens in romance, but I just didn't feel the build up at this point. Yet, overall, an enjoyable and fun read. Heath, another Boscastle brother, comes in toward the end of the story to wrap up the ends up Chloe's scandalous situation and he is the hero of book 3, The Wedding Night of an English Rogue.
