Dangerous in Diamonds by Madeline Hunter
4.0
The male lead is clearly the only reason to read this one-- he was fun and just overall possessing a great sense of humor that really enhances his interactions with Daphne. Its interesting to see a male lead who is considered a rake, actually be just that, he literally and is depicted as partaking in careful but non the less unsavory pass times, with only one day (Tuesdays) where he remains sober and diligently takes care of his
As he pursues Daphne he sobers up in order to put all of his effort into that, while also maintaining his roguish charms with her. I was particularly entertained by his own continued insistence that there was nothing odd about his behavior and it was simply a seduction even when it obviously becomes more than that.
Note that I've spoken almost exclusively on Castleford and not Daphne...that's because the one downer in this book was her. She had little to no personality. Her history was intriguing in the same way it was to Castleford, but when matched with a personality with Castleford she just came off as boring and lacking. The only time I enjoyed her was when she was interacting with Castleford and it had a lot to do with their witty banter and dialogue.
