Now, I loved the third book and wasn&#8217;t sure how this one would play out for me. Don&#8217;t get me wrong Julian is a dark, tortured hero. He also possess that dry, haughty nature only a duke can deliver well. So naturally I should love him, but he&#8217;s proven to be the most debauched, willing to seduce a married woman. Definitely not hero material.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In this book he&#8217;s still the same naughty, improper Duke, but with an extra layers I didn&#8217;t get the pleasure of becoming familiar with. When it comes to being less of an ass and more of a caring male, he doesn&#8217;t start out that way. Sorry, Denford is in my bad-boys-to-stay-away-from-list. He quickly makes up for it by attempting to be a good big brother to his step-sisters and trying to be helpful to his newly hired governess \u2014 while convincing her an affair is a good idea at the same time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The governess is searching for a killer and she&#8217;s probably the best mysterious heroine written in a while. Jeanne is looking for the man who killed her family. It&#8217;s heartbreaking to believe that the Duke of Denford might have been involved, but the weaving story about her family&#8217;s history, Julian&#8217;s involvement, and how this all revolves around priceless art is in itself sheer genius. The entire time Jeanne is on the hunt she&#8217;s trying not to fall into Julian&#8217;s debauchery, which is damn difficult. The man is sin on a stick. I applaud our heroine for fighting the good fight, but eventually she loses, which of course love requires loss at some point.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now as far as pacing goes, this book is a quick clip with the pieces of the puzzle coming together rather quickly. Normally I figure out mysteries before the end of the book, but I&#8217;ll admit this one wasn&#8217;t easy for me. Neville does a wonderful job of keeping the suspense bit rolling and the suspect list large. The budding romance weaves and ebbs around the mystery nicely. There are a couple of characters I wanted to see receive more punishment, but they didn&#8217;t; darn. In the meantime I&#8217;ll cross my fingers and hope Neville writes books for Julian&#8217;s sisters. These half-Irish girls are endearing, and added an element to the book I didn&#8217;t expect. Also, if you&#8217;re read the whole series so far you have to read this one because Oliver finally finds a woman worth adoring.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall, this one is wonderful and I highly recommend to readers who enjoy <em><strong>Cara Elliot, Lecia Cornwall<\/strong><\/em> or <em><strong>Loretta Chase<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/21857130-the-duke-of-dark-desires\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/goodread-logo.jpg?resize=210%2C86\" alt=\"goodread-logo\" width=\"210\" height=\"86\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Reviewed by<\/em>\u00a0<strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Landra<\/span><br \/>\nHeat Level: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Hot<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/4_star_blog.jpg?resize=165%2C60\" alt=\"4_star_blog\" width=\"165\" height=\"60\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00JJUZ22I?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=thesea0f-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00JJUZ22I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/amazon-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"amazon-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=4jojKl08wnk&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=266972.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=8432&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fsearch.barnesandnoble.com%252Fbooksearch%252Fisbninquiry.asp%253Fean%253D9780062243355\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bandn-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"bandn-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/lookup?isbn=9780062243355\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/iBooks_Icon.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"iBooks_Icon\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=4jojKl08wnk&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=290193.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=9309&amp;RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kobobooks.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.html%3Fq%3D9780062243355\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/kobo-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"kobo-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/search?q=9780062243355&amp;c=books\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/icon-google-play.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"icon-google-play\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-15203\" data-postid=\"15203\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-15203 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wanted: Governess able to keep all hours . . .
