Historical Romance
What Goodreads Says:
A MAN
CONDEMNED . . .
Falsely
accused of murder and mute from a near-fatal beating, Apollo Greaves, Viscount
Kilbourne has escaped from Bedlam. With the Crown's soldiers at his heels, he
finds refuge in the ruins of a pleasure garden, toiling as a simple gardener.
But when a vivacious young woman moves in, he's quickly driven to distraction .
. .
A
DESPERATE WOMAN . . .
London's
premier actress, Lily Stump, is down on her luck when she's forced to move into
a scorched theatre with her maid and small son. But she and her tiny family
aren't the only inhabitants—a silent, hulking beast of a man also calls the
charred ruins home. Yet when she catches him reading her plays, Lily realizes
there's more to this man than meets the eye.
OUT OF
ASH, DESIRE FLARES
Though scorching passion draws them
together, Apollo knows that Lily is keeping secrets. When his past catches up
with him, he's forced to make a choice: his love for Lily . . . or the
explosive truth that will set him free.
I always look forward to the latest
Maiden Lane book. Darling Beast is
one I had to work to pre-order as Amazon is still feuding with Hachette and id
not allow pre-order. Instead I
went to Barnes and Nobel so I would have Darling Beast on the day it came out.
I loved both of the main
characters. Lily Stump is an
actress who puts her son Indigo above everything else. The scenes with Indigo and Apollo are
priceless. I could just picture
the small boy talking non-stop and the large man who is mute enjoying the
company.
Of course there are secrets on both
sides and a mystery to be solved. Look
for surprises, romances and of course a great HEA for Apollo and Lily.
Grand Central Publishing released
Darling Beast by Elizabeth Hoyt in 2014.
