Khelsey’s Thoughts:


Phoebe Scott, alias Kitty Willis, is a struggling actress and she is in need of a protector. She has many gifts from men that would want to help her but only one that she wants. People call Viscount Ludovic DeVere the devil. She goes to a brothel to find her protector; she meets Sir Edward Chambers, Ned to his friends. When she tells him that she is looking for someone to protect her, he tells her that he isn't what she is looking for. He lost his wife three years ago and hasn't been intimates with anyone since. She tells him to take her to De Vere that she will have him as her protector. Ned doesn't like the ideal of his friend with Kitty. When she meets De Vere he tell her to come and sit on his lap and when she does Ned leave. Passes out in the gutter and the princes men find him. De Vere bets that he can take Kitty in the king’s bed and will bring proof.


I love this story, I wish it was longer! It is a great romance historical. The relationship between Phonebe and Ned is instead. Almost love at first sight.
