Sir Hilary St. John has been looking for the sister of one of his friend's wives.  St. John is known for his investigative skills and it is believed that the sister, Eleanor Enderby, is in danger.  This night, though, Hilary does not need any skill whatsoever.  The lady is standing in front of her sister's house and so is Hilary.  And no one had told him how beautiful she was.This is the final book in "The Saint's Devils" series.  In my opinion, the other books in this series were average, but this book was great!  It is a fitting climax.  It has been my experience in the past that a leadership figure that has been built up in previous books, never quite measures up when he finally gets his own book.  Not true here.  Sir Hilary is romantic, capable, highly intelligent, fun, and is a true knight in shining armor.  And his relationship with Eleanor is steamy and builds deliciously.This author knows how to communicate and her characters have the best dialogue.  There is a mystery and the plot continues evenly and respects the reader.  Sir Hilary is refreshing in that he is always a hero to his friends, and his heroine.  Ms. Kane gifts us with a hero we can admire and appreciate.  It is the trend for most heroes in historical romance to have some arrested development issue, but Ms. Kane gives us a hero that "knows" how to love.  He knows what he wants, and he believes in his ability to get it.  Hilary is confident, yet not arrogant.  He is worldly, but not jaded.  Hilary finds joy and purpose in life, and all that know him are benefited.This book was a fun read.  Samantha Kane is an expert at character development and keeping the reader interested and excited.  This book is a great example of why I love historical romance.
