I stayed up way to late three nights in a row devouring Wicked Designs.At first, I wasn’t too sure about those charming rouges and their less than gentlemanly plot to kidnap  Emily. I ended up adoring each of those lords and look forward to reading their stories.Godric is a man haunted by his father’s cruelty and all too aware of the darkness that lurks in his soul, Godric scoffs at the idea of every loving a woman. Emily, orphaned and forced to live with an uncle who is willing to barter her to a lecherous blackguard to cancel a debt, is a fabulous combination of innocence and feistiness.Ms. Smith’s wonderful descriptions and titillating dialogue keep this story hopping along.  The brilliantly crafted plot kept me rapidly turning the pages, wondering, right up until the end, if the hero and heroine would have their happy-ever-after.I received an advance reader copy for an honest review.
