The first book of Robyn DeHart's Dangerous Liaisons series starts out right in the middle of the action.This is a historical romantic suspense novel that grabbed my attention from the beginning. Mia (who was blinded in an accident) stumbles across a murder which could be Jack the Ripper back at work. She is scared and seeks Alex Foster's (Duke of Carrington) help. Alex and Mia's search for the murderer leads to a possible connection to Alex's brother, Drew, who is arrested for the murders. But that is another story.... The chemistry between Alex and Mia is not instanteous and I really liked that they came to know each other while searching for clues to the murderer. Mia believes she will never marry and would like to know what passion is just once. Alex, unfortunately, has been promised to another even though he has feelings for Mia. Their story is bittersweet and you wonder if they will see their happily ever after. Don't worry, they do. There is a side romance between Rachel, Mia's companion, and Edward. Edward and Rachel parted ways years before on acrimonious terms but their love endured. Their story was sweet and added to the story (I would have loved to have read more about their relationship). The novel has a bit of a gothic aspect with Jack the Ripper's POV throughout the book which gave me the creeps at times but made for great reading. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the next in the series.I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
