Lies, deceit, intrigue and machinations vs. goodness, innocence, honesty and redemption. All in a day's work for Victoria Vane, the new queen of Georgian era romances.Using her vast knowledge of the Georgian era and interweaving fiction with facts from the lives of real people and past historical events, Victoria Vane has crafted a tale of romance and period drama that kept this reviewer turning the pages late into the night.Mary is the quintessential good girl unwittingly faced with schemes and temptation, while Hadley is the dissipated bad boy in need of a second chance and a savior. The supporting cast is well-rounded and the villains are complicated and interesting. Plotting is solid and very nicely paced, and the relationship between Mary and Hadley develops quite naturally and is never forced or rushed.Fans of Victoria Vane's Devil DeVere series will find TREACHEROUS TEMPTATIONS to be a bit darker and less ribald, but the comparison showcases the author's range and ability to switch from sexy, humorous stories to the more serious and dramatic. It's certain to be appreciated by fans of Georgian romance.Reviewed by Angiefor TheRomanceReviews.com
