May contain some spoilersIf you are looking for mystery, murder, suspense, humor, and a lot of romance with spice look not further. I enjoyed A COLLECTOR'S ITEM: ROWENA'S AFTER DARK REGENCY ROMANCE. I really liked the heroine, Rowena. She was sweet, innocent but spunky at the same time. All that she wanted was to solve a 12 year old murder mystery to possibly clear her brother, Malcolm and her husband, Alaric. Alaric, The Earl of Brayleigh, had the devil may care attitude about life. He went around collecting beautiful things, like art work. Alaric and Malcolm were adversaries from way back. Malcolm fled England to the continent when it was thought he killed Ingram. Alaric was under suspicion for the murder but deflected it to Malcolm.  Both Malcolm and Alaric were at the scene of the crime 12 years ago.I loved the by-play between Rowena and Alaric. You could tell that both the H/h were in love early on. Then throw Malcolm and Alaric's ex-mistress into the mix  and voila, the fun begins! The banter between all of the characters was so much fun to read. The sex scenes were hot.I just can't wait for Alicia to release her next book! She has become and auto buy for me.
