Kiss of Lies is a a compelling story of two emotionally and physically scarred people who come together under unusual circumstances and while fighting to overcome the damage caused to each of them by Regency society's rigid rules and expectations explore a deep passion that leads to an enduring love which helps each to heal the other's hidden scars. Whew -a long sentence I know but I hope it captures the deep emotions running through this book.  The characters were vivid and their pain and passion came through strongly.  The suffering the heroine endured really helped to focus on the degree even the women in the upper level of the Polite Society were helpless to the will of their fathers and husbands.  The hero despite having solid friends was also easily victimized under the manipulation of the ton's elite.  The story kept throwing twists which kept my attention riveted while I was rooting for this couple to find peace together (along with the hero's ward).  I highly recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a good historical romance with a strong helping of spicy passion.I received this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
