Review: A Delightful Caper
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 06 8, 2014
Eliza Hunt has worked her whole life trying to fade into the background. She has a birthmark that mars the side of her face, so she doesn't like to draw attention to herself. When she attends a fete at the Westerfield Estate and ends up in the center of a caper involving stolen documents and government secrets, she certainly catches someone's eye.  A man posing as someone named Lord Darlington starts tracking her every move, and she finds the attention is not at all unwanted.The Darlington Incident is chockful of mystery, intrigue, false identities, and not to mention some super hot spankings. I love when a hero is flawed and it is almost as if the heroine saves him from himself. Renee Rose always does an exquisite job of this-- making her heroes dominant and sexy, while also giving them a flaw that makes them human.Andrews wants Eliza to stop putting herself down and come out of her shell. He wishes she could see herself the way he sees her. But Andrews also needs to take his own advice on similar matters. When something from his past comes back to haunt him, it shakes him to his core and makes him doubt the man he is. It's up to Eliza to step in to make him realize his past has nothing to do with their future.This is another home run from Ms. Rose. If you have been keeping up with her other Westerfield books: The Westerfield Affair and The Reddington Scandal- you will love this new addition. If you have not read any of them, The Darlington Incident is not a bad place to start, you can read it as a stand alone, but I don't know why you'd want to!
