Devil's Honor
Justin Trevelyan, the Duke of Marlow, also known as the Devil of Dartmoor, is astonished to learn he has inherited guardianship of the three Darracott sisters along with his title.  Isabel Darracott wants nothing to do with the self proclaimed rogue, and her first meeting with the Duke does nothing to change her mind.  However, the longer Justin is around the Darracotts the less he wants to follow his usual pattern of carousing.  In time, Isabel begins to see that the Duke is actually an honorable man beneath his bravado, and realizes he is a man worth having.  Devil's Honor is a quick-paced, fun-filled story full of vivid, strong-willed characters.  Ms. Dier gives the reader their money's worth, and wrings the heart with her secondary characters. We are fortunate that a sequel is planned for the future.  The only thing that bothered me about this story was Ms. Dier's use of titles.  Her characters tended to refer to each other as Duke instead of Your Grace.  This may be a nit-picky point of etiquette, but it startled me every time it was done.  Other than this, Devil's Honor is a wonderful read with beautiful characterizations.  Fabulous job, Ms. Dier!Ms. Dier's characterizations give Devil's Honor a romantic zing!  Once again, Ms. Dier does not disappoint.  Her heroes are simply dashing!  Get out the drool buckets ladies, Ms. Dier's men will make you salivate!  Roguish scamps, spunky women, and endearing secondary characters are trademark Debra Dier, and this book is full of them!Gloria Lower  --Copyright © 1998 Literary Times, Inc.
