Tempted By the Night
*Starred Review* Hermione Marlowe doesn’t care what the rest of the ton says; she knows the Earl of Rockhurst is no wicked rake. Hermione knows that Rockhurst doesn’t spend his nights in search of scandalous pleasures, but the only way she can prove that would be if she could actually follow him. Of course, that was an absurd plan, since Rockhurst would immediately spot her, unless Hermione were to somehow be invisible to him. Hermione knows that wishing for such a thing is just foolish, unless one just accidentally happens to have a very special ring, that, unbeknownst to its owners, is in the business of granting wishes. The second in RITA award-winner Boyle’s magic-infused Regency historical series, following His Mistress by Morning (2006), will enchant readers with its wonderfully witty mix of uniquely entertaining characters, cleverly constructed plot, and delectably sexy romance. --John Charles
