The scandalous Lady Kate Seaton is suspected of working
with the group trying to reorganize the monarchy. Drake's
Rakes will do anything to prevent the lions from succeeding
including kidnapping a well know lady of the ton. Sir
Harry Lidge has always done what is needed of him. Now he
must hold the woman who haunts him against her will. What
they learn about each other and the past they both wished to
forget will change their lives forever.
Eileen Dreyer has displayed the fact that one can not always
believe what they see in a beautiful and exciting story.
Lady Kate is thought of as a scandalous female with loose
morals by the whole ton. Being talked about for your
behavior is better then the truth of your past being known
by all. Lidge believed all that was being said
about the lady he once thought he loved. After years of
doing his best not to be in her presence, his mission is to
hold her against her will until the truth of her involvement
with the Lions is discovered. The initial interaction
between the main characters shows the vile feelings shared
between them. The development of understanding that builds
through the story is well written and believable. The reader
can not help but feel for both characters.
One of the jewels within the story is the wonderful band of
supporting characters we encounter through out the story. The
men of Drake's Rakes are funny and entertaining when ever
they appear on the page. Lady Kate's band of misfit servants
have you cheering for the underdogs. For the most part,
ALWAYS A TEMPTRESS deals with the darker side of living
during a period when woman were considered property, but the
humor that Dreyer laces within this fact of life is
uplifting and witty. I enjoyed this book for the suspense,
the romance, and the humor that was beautifully mixed
together in a wonderful story.
Captain Harry Lidge has done his duty. After losing too
many good men on the battlefield, he's ready to put his
responsibilities behind him and live a life free of care.
But first he has one last mission: find out what the most
outrageous woman in London, the same woman who betrayed him
nearly a decade earlier, is concealing, before her secrets
take down the crown.
Her heart is the only thing she won't risk . . .
Surrounded by ardent admirers and a few loyal friends, Lady
Kate Seaton glides through the ton on a confection of
couture gowns and bon mots. No one suspects that beneath
her lighthearted façade Kate hides a sorrow so scandalous
she'll do anything to keep it hidden. But only when she
trusts Harry with the truth and only when he trusts her
with his heart can they stop the villains all too willing
to kill Kate to attain their ultimate goal: destroy England
