On the surface, Violet Waterfield is a put-together,
intelligent and respectable widow. Associated with Sebastian
Melhuer, a notorious rake who intrigues minds with his
scientific theories during the day and ravishes women by
night, Violet knows that a secret will forever bind them
together. However, what she doesn't realize is that
Sebastian wants out. He doesn't want others to believe that
the work he is presenting is his. The truth is, he is just a
front. Violet is the one who does all the work. However,
when Sebastian tries to end it and expose the secret, it
doesn't go as planned.
Futhermore, Violet is completely oblivious to the fact that
Sebastian is in love with her. Even when he admits his
emotions, she doesn't believe in them. This is largely due
to the fact that Violet cannot bare to be touched by another
person. But Sebastian doesn't give up that easily. When he
decides to court her, this is where the magic of this story
truly lies.
Courtney Milan has made quite a name for herself as one of
the most loved Historical Romance authors of our time.
Though THE COUNTESS CONSPIRACY started out slow for me, the
development of events eventually catches a wave and manages
to sweep you off your feet. As you learn more about Violet
and her vulnerabilities, readers discover that she isn't
completely unfeeling after her husband's death.
Romantic is the best word for me to describe THE COUNTESS
CONSPIRACY. Milan returns to what Romance is all about and
takes the simple, necessary steps of seduction to make
readers fall in love, one by one.
Sebastian Malheur is the most dangerous sort of rake: an
educated one. When he’s not scandalizing ladies in the
bedchamber, he’s outraging proper society with his
scientific theories. He’s desired, reviled, acclaimed, and
despised—and he laughs through it all.
Violet Waterfield, the widowed Countess of Cambury, on the
other hand, is entirely respectable, and she’d like to stay
that way. But Violet has a secret that is beyond ruinous,
one that ties her irrevocably to England’s most infamous
scoundrel: Sebastian’s theories aren’t his. They’re hers.
So when Sebastian threatens to dissolve their years-long
conspiracy, she’ll do anything to save their
partnership...even if it means opening her vulnerable heart
to the rake who could destroy it for good
