LADY OF INTRIGUE by Sabrina Darby is an entertaining historical romance that I found unique and racy in all the right places. While there were a couple of areas that were a little too slow in pace, overall the novel had all of the elements that I love in a Regency tale - sizzling passion, danger, loyalty and fascinating characters. Gerard is my favourite character because he has such depth of emotion and as we learn his history and what he yearns for, you cannot help but fall for him. LADY OF INTRIGUE by Sabrina Darby is thoroughly enjoyable and I look forward to more from this author.
