GOOD DUKES WEAR BLACK is Book 3 in the Lords of
Anarchy
series by Manda Collins. The hero and heroine in GOOD
DUKES WEAR BLACK make an interesting combination—a
former soldier-turned Duke and a lady newspaper
columnist. While they might appear to be mismatched at
first glance, Trent and Ophelia develop a strong
connection and prove to be effective investigators in an
intricate and vexing mystery. As they work together in
GOOD DUKES WEAR BLACK, their assumptions about each other
are proved false, and they end up liking each other more
than they ever thought they would.
When Ophelia Dauntry's good friend and colleague Maggie
Grayson is abducted, Ophelia immediately gets to work
trying to find her and discover who is behind it. What
follows is an exquisite gothic tale of abductions, insane
asylums, and perilous encounters. Piers Hamilton, Duke of
Trent lets Ophelia drag him into the investigation
because Maggie's husband is a friend of his, and because
the Lords of Anarchy driving club he's president of is a
natural target for suspicion. Just when you think you've
got things figured out, the unexpected happens to throw a
wrench in the works. This level of unpredictability amps
up the excitement and provides a lot of thrilling
revelations. As with the previous books in the Lords of
Anarchy series, Manda Collins skillfully blends romance
and mystery.
Ophelia and Trent are prepared for the worst, but in the
end are surprised with how easily they fit together and
how much they grow to like each other. It's amusing how
Trent and Ophelia's friends realize the depth of their
feelings before they do. The sexual tension in GOOD DUKES
WEAR BLACK make for some electric and super sexy scenes.
The trust that develops between Trent and Ophelia, and
easy familiarity, makes the passion between them hotter.
Manda Collins mixes history and fiction to tell a
harrowing and dazzling tale of mystery and romance in
GOOD DUKES WEAR BLACK. Manda Collins does a marvelous job
of creating a strong, intelligent heroine while
recognizing and describing some of the dangers for women
in that bygone age. I am intrigued by some of the new
characters introduced in GOOD DUKES WEAR BLACK and will
keep an eye out for them in future stories by Manda
Collins.
A writer for the Ladies Gazette, Miss Ophelia Dauntry’s
passion is her pen. So when she sees a fellow writer
kidnapped before her eyes—and the trail of evidence leads
to the Lords of Anarchy—Ophelia vows to find her friend
and take down the notorious London driving club in her
column. But before she can
argue her case, she needs the inside scoop from its
newest leader: Piers Hamilton, the Duke of Trent.
Headstrong, handsome Trent joined the Lords of Anarchy
after a decade in the British Army. He’s made it his
business to tame the misbehavior within the driving club—
and the infuriatingly attractive Ophelia is only getting
in his way. The deeper she digs into the case, the more
she puts her own life at risk. Can Trent convince Ophelia
to trust him to seek justice…and find protection, and
passion, in his arms?
