BLURB:
A royal prince exiled from his country long ago, Theo St. George forged a new life in London's dark and seedy underworld. As a coldhearted mercenary, he's willing to do anything for a price. But when he accepts a position as bodyguard to a duke in danger, he finds his true opponent in the nobleman's prim and icy sister.
Pamela, Lady Deering, has been forced to accept her brother's generosity after the death of her wastrel husband. One of society's irreproachable pillars, the last thing she needs is to dally with a sinfully handsome bodyguard called Beast. Neither her battered heart nor her good reputation can survive yet another rogue. So why can't she resist him?
Living beneath the same roof, Theo and Pamela are destined to clash. And kiss. And clash some more. But surrendering to their fiery passion has greater consequences than either of them realize. Because when desire turns to love, two hearts and a kingdom are at risk.
Heat level: Scorching hot! Don't say you weren't warned.
MY REVIEW:
DISCLAIMER: I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Her Dangerous Beast is the first book I have read by Scarlett Scott and it certainly won’t be my last.
I absolutely loved this story! Theo and Pamela’s love story was so utterly beautiful and I loved how they couldn’t stay away from each other, no matter how hard they tried, and that through their time together they were able to heal from their pasts and learn to love and accept love.
Theo’s backstory is tragic. And I fell hard for him while reading this story! Nothing is shown, but he was tortured before his exile and it’s something no one should have to go through. Because of his past, he’s closed himself off to others but when he meets Pamela, he can’t stay away. She makes him want to live and love again.
Pamela is a widow living with her brother, the duke, and a guardian over their ward, Virtue, she’s content to live out her days as a single woman. Until she starts spending time with Theo and realizing that it might just be okay for her to love another.
The heat level warning in the blurb is no joke. This story is spicy!! I just loved how they couldn’t get enough of each other!
If you love steamy historical romance, bodyguard romance, books where the main characters are royalty, tortured heroes, forbidden romance, and/or suspense you definitely need to read this book!
This is the second book in the Rogue’s Guild series. I believe you can read this book without having to read the first book in the series (I did!), but based on what happens in this book and the blurb for the first book, some of the events may overlap between the two books as it is the Duke’s story. So you’ll definitely want to go back and read the first one after reading this one! (Or before, your preference!) It is available in KU!
