The strength of this book lies in the characterizations not only of Luke and Catherine, but also of many other people. Can they keep themselves safe? Can they be happy? His mysterious origins, and both Luke and Catherine begin to understand the nature of love and of trust and fidelity, it seems their lives might be in danger. We discover who Catherine wants killed and why, as Luke starts to learn more about He can't get too close to her, partly because of Frannie, but also because he is shortly going to have to commit murder for her and knows that will mean the death of his soul. The two women are very different, yet there's something about Catherine that draws Luke. Luke finds himself spending a great deal of time with Catherine and comparing her to Frannie. When Lady Catherine Mabry, daughter of a Duke, comes to Lucien to ask him to carry out a murder for her, they establish an unusual wager: Catherine will teach Frannie how to be a Countess, then Lucien/Luke will kill the mystery person for her.
she doesn't know how to behave as a Countess. The inconvenience of Lucien Langdon's title means that Frannie feels she's not able to marry him The plot isn't particularly complex: the Earl of Claybourne, a boy who lived as a thief on the streets of London as a youth before being found by his grandfather after killing a man who turned out to be his uncle, wants to marry his childhood love, Frannie, who worked in their thieving gang.
ItĬontains elements that most other historical romances set in Victorian times do - nobility, country estates, seedy parts of London, etc. In Bed with the Devil, despite the rather corny title (which, for once, actually reflects the contents of the book), is a very good story. Most are fairly mediocre with little characterization and a scanty plot Nothing unusual here dozens of books that look just like this one are published every month. Another paperback with a picture of a woman whose clothes appear to be falling off, a manly man whose clothes have already fallen off, author's name and title written in a curly font, pastel background colors and a cheesy title. Book review: Lorraine Heath's *In Bed with the Devil*
