Devil’s Bargain

Another Gem from Jade Lee — A super sexy book from a talented writer. You may dislike the viscount but you will understand him. Lynette and Adrian are both trying to save themselves from a disastrous life. Characterization is spot-on. Side characters are well drawn. We are as intrigued as Lynette is in the unfolding of the story. A definite page turner. – La Deetda Reads

5 stars – Brilliant! — I absolutely loved reading this. I love regency romances but this was different in that the hero wasn’t your usual rich, arrogant & titled nobleman. He was a broke nobleman trying to turn his fortunes round in a most unusual manner and the heroine was very unusual as well. This book looks more at the darker side of the regency period and I found myself rooting for the hero and heroine. Knowing that they’ll end up together but not seeing how as everything seemed to be set against them. Needless to say I was in tears at the end of the book when things did work out for them. – Joyce, Amazon Reviewer

5 stars — Ms. Lee has penned a must-read of a series with her “Regency Rags-to-Riches” novels, and DEVIL’S BARGAIN was just plain fun. And yet, amongst the witty plot, engaging hero and heroine, I found a storyline that I could easily see happening in the Regency era, with its social mores and emotionally societal restrictions. There’s a ring of truth in the plight of Lynette, who endures a very realistic horror of her own when she agrees to be “sold” into upper-crust matrimony. How she deals with her decision, how she rises above the unfortunate aspects of her choice and remakes herself, creates the kind of romance that’s a real page-turner. – Valyrian, Goodreads Review

5 stars — Loved it loved it loved it. Stayed up all night and read it in one go. If you love your Historical Romances with amazing love scenes but need a book that is amazingly written as well which will pull at your emotions, This is it. Absolutely brilliant – Sarka, Goodreads review
