I love a good historical with a strong heroine and this is what you get in this story, Claire Carlingford is Doctor not common in 1888 and she is sassy, witty and I loved her she was smart and knew what was going on in life, bring in Ravi Howick lawyer extraordinaire, a man who has had to push to get where he is today because he is half Indian, his father was an Earl and his mother an Indian Princess, put these two together and you have an exciting, sensual story that will keep you turning the pages, as they work together.
Claire is working hard as a doctor but her father wants her to take over the Carlingford company and soon, this is something that she does not want to do but when her father is arrested for a gambling scam she jumps into action to prove his innocence, she needs a new lawyer and goes to a prestigious firm and is sent in to meet Mr Howick and she is most impressed with him and they decide that working together maybe a good idea but she will need to keep her sensual feelings to herself.
Ravi has always wanted his own practice and when he is asked to work for the Carlingford’s he strikes a deal that will finally get him what he wants, but he has other pressures as well concerning is brother who is a lord, will Claire be the answer to that one as well. He has never felt this way about a woman before but there are a lot of hurdles to cross if they are to be a loving couple, but as they work to prove her father innocent the spark between them gets stronger and one kiss needs to be more.
This story is filled with witty banter and very strong sensual spark that I loved, it is fast paced and the ending was so thrilling as a few very well kept secrets were revealed and a rescue was needed, both Ravi and Claire were different in this time in history but both were strong enough to conquer what other people thought, I loved that Claire and Ravi worked in the hope that one day there would a world where everyone is equal regardless of their colour or who they loved. I loved catching up with Josephine and also hearing about Marie in this story, thank you MS Dahlia for a fabulous story and series, I do highly recommend this one.
