WOW this one is packed with so much action as well as a sensual romance, fabulous characters and I loved it from page one, I have been looking forward to another Maddison Michaels story for a while now and this one did not disappoint, wonderfully written it brings to life The Bastard of Baker Street Sebastian Colver and the beautiful strong Lady Olivia Haliford in a must read story that will have you on the edge of your seat at times, can two people from totally different backgrounds find love and happiness?

Lady Olivia (Livie) a Duke’s daughter is fed up with the way the bachelors of the world are getting away with literally murder at times and she and her friends Kat and Etta are determined to make it change by producing, anonymously, a gazette and dish out all the dirt on some of these bachelors to warn the woman of England, but first they need financial backing and Livie knows just the person to ask, Sebastian Colver the bastard of Baker Street.

Sebastian is feared throughout London as a man to stay away from leader of the baker street gang he has made a name for himself as well as a fortune and mixes with the ton these days, he is stunned when the beautiful lady Olivia makes her entrance into his office to request help with her gazette, she is not afraid of him at all where most people are and he agrees to help as a silent partner if she too will help him with sponsoring his sister into society, he has no clue that his life will change so much when his heart is in danger of falling for Livie.

This story is just so good I loved the pull that Livie and Sebastian had from their first meeting, you could almost feel the heat between them, they both feel strongly about the way woman are treated and even though Sebastian is a feared man I loved him so much he has a heart of gold where needed but believe me he can be very fierce as well and Livie my word what a strong beautiful caring woman she is and not afraid to stand up for what she feels. There is lots of danger in this one as the bad guys are after Sebastian and Livie and it had me holding my breath at times.

To see them find their much deserved HEA was sigh worthy after all they have been through, this is one that I would highly recommend to any lover of historical romance with a big side of suspense thrown in and I look forward to the next one in this series, there are so many fabulous characters in this one I look forward to getting to know them.

My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for my copy to read and review
