Book two in the Maiden Lane series finds Lady Hero Batten engaged to the staid, reliable, and dull Marquis of Mandeville. They appear perfect for each other until she becomes friends with his younger brother, Griffin Remmington, Lord Reading. Griffin escorts her to a house for orphans that she is sponsoring in the dangerous St. Giles neighborhood, the same part of town where he is running an illegal gin still. Hero can't believe that she's starting to fall for such a cad, but she soon discovers that Griffin and his brother both have secrets. This was another lovely, well-written book by Hoyt, one of the best authors in the historical romance genre, in my opinion. Both lead and secondary characters were unique and easy to imagine, and the action scenes were well done. I'll be reading the next in the series. 382 pages.
