The Bachelor Betrayal

I think about 200 pages could have been eliminated from this book and it would not be missing anything. It was very wordy, sometimes overblown and repetitive. Lots of great characters that complimented each other. The H and h were entertaining, even if the h was not exactly written for this time period. There were a lot of words that would not have been used during this era; the author did not do enough research it seems. Entertaining despite all that, if long winded.

Can a story that begins with murder end with happily ever after?

Lady Kaitlyn Montrose and Marcus Black, Earl of Westwood are searching for the same nefarious person. The Chameleon, an assassin, murdered Kaitlyn’s uncle and was responsible for the death of Marcus’s brother. They seek vengeance. Each has the ability to solve the riddle and capture the Chameleon. That is, if they’d stay out of each other’s way. Working together might not be a bad idea.

What a ride! This one will keep you turning pages from start to finish. The story has action, murder, espionage, treachery, and a sizzling romance. Surprises and secrets pop up throughout the story. The identity of the villains is a doozie. Marcus and Kaitlyn are great together, when they aren’t bumping heads. What man wouldn’t want a woman who is smart, beautiful, and trained to use weapons by a master? Both are intelligent, independent and persistent (stubborn). A well-written story with awesome characters; I enjoyed it, and I loved the epilogue.

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. My review is voluntary.
