Publisher Description
“Tantalizing love scenes, enthusiastically detailed portrayals of England's Regency-era legal system, and witty comradely repartee.” —Publishers Weekly
Courting Danger . . .
Lady Evelyn Darlington’s first love was the law. But since a woman scholar meets nothing but ridicule from men, she has given up and chosen a future husband. Randolph seems adequate for the task: to provide intelligent conversation and not annoy her too much. Of course, before they can be engaged, she’ll have to do something about the murder charge hanging over his head. If only London's top barrister wasn't Jack Harding, object of all her unattainable girlhood fantasies . . .
And Seducing Scandal . . .
Jack Harding remembers Evelyn well--but the idea that the gorgeous woman standing before him is little Evie, the professor's daughter, is incredible. He knows better than to enter a business relationship when he wants to pursue pleasure. Yet however desirable she is now, Evie is still Evie—stubborn, smart, and never willing to take no for an answer. Even though proving her fiancé’s innocence might just cost her her own . . .
“Lively, engaging . . . Gabrielle’s barristers will have you swooning!” —Sabrina Jeffries, New York Times–bestselling author of Undercover Duke
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Former attorney Gabrielle (Lady of Scandal) launches a Regency series with legal backbone. Bluestocking Lady Evelyn Darlington's marital plans go awry when her scholarly intended, Randolph Sheldon, is suspected of murder after fleeing the scene of a courtesan's brutal slaying. Forced to seek help from the successful barrister Jack Harding, Evelyn insists on taking part in his investigation of the crime and soon becomes uncomfortably attracted to Jack. Along with well-matched lovers, Gabrielle provides an amusing cast of suspects and supporting characters, including the three bachelor barristers who share Harding's legal chambers and will presumably fill out the series. While the romance is more strongly written than the mystery, and Harding, despite his protestations, admires Evelyn's body more than her intellect, the tale is bolstered by tantalizing love scenes, enthusiastically detailed portrayals of England's Regency-era legal system, and witty comradely repartee.
Customer Reviews
Really liked this book
I’m surprised how much I really liked this book. It had action, drama, intrigue, romance and a little mystery.
In The Barrister's Chambers
This was the third Barrister book I read. I loved all three of them. I can only hope since there were 4 barristers together, that there will be a fourth book.
I love the characters, plots and emotions portrayed. I am an avid reader and wish Tina Gabrielle had numerous books written already. I am anxiously awaiting her next book.
