Dylan Amesbury, Marquess of Milton, is known as the Marquess of Menace. Menace is one of the partners in the Den of Sins gaming hall. The behavior responsible for his nickname is probably in response to the dejection he felt most of his life. His believes his is a failure. After all he has been told so all his life. Eliza Carrington, the eldest of four sisters, has been responsible for the well-being of the family since the death of their mother and disappearance of their shipping magnate father. She is independent, confident, and tough. She wants adventure, not marriage. In order to keep her safe and out of the clutches of the dastardly Mr. Tabor, she and Dylan agree to marry. This does not sound like a match made in Heaven, but stranger things have happened. Will they have a distant marriage of convenience or will they find a happy partnership and love? They may be surprised! Eliza and Dylan have a wonderful story. There is a mystery surrounding the shipping business running through the series. There are a number of questions: Where is the girls’ father? Who is behind the theft from the shipping company? Who is the Scot seen at the docks with Dishonor? Who is Dishonor, and what happened to him? The suspense is building. I look forward to the next story. A good read. I recommend it. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

This wasn’t a bad story. It’s the second of four in this part of a larger series. However, it is not stand-alone book. If you don’t read the first book you won’t know what is going on in this book and this one leaves just as many questions unanswered. There isn’t an ending. You will have to read the next two books in order for the conclusion. To me this is annoying and you’re paying four times for one complete story. I don’t know if I will continue the series or not.
