Book Review: Lord of Night by Erica Ridley

The third book in delightful series “Rogues to Riches,” author Erica Ridley introduces readers to the “Lord of Night” Simon Spaulding, a highly principled Bow Street runner who sees the world in black and white, i.e., either you are good or bad and no gray in between.

Enter the beautiful debutante Miss Dahlia Grenville whose heart is so big that she is willing to live in poverty so that her home for wayward girls will continue to provide food and shelter to her charges. And out of need, Dahlia has to become Robin Hood in more than one occasion.

That Simon and Dahlia met while trying to save a young girl seemed to be destined. That they will fall in love was also a given. But what happens when black and white meets a world of less than fifty shades of gray? Can their love survive?

A sweet and easy read, “Lord of Night” is Rated T for Teens due to some violence and some sexual content which are not graphic.

Description

Unlike proper debutantes, Miss Dahlia Grenville is secretly Robin Hood in a bonnet. Her home for wayward girls has too many dependents and not enough donations. But just as she’s about to pull off the heist of the Season, she tumbles straight into the arms of the handsome detective who has sworn to deliver Mayfair’s mysterious thief straight to the gallows.

Highly principled Bow Street runner Simon Spaulding’s world is black and white. There’s no mastermind too clever, no criminal alive who can escape the hangman. Until he realizes the delightful young lady he’s been courting is a liar and a thief. Suddenly, his career—and his heart—are in peril. How can he bring her to justice when it means losing her forever?
