Review:

Sarah Mallory's second Historical Romance for Mills and Boon is a delicious treat for Regency fans the world over!

All of London is enchanted with the exotically beautiful Carlotta Durini. Graceful and elegant, Carlotta has many a gentleman's heart a-flutter and her aunt, Lady Broxted, has high hopes for her. Carlotta hopes to marry a titled gentleman with a substantial fortune in order to allay her parents' financial worries - and to forget the man who had broken her heart: Luke Ainslowe, the Wicked Baron.

Yet, forgetting him seems to be harder than anticipated for Luke has turned up in London again and brought back to the fore all the old feelings which Carlotta had tried so hard to bury...

Luke finds himself enchanted once more by the beautiful Carlotta. However, he's perturbed by the fact that the innocent young girl he fell in love with has now become a ruthless chit with marriage on her mind. As Carlotta accepts another man's proposal, Luke cannot help but feel that she is making a huge mistake...

Will the Wicked Baron be able to convince Carlotta that her future is by his side?

The Wicked Baron is an enchanting Regency romance featuring a wonderfully feisty heroine, a swoon-worthy hero and plenty of adventure, intrigue, passion and seduction to keep readers enthralled from start to finish! Sarah Mallory's Regency world is captivating, beautiful rendered and immensely atmospheric and I for one cannot wait for her next novel to return to this wonderful world!
