When the hero noticed a piece of jewelry that he knows belonged to his late mother was on the heroine's body, he wanted answers. Injured from war, the hero went to the heroine, a bonesetter, to help with his pain but also feeling attracted to the heroine. The heroine is also attracted to the hero, but knows that their differences in social standing will be dangerous to her reputation. Add along the mysterious murder of the hero's parents, this book deals with a strong couple who is facing obstacles to their happy ending. I enjoyed reading this Diana Quincy book. This historical romance book can stand alone but for a clear image of some secondary characters in this book, the first book of the Clandestine Affairs series should be read. Focusing on flawed but strong characters, I enjoyed the main couple focused on this book. Both characters showed vulnerability and strength throughout the book, and I found how they faced everything together and individually an entertaining read. There were some distinctive secondary characters that were supportive of the couple and there were some others who I wouldn't mind shaking them to their senses, which also included the hero until a pivotal point of the book. The author's writing style is exclusive and I enjoyed the story's vibe. Lastly, it was interesting to learn more about an occupation that wasn't approved in the medical field during this historical period. Overall, this book is an enjoyable read and I look forward to reading more Diana Quincy books in the future. **Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy. All opinions and thoughts in the review are my own.** I received an ARC of this book to read through Edelweiss+. All opinions are my own. The Viscount Made Me Do It is the second book in Diana Quincy’s delightful Clandestine Affairs series. It can be read as a stand-alone. Hanna Zayden has a calling and an ambition to be the best bonesetter in London, but her family wants her to marry a nice Arab boy, be a wife and mother, and the medical establishment thinks that all bonesetters are quacks and should be run out of business. Thomas Ellis, Viscount Griffin, has spent the last fifteen years under the shadow of his parent's murder. Many believe that he was responsible, even though he was only 15 years old at the time. Searching for clues as to the murderer, Griff sees Hanna in a coffee shop, and she is wearing the necklace that his mother was wearing when she died. Under an alias, Griff uses his injured shoulder and arm as an excuse to get close to Hanna and to find out where she got the necklace from. He is shocked and amazed when she heals the injuries that any number of doctors were unable to treat. When his ruse is revealed, he and Hanna work together to solve the mystery, growing closer to each other but knowing that a relationship between their different stations is impossible. I enjoyed reading this book immensely, with its well-written characters, intriguing mystery, a nasty villain and the perfect balance of angst and steam. Another thing I loved about this book is Griff’s respect for Hanna. He does not offer her carte blanche, which often happens in books where the hero and heroine are from different social classes.

HTML: Diana Quincy returns with the second novel in the Clandestine Affairs series with a steamy romance about a London bonesetter of Arab descent who is dangerously attracted to her viscount client.
Hanna Zaydan has fought to become London's finest bonesetter, but her darkly appealing new patient threatens to destroy everything she's worked so hard for. With each appointment, the daughter of foreign merchants is slowly seduced by the mysterious former soldier. She's smart enough to know Griff is after more than he'll reveal, but whatever it is, the bonesetter's growing desire for the man just might tempt her to give it to him. An attraction that cannot be denied... Rumors that he killed his own parents have followed Thomas Ellis, Viscount Griffin, practically since he was a boy. More than a decade after the tragedy, Griff receives a tip about his parents' killer... one that takes him straight to a beautiful bonesetter. Griff is convinced Hanna is a fraud, but she stirs genuine feelings in him that he thought had perished along with his family. Hanna has a gift for fixing fractured people, but can she also mend a broken heart? More importantly, will Griff let her? .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

If you're a Historical Romance fan, you won't want to miss this one! It's got all the humor, all the drama, all the suspense, and all the heart you could hope for and then some! You'll laugh as a young dandy is taught a lesson about wasting a lady's time, and when the title of the book comes into play in the story! You'll cry at the outrage of how family can treat family. You'll blush at a few encounters, while still knowing in your heart of hearts that they are meant to be. You'll gasp as certain realizations are reached, hold you breath as things take a sharp turn towards danger, and ponder the eventual outcome of it all while you turn the pages. A great read with a great leading pair that you won't soon forget!
