When the baron Cyril Farquharson, rich but unappealing in the extreme, forces his attentions on Madeline, her mother could not be happier and she could not be more repulsed. When this evil man traps her in an uncompromising situation, another mysterious man protects her but also threatens her reputation --- he is known as the Wicked Earl. Torn between two men, which one is more wicked? Will she love either of them or will she pay with her life?
Margaret McPhee's descriptions of the villain are fantastic....really creepy and disgusting and made me think of Charles Dickens, Uriah Heep and worse! Hissing, sneaky, slithering, slimy and just downright wicked! The heroine is both innocent and wise, reticent and spunky. Madeline knows how to protect herself one way or another. Her choices and dilemmas create a well-rounded character beyond the reader's expectation. Margaret McPhee's characterization breathes suspense in every moment.
From the opening scene, the plot drives the romance forward while creating suspense like a serial novel. One place in the novel had a quick suspenseful scene change that could have used a sentence or two more preparation but otherwise Margaret McPhee delights with fast-paced action, tense suspense filled scenes, and a fine mixture of scene changes to heighten suspense and create vivid characters.
Readers will enjoy the scene of the heroine reading Jane Austen and thinking of Mr. Darcy as well as having the scene placed in a crucial turning point in the romance. In addition, King Arthur fans will enjoy the heroine's musings on Tintagel Castle where Uther seduced Ygraine under her husband's eye and where Arthur was conceived. Setting one of the final scenes there was a masterstroke --- just enough parallels to create intrigue but enough variation to heighten the expected suspense. I just loved the way she played this scene! The first two-thirds of this romance were so well-written and suspenseful that I imagined the last third and ending could only be anti-climatic. Not at all! Even the last line tantalizes!
