Duke of Desire - Maiden Lane 12 - Elizabeth Hoyt
5.0 / 5.0
Heat 9/10
Genre HR (regency) with suspense
Warning: this book has a trigger but it is not revealed until later in the book, so it could be considered a spoiler.
In the last few books of the Maiden Lane series, there has been this underground group of men called the Lords of Chaos. These men rape, kill, debauch, etc. for “fun”. They will do anything. The H of the previous book thought he had routed them but as this book opens we discover that he was only partially successful and the group has reformed.
The h has been kidnapped, mistakenly, by the Lords of Chaos. The H rescues her by claiming her as his own prize. During his rescue attempt the h shoots him, thinking he is just another of the Lords of Chaos. Before he passes out from the wound, he marries her to protect her.
The H is a deeply tormented man. His father was a monster. His face is scarred down one side. He lives only to take down the Lords of Chaos. He is very attracted to his wife but refuses to father a child because he doesn’t trust himself to not become like his father. There is a lot of push and pull because the h wants a real marriage with children. The h has to break down her husband’s walls before she can build the man back up again.
I love this author’s writing. There was no point at which I skimmed because I was bored. I was engaged by every page. The h is smart and doesn’t back down from the H. She stands up for what she believes in and pushes for what she wants. The H is an admirable man. He is trying to do what he believes is the right thing and he’s not too proud to ask for help when he needs it.

The H’s father was a pedophile who raped his own son. There is a short description of the single event, as the H explains to the h, what happened
