The Phoenix Club Book 7
Society’s most exclusive invitation... Welcome to the Phoenix Club, where London’s most audacious, disreputable, and intriguing ladies and gentlemen find scandal, redemption, and second chances. Former courtesan and pretend widow Evangeline Renshaw is happy with her reinvented life as a patroness of the Phoenix Club. She doesn’t need or want a husband or a lover…until she meets the devastatingly charming and surprisingly virtuous Lord Gregory Blakemore. He’d like to court her, but he’ll have to settle for a short, thrilling affair instead. After the death of his father and the marriage of his older brother, Lord Gregory can finally focus on what he wants: a government appointment. However, the enchanting Evie makes him desire intimacy for the first time, and now he wants her most of all. Their entanglement is supposed to be temporary, but he can’t let her go. As Gregory reveals himself to Evie, she wonders if she might finally share the truth of her past. Unfortunately, there are those who seek to ruin her carefully crafted second chance. To protect Gregory’s dreams, she must sacrifice the only love she’s ever known.
My Review:
When a precocious puppy brings this pair together, neither of their worlds will ever be the same again. We’ve finally reached the point in the series where I get the two books I’ve been impatiently waiting for since the beginning. We start with Evie’s story, and it did not disappoint. I was distressed by how little Evie was used to getting by with, particularly in terms of happiness, courtesy, or consideration. In a lot of ways, Gregory was just as self-sacrificing of his wants and desires to what the people around him determined should be his lot. Will these two be willing to risk everything to experience happiness together? I loved everything this story reveals to us about the Phoenix Club and the people that populate it. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book to find out the rest of the story.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through NetGalley.
