Once burned twice shy… but when old flames come together…passion reignites...
The Devil’s Match is the fourth and final book in Victoria Vane’s The Devil DeVere
series and such a fitting end to Vic and Diana’s story. It's true what they say about "opposites attract" because never have two
people been so poorly suited, and yet, so perfectly matched!
When burned once…
Arriving
in London as her goddaughter's chaperone, Baroness Diana
Palmerston-Wriothesley wants to avoid her erstwhile lover at all costs.
Once nearly consumed by passion, four years has reduced the former
inferno to bitterness and ashes.
By an old flame...
A world-weary master of seduction, Ludovic "The Devil" DeVere is bored
with his chosen life of debauchery. When Diana's charge disappears, she
is forced to seek help from the devil's lair, and their mutual desire
reignites with undeniable ferocity.
Fire is best fought with fire…
While
DeVere is hell-bent to have her back for keeps, Diana is equally
determined to bring him to his knees…by acquiring some sensual secrets
of her own.
I can’t even begin to tell you how much I
enjoyed this story! Vic and Diana are fabulous together, their banter,
the sexual tension… loved it! And it was such a treat to spend time with
Ned and Phoebe, and Hew and Vesta, while getting even deeper into the
very hearts and minds of Vic and Diana.
One of the things I most
love about these stories is that Victoria Vane provides just enough
period detail to make her readers feel like we’re actually there, not
merely reading a story, but living it. A part of it. Many authors write
historical romance, but
not many do it as well as this author
does. And can I just mention, this book has one of the steamiest, most
sensual and sexually intimate scenes I’ve read. Beautiful and very, very
hot.
The bottom line: Over the course of the series I’ve come to
adore Vic and Diana, though at times I wasn’t sure how that could
possibly happen. Silly me, I should have never doubted Ms. Vane’s
ability to weave a tale sure to draw me in and hold on tight, right to
the very end.
The Devil’s Match is a funny, heartwarming,
passionate ‘end’ to Vic and Diana’s story, and though I was left with a
smile on my face, I’m also a bit sad that their tale is complete!
4.5/5 stars
