For someone will do whatever it takes to destroy Conlan . . . and anyone he dares to love.

MY THOUGHTS
LOVED IT
Although this is the second book in a trilogy, I really think it can stand alone. I had no problem getting into the story and was enchanted right from the start. I must admit that when someone is kissed by another person who is wearing a mask, I know where this story is going. Seriously, this can only work in a historical romance. So when Anna is kissed by Conlan, you can only know that there is going to a lot of hotness to follow. The plot works on a lot of levels with a bit of mystery and thrills built in. This one will definitely keep you warm on a cold winter night.

Fact One: Laurel McKee is none other than an author whose books I already read, Amanda McCabe.
Fact Two: “Duchess of Sin” is the second book of a trilogy . . . therefore, must go to the bookstore and get the first book of the series, “Countess of Scandal”. (collect all the books of a series before reading them consecutively)
