The Viscount Made Me Do It by Diana Quincy @avonbooks

 

Diana Quincy returns with the second novel in the Clandestine Affairs series with a steamy romance about a London bonesetter of Arab descent who is dangerously attracted to her viscount client.

A seduction that could ruin everything...

Hanna Zaydan has fought to become London’s finest bonesetter, but her darkly appealing new patient threatens to destroy everything she’s worked so hard for. With each appointment, the daughter of foreign merchants is slowly seduced by the mysterious former soldier. She’s smart enough to know Griff is after more than he’ll reveal, but whatever it is, the bonesetter’s growing desire for the man just might tempt her to give it to him.

An attraction that cannot be denied...

Rumors that he killed his own parents have followed Thomas Ellis, Viscount Griffin, practically since he was a boy. More than a decade after the tragedy, Griff receives a tip about his parents’ killer... one that takes him straight to a beautiful bonesetter. Griff is convinced Hanna is a fraud, but she stirs genuine feelings in him that he thought had perished along with his family.

Hanna has a gift for fixing fractured people, but can she also mend a broken heart? More importantly, will Griff let her?


My Review

The Viscount Made Me Do It by Diana Quincy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I did not expect the mystery that we got along with Hanna and Griff's story. But I enjoyed all of it. Seeing a woman who is not the usual heroine was great. Hanna is of Arab descent, practices a healing skill, and she is a strong woman.

Hanna Zaydan is a bonesetter. A skill she learned from her father. She enjoys helping people feel better even though her family might not be exactly thrilled about it. Her new patient seems a little skeptical about what she can do for him.

Viscount Griffin has been seeking to find out who killed his parents. A tip leads him to the bonesetter. He sees a necklace that belonged to his mother around her neck and uses his injury as a way to get close to her.

When he confesses his initial reasons for seeking her out Hanna decides to help him. They scour her father's meticulous notes to see who paid with the stolen jewelry. And of course the more time they spend together the stronger their attraction grows.


Thanks so much to the author, Avon, and Netgalley for this ARC to review.

Review: The Forgotten Home Child by Genevieve Graham

source The Forgotten Home Child by Genevieve Graham My rating: 5 of 5 stars I knew this book would deal with some heavy topics. I never expected it to leave me in tears. Once I finish a book I can usually dive right into the next without a problem. But this one haunted me. I knew it was fiction but knowing that these types of things happened in the past weighed on me as I read. Winny is ninety-seven years old, living with her granddaughter and great-grandson Jamie, the spitting image of her late husband. An old wooden trunk has them asking questions when it's contents tumble out. It's part of Winny's painful past she longed to forget. And when they ask her about the family tree she starts her story at what brought her to Canada. The book is told in parts each one starting in present day. Then the chapters move to the past told from Winny's point of view and switch back and forth to Jack's point of view. They are indentured servants who were told that they wer

The Good Lie by A.R. Torre

Six teens murdered. A suspect behind bars. A desperate father. In a case this shadowy, the truth is easy to hide. Six teenagers dead. Finally, the killer behind bars. But are the games just beginning? Psychiatrist Dr. Gwen Moore is an expert on killers. She’s spent a decade treating California’s most depraved predators and unlocking their motives—predators much like the notorious Bloody Heart serial killer, whose latest teenage victim escaped and then identified local high school teacher Randall Thompson as his captor. The case against Thompson as the Bloody Heart Killer is damning—and closed, as far as Gwen and the media are concerned. If not for one new development… Defense attorney Robert Kavin is a still-traumatized father whose own son fell prey to the BH Killer. Convinced of Thompson’s innocence, he steps in to represent him. Now Robert wants Gwen to interview the accused, create a psych profile of the killer and his victims, and help clear his client’s name. As Gwen and Robert
