A Dazzling Charade

Lady Lily Walters played her part to perfection. At glittering balls and fashionable soirees, her low-cut gowns and empty chatter kept everyone from guessing the truth -- that this sensuous flirt was really a spy. Willingly, she risked her life to pass on vital secrets only she could divulge. But when the dangerously attractive Duke of Remmington took her in his arms, she found herself wishing that just once she could drop her masquerade and show him the woman she really was....

A Dangerous Desire

To Remmington, a man whose secrets and scars ran deep, Lady Lily was one more beautiful woman to be enjoyed and discarded...until he found her running in terror through the London streets. Suddenly he knew that there was more to this alluring woman than she let on. He didn't know why her life was in danger; he only knew that he had to protect her. Yet when he forced her to take shelter in his town house, he would compromise her honor and do something far worse -- unleash their passion in a world of war and intrigue, where the greatest danger of all was in daring to love.

我的評比:4葉
雷明頓公爵,有過一段不幸的婚姻,龐大的家產,數不清投懷送抱的女性以及無數的秘密。是所有名媛淑女又愛又怕的對象--既渴望成為公爵夫人,又擔心只怕是場空。
雷明頓心裡清楚這些女人對他的想法。對他來說,同樣的錯誤不會犯二次。他只要享受漂亮的女伴,但不想有任何認真的關係。這回他盯上的是有名的花瓶 Lady Lillian Walters。大家都知道Lady Lillian有著漂亮的臉蛋,令人讚嘆的身材,和不怎麼聰明的腦袋,應該是個可以好聚好散的對象。只是他怎麼也想不到,這個花瓶的脾氣還挺大的,而且那雙無邪大眼下隱藏的秘密,是他怎麼也想不到的。
Lily狂奔在深夜倫敦的街道上。戴著面具的歹徒闖入她家中要置她於死地。她得找到她父親,卻沒想到撞入雷明頓的懷裡,還被迫藏身在他的豪宅內。她必須守住她的秘密,但面對精明的雷明頓,她不確定她還能偽裝多久。而暗戀他許久的她,更不確定是否能克制住那奔騰的情感。
雷明頓不明白為何有人想要Lily的性命,只知道他得保護她。直到他知道她的秘密,他對她的佩服及愛慕讓他無法從她身邊離去--即使他知道他才是對她最危險的人。面對她對他無私的關愛,他心中的冰塊漸漸融化,只是他不肯定他是否能再次信任女人,特別是像Lily這樣美麗的女人。
Lily一直在等待卸下她的偽裝的時機。她不希望在雷明頓的心中,她永遠只是個漂亮的花瓶。但是對的時機始終沒有出現,反而是她不停的將雷明頓拉入危險之中。面對雷明頓越來越疏離的態度,她只希望她沒有做錯選擇...
:( 整體來說,這本書的節奏滿明快的。沒有太多拖拖拉拉的劇情(當然頁數少也不能太拖戲),除了女主角參加埃及文化研究學會的那部分我覺得有點多餘。幾個角色的安排也不會太老套。雖然之前看過很多類似的體材的作品,但是看起來不會覺得了無新意。其中有些安排還真是讓人想大笑(特別是Lily趕跑雷明頓的前床伴的那一幕,我必須說作者安排的還滿有創意的 ) 喜歡這類型的同學可以看看囉
