Explanation Concering Books Wicked Intentions (Maiden Lane #1)
A man controlled by his desires . . .Infamous for his wild, sensual needs, Lazarus Huntington, Lord Caire, is searching for a savage killer in St. Giles, London's most notorious slum. Widowed Temperance Dews knows St. Giles like the back of her hand-she's spent a lifetime caring for its inhabitants at the foundling home her family established. Now that home is at risk . . .
A woman haunted by her past . . .
Caire makes a simple offer-in return for Temperance's help navigating the perilous alleys of St. Giles, he will introduce her to London's high society so that she can find a benefactor for the home. But Temperance may not be the innocent she seems, and what begins as cold calculation soon falls prey to a passion that neither can control-one that may well destroy them both.
A bargain neither could refuse.

FULL REVIEW NOW POSTEDLazarus said to Temperance:Because you are kind but not soft. Because when you touch me, the pain is bittersweet. Because you cradle a desperate secret to your bosom, like a viper in your arms, and don't let go of it even as it gnaws upon your very flesh. I want to pry that viper from your arms. To suckle upon your torn and bloody flesh. To take your pain within myself and make it mine."4.5 stars.LONDON 1737Widow Temperance Dews is rather surprised to find a visitor at herI'll probably never win another book through Goodreads' First Reads again with this review. What an anachronistic, ungrammatical, unfinished book that was. The book opens with the widow Temperance Dews wending her way through the dank and dangerous streets of St. Giles, clutching a loaded pistol. Shes on her way back to the foundling home she runs with her younger brother, returning with her maidservant and an infant they pried from the arms of a dead young mother. Along the way, she overhears a
Holy He!!, what took me so longFirst of all, this book is not for the weak in the knees when it comes to, uh, shall we say, knocking boots in its various forms. This book, well, it goes where you do NOT expect it to go. There, enough about that. Ok, one more thing, HOT. Done. Apparently, my catnip involves seriously tortured heroes. I never thought it did. In fact, most of em get on my last nerve. I may need to further examine this, but heroes like those created and tortured by the likes of

Because you cradle a desperate secret to your bosom, like a viper in your arms, and dont let go of it even as it gnaws upon your very flesh. I want to pry that viper from your arms. To suckle upon your torn and bloody flesh. To take your pain within myself and make it mine.This was an enjoyable historical romance. I read Duke of Sin first
Oh, a silver-haired hero? My oh my! As he joins my book boyfriend list, Caire only has a couple of competitors: Jem from Infernal Devices, and Rowan from the Throne of Glass series.So, we have the hottie, Caire, who is a rich tortured soul with "unusual tastes" in the bedroom. Familiar? Maybe, but Christian Grey was written AFTER this book, so you tell me who the copycat is.men... they just don't get it! Am I right?So, ye old Christian Grey has a mistress who was murdered and he wants to find
Oh my my! Lazarus Huntington, Lord Caire you dirty little devil and Temperance Dews you are quite the seductress. What a fabulously sexy story these two provided for. I LOVED every minute, every detail, every twinge of anxiety and every moment of mercy, tenderness and desire. And not only did we get the story of Lord Caire and Temperance, this author gives us the moments in the lives of two others; King Lockedheart and his maid Meg. Their story was akin to Caire and Temperances. It was simpler
Well That Was Yummy Good!I had no idea was walking into an erotic, slightly gory, good deeds type of book but I certainly did. Temperance Dews (widower) and her brother Winter Makepeace <---(his name is freaking Winter, my favorite time of the year!) run the Home for Unfortunate Infants and Foundling Children. They both took it over after their father died but now they are in dire straits as one of their benefactors died and didn't leave them any money in his will. Poor Winter is working
