'4 1/2 Stars! Top Pick! Darling Beast is wondrous, magical and joyous - a read to remember.'- RT Book Reviews 'Hoyt's exquisitely nuanced characters, vividly detailed setting, and seemingly effortless and elegant writing provide the splendid material from which she fashions yet another ravishingly romantic love story.'- Booklist (starred review) on Darling Beast and the possibility of a life-and love-she never imagined possible. But while they're confined to close quarters for her safekeeping, Phoebe begins to see the tender man beneath the soldier's hard exterior. Yet he can still shoot and ride like the devil, so watching over the distracting Lady Phoebe should be no problem at all-until she's targeted by kidnappers.Ĭaught in a deadly web of deceit, James must risk life and limb to save his charge from the lowest of cads-one who would force Lady Phoebe into a loveless marriage. But because she is almost completely blind, her overprotective brother insists that she have an armed bodyguard by her side at all times-the very irritating Captain Trevillion.Ĭaptain James Trevillion is proud, brooding, and cursed with a leg injury from his service in the King's dragoons. Lady Phoebe Batten is pretty, vivacious, and yearning for a social life befitting the sister of a powerful duke.
