Hyacinth

The Bellamy Sisters, Book 2

By: Minerva Spencer, S.M. LaViolette

Narrated by: Gabrielle Baker

Meet the Bellamy sisters, five young women who will do anything to save their siblings and keep the wolf from the door.

Lady Hyacinth Bellamy's plans were flawless. Until fate dealt her a hand she never saw coming . . .

Romance isn't for the plain, shy, and awkward—a painful truth that Hyacinth knows better than anyone. But Hy refuses to let anything or anyone stop her from living life on her own terms. Independence—and the opportunity to secure her family's future—is finally within her grasp. But then Hy crosses paths with a meddling duke and everything changes . . .

Sylvester Derrick, Duke of Chatham, is bored. Even gaming and debauchery have lost their appeal. And he's fed up with women who can't see that he's more than a title, a collection of scars, and unusual . . . appetites. Then he spots a young card sharp who is anything but boring. Clearly, Hy is the person who can make Sylvester feel something again . . .

It's not long before Hy and Sylvester realize they have more in common—in and out of the bedroom—than they ever thought possible. But is happily ever after in the cards for a man who has been broken by love and a woman who doubts its very existence?

Contains mature themes.

interesting personalities

I really enjoyed the plot development and the surprises; also that themes. character had s disorder
either from "nature or nurture." what's not to love about a misunderstood war hero.

Too many sex scenes

Overdone with the sex scenes..Really could not care about these characters. It was really kind of gross.. I've listened to hundreds of romance novels, I don't give bad reviews, but this was pretty bad.
