Undressed With The Marquess

Book 3 in the Lost Lords of London Series

For a heartbroken woman and a daring thief, the most tempting proposal comes after marriage in the unforgettable final Lost Lords of London novel.

Long ago, Dare Grey disappeared from privilege to help the downtrodden. Abandoning his future as a nobleman, he instead came of age as the most skilled—and wanted—thief in East London. But when the Robin Hood of the Rookeries is captured, his influential grandfather offers him a choice: face his heritage…or the gallows. And to step into his rightful role as marquess, Dare must find a wife.

Little do they know, he already has.

Marrying Dare rescued young Temperance Swift from a brutal life. Yet his commitments were elsewhere, and Temperance would not continue in the charade of a relationship that surely would end with her husband in Newgate Prison. It broke her heart to leave the righteous bandit, but she established a new life for herself as a seamstress. One who respected and obeyed the law and kept herself safe—if lonely.

But Dare finds her and offers to resume their role as husband and wife, and this time it will yield a fortune. A fortune that could be used to help the disadvantaged, without resorting to ever-more-daring thefts…

Once they’re ensconced in the comfortable family fold of Mayfair, the romance they thought ended years ago stirs again. But when every kiss is shadowed by the mistakes of the past, and a haunting secret Temperance bears, will love be enough to save them from such an uncertain fate?

Dark and Delicious

... a powerful second chance romance, that has true angst, heartbreak, sibling/family discourse and of course the love story, as the rogue Dare is plucked out of Newgate Prison and certain death, to take his rightful place in polite society.

The Lost Lord’s has taken Christi’s books out of the ballrooms of Mayfair and into the slums of London. The hero in this latest Caldwell love story isn’t a typical hero, he is a rough and tumble thief, and makes no excuse about his thieving...Caldwell writes gritty and dangerous Dare with stark realism. He isn’t the usual romantic hero, he is brash and unapologetic...Dare wasn’t a hero I immediately liked, because he isn’t supposed to be. But as the story progressed he has the depth of character that is revealed who he was at heart, and why he made the choices he did. The heroine Temperance Swift, might live in the London slums surrounded by open sewage, thievery, and vice, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have high moral standards. Moral standards that in the book put her in opposition with her heart. She is strong and has carved out a life for herself, despite her past.
It’s well worth the read and I loved that Caldwell stretched her writing talents and through her writing made me really fall for Dare.

Beautiful Story

This book has a little of everything. A lost Lord that ran away..And then he was saved...But there is so much more in the story...The story was painful at times, and heart breaking. But in the end it was glorious...Temperance was a tremendous heroine and I loved her so much. Strong and so loving ...Dare had a will of his own and I just can't say how wonderful he was at the end. There are times he will annoy but in the end he comes around beautifully... Just a beautifully touching story.
