Publishers Weekly has given His Wicked Reputation one of its rare starred reviews!! It says in part:
Hunter spins the intrigues of an enterprising bastard son and a resourceful artist to delightful effect in this excellent launch of the Wicked series of Regency romances. . . Characters, such as the eccentric sisters who befriend Eva and Rebecca, round out an entertaining cast, and the romance and suspense are balanced perfectly.
How exciting! RT Book Reviews has given His Wicked Reputation 4 1/2 stars! Here is part of the review:
Hunter combines desire with mystery and sensuality with adventure, bringing readers the kind of romance that makes their hearts soar. Here she pits a sexy hero against an independent spinster, mixes in mystery, humor and wonderful banter, and gifts readers with a keeper.
I am gearing up in preparation for its release on March 3. There will be giveaways here and on my Facebook page, a Twitter chat the evening of the release date and lots of other events and activities. To be kept informed sign up for my newsletter.
