She proposes marriage: we’d suit well, and you need my dowry.

Now that Lucien has the money, it is time for him to have the luuuuuv ™.Īmelia has figured out that he was in dire straits for years, and sneaks into his house at three in the morning, the night after he has imbibed his weight in liquor celebrating the windfall that put his family firmly on the side of fortune. Without telling anyone about his circumstances beyond his mother and their solicitor/banker/investement wizard, Lucien manages to invest and profit enough to bring his family from the deep scaret to the solid black – or in this case, the purple. Lucien, quite the honorable gentleman, has spent many years within Amelia’s circle of acquaintance, and many more trying to dig his family out of a mountain of debt left by his wastrel of a father. Now Amelia is left in London after her sister makes a lovely match with some lord of somethingorother, and she’s set her sights on Lucien Ashford, Viscount Calverton. Amelia and her sister Amanda were very young, about to make their debuts within a few years, and were more annoying than adorable if I recall. On A Wicked Dawn, and by the way, the title has nothing to do with the plot, not that romance titles do, is the story of Amelia Cynster, one of a set of female twins who I first encountered when I read Devil and Honoria’s story, Devil’s Bride. I also suspect that is exactly what has happened here.

I suspect that authors who get themselves going on series end up with bloated family trees of various relatives having made successful love/lust matches and eventually, the author might run out of ideas of what to do with this lustful bunch. I’m usually of the latter party, but with this novel, I find myself a bit stuck, but not because I’ve enjoyed it so much. Either you love the series or you could chuck it on the pile of books easily read, easily forgotten.
