I've Been Waiting For This!

Night of the Scoundrel (Dukes of Dover #3.5) by Kelly Bowen
4 stars

I have read every one of Kelly Bowen's books and have been eagerly awaiting this book, as King is featured in many of her previous historical romance novels.  King is an enigmatic man who deals in underground businesses and has a traumatic backstory.  Adeline mysteriously shows up in London with a troubled history of her own.  First of all, this is a novella which is extremely disappointing.  These characters definitely deserved a longer, more fleshed-out story with an added 150 pages.  Regardless of length, though, Kelly Bowen once again has managed to create two characters that I adore while creating a heart-stopping romance.  She also seamlessly incorporated characters from her other books.  I still enjoyed this book, while wishing (with all of my heart) that she had made this a full-length novel.  I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
