Historical romance /own

The only Dare book that I had not read, but now I have caught up and there are no more.

Lily is mourning her brother. Now she is left all alone. She is also deaf and her brother always helped her out at times in society settings.

Julian was her brother´s friend and he is obsessed with finding the person who killed Leo. So it is also a murder mystery as he is trying to hunt down the killers and the why. He is also a bastard and not of their class.

He will help her find a husband. She wants him as her husband. Sparks fly, danger closes in, and he will also slowly realise that he can not live without her. Silly men, not knowing what they need.

It has been ages since I read the other books in the stud club. This is also one of her earlier series. So it took me almost 10 years to finish this series, oops, but this last one was harder to get a hold of.

A fun Dare as always

The bastard son of a nobleman, Julian Bellamy is now polished to perfection, enthralling the ton with wit and charm while clandestinely plotting to ruin the lords, ravish the ladies, and have the last laugh on a society that once spurned him. But after meeting Leo Chatwick, a decent man and founder of an elite gentlemen’s club, and Lily, Leo’s enchanting sister, Julian reconsiders his wild ways. And when Leo’s tragic murder demands that Julian hunt for justice, he vows to see the woman he secretly loves married to a man of her own class.

Lily, however, has a very different husband in mind.  She’s loved Julian forever, adores the man beneath the rakish façade, and wants to savor the delicious attraction they share—as his wife. His insistence on marrying her off only reinforces her intent to prove that he is the only man for her. Obsessed with catching a killer, Julian sinks back to the gutters of his youth, forcing Lily to reach out with a sweet, reckless passion Julian can’t resist. Can her desire for a scoundrel save them both—or will dangerous secrets threaten more than their tender love?
