A Bespectacled Bluestocking, A Clueless Rake and a mad dash to Gretna Green
Miss Emily Goodnight – who cannot see a thing without her blasted spectacles – is raising the art of meddling to new heights. Why leave her future in the hands of fate when she’s perfectly capable of managing it herself?
The Earl of Blakely, London’s most unattainable bachelor, finds Miss Goodnight’s schemes nearly as intriguing as the curves hidden beneath her frumpy gowns. Secure in his independence, he's focussed on one thing only: evading this father's manipulating ways.
Hell’s Bell Indeed – What with all the cheating at parlor games, trysts in dark closets, and cases of mistaken identity, complications arise. Because fate has limits. And when it comes to love and the secrets of the past, there’s only so much twisting one English Miss can get away with…
Hell’s Bell is the third book in the Devil’s Debutantes Series but can also be read as a standalone novel. It was nominated for Best Historical Short Novel as a finalist in RWA's Distinguished 2019 Rita © Awards.
Hell’s Belle is book three in the Devilish Debutantes Series by Annabelle Anders. As the series progresses, each book gets better and better. This story has such depth to it. The characters are believable and vulnerable. Miss Emily Goodnight is a wallflower and a bluestocking – 2 strikes against her in her world. No one ever notices her. Her mother is pressuring her to marry and threatening to send her to Wales. Marcus Roberts the Earl of Blakely is a horrible rake, but Emily feels drawn to him. When they are thrown together at a house party sparks fly.
“She went from looking surprised to hopeful, to doubtful. He swept the tip of his thumb across her lower lip and then leaned forward to replace it with his mouth. “Whichever.” He ran his tongue along the seam of her mouth coaxingly. “Gentleman.” He turned his face at an angle and sipped at the nectar of her mouth more searchingly. “You wish.”
This book has quite a few steamy sex scenes, and it also has quite a few laugh out loud moments. I loved it. Definitely I can recommend this series.
