DANGEROUS SECRETS

A killer is stalking Peter Jennett, Viscount Easterbrook. His cousin’s home in the Lake District village of Buttermere seems the perfect place to hide—until Peter is shot and left for dead. His last conscious thought is to hide his identity and confuse his assassin. Forced into the care of a local nurse, the last thing he expects is to discover a woman who makes him wish he were the simple man he pretends to be.

Nurse Anne Albright has never been attracted to a patient, but Peter Matthews, an estate manager wounded by a poacher’s errant shot, is special and captures her heart. Then she discovers his secrets, and one is so huge, so personal and so hurtful, she can’t forgive him. She’ll force herself to nurse him even as he ignores the truth and places a target on his back, and as he helps her face truths of her own.

I enjoyed Never A Viscount by Sheri Humphreys.  It has romance and mystery all rolled up together. “With only the smallest pull she leaned toward him. He moved slowly, giving her the opportunity to balk, but she didn’t. The scent of newly opened roses filled his head, and their lips met in a kiss unlike any he’d experienced. A kiss that made him forget all good intentions of staying in control and ignited a fire that swept through his belly, his chest, his limbs.” My only complaints were a few sections where the pace seemed to lag a bit, and one confusing scene where there were quite a few characters introduced. Other than that I felt that it was well written.
