The Devil to Pay by Liz Carlyle
4.0
Liz Carlyle is a fabulous writer. There was a mix of drama, romance, and humor laced into a plot of intrigue and deception.
I would have liked to see the main character’s together in more scenes, but the romance still worked brilliantly.
I have to add that this hero reminded me of Dane from Lord of Scoundrels for some reason, he just had that vibe, which made me like him even more. His loneliness amidst all his raking made him all the more receptive to his gentle friendship with Sidonie. I liked how she matched the two sides of Aleric’s personality-the side that was hurt and rebelling and the side that longed for connection and love.
I liked the bent of the story that revealed two people who came to heal from their parents mistakes when they learned that their parents are merely human. It seems to be a part of growing up that most of us go through when we hold our parents to a high standard, and when they fail to meet those expectations we feel cheated of a relationship that is sometimes idealized.
Liz Carlyle is an author that I highly recommend! This story was one of my favorites!
