As in the first three books of this series, a young miss has the faerie Baletongue as her godmother. Here we have to wait a bit to learn if Nell will be granted the magical talent of her choice. Nearly 23, Miss Eleanor Wrotham is searching for her younger sister, Sophia, and crosses paths with Mordecai Black. He has been looking for Miss Wrotham. He offers his aid, which she - with limited resources - reluctantly accepts, although he is too bosy for her tastes. The reader joins them on their travels away from London in search of Sophia. During their time together Nell learns Mordecai's reputation does not reflect his true character. He is very persistent in trying to win her affection. The overall mood is serious and our H and h are confronted with a few dangerous characters and situations. I liked the appearance and mention of some characters from the previous books, who help bring the search to an end. This story kept me turning the pages.

Great twist to romance tale that features a rake with a tender heart and the addition of a birthday wish from a faerie godmother. The intimate lovemaking tutorial MIss Wrotham receives from her sensitive but senuous rake is charming and risque all in one. An engaging read.
