As a child, Lady Ophelia Darby was involved in a
terrible carriage accident that washed her downstream. Luckily a young peasant boy jumped into the
river to save her. They stayed together in
a cabin in the woods for days until they were rescued. They promise to wed each other someday. But how can a peasant boy marry the daughter
of a Marquess?
Now an adult, Lady Ophelia moves through her regular
society events during the day but sings as Lady Starlight in the shadowy underworld
at night. She wants to find the answer
to her father’s dark secret, and also to discover more about the mysterious
Devlin Byrne, master of the underworld. When
she discovers that Devlin was the young boy who saved her, she is intrigued. As the two get to know each other, how can
they move forward into the future with such different pasts?
I was engaged by story immediately. I loved how it started as a childhood
love. I loved a story of two star crossed
lovers from different backgrounds trying to figure out how to make it work. I also loved the mysteries in the romance that
had to be solved. I loved how Lady Ophelia
was an independent woman who wanted to marry for love, and I loved how Devlin
supported her. I just loved a lot about
this romance novel. There were a couple
of steamy scenes in the novel, but it didn’t go overboard.
This was the third book in the Sinful Wallflowers series,
but it read well as a stand-alone. I
want to check out the rest of the series now!
Favorite Quotes:
“We all have a bit of madness in our hearts; we’ve
just learned to hide it. I admit I might
sparkle a little brighter because, according to my father, I have been overindulged.”
Overall, A Scoundrel of Her Own was a delightful Regency
romance novel.
