** I received an eARC of this book in return for my honest review **

This was my first book by Lynne Connolly and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This book was book 5 in the "The Emperors of London" series. Now, I have to go back and read the first four because I really enjoyed the characters from those books who were also included in this one.

I really liked all of the characters. None of them started out as jerks and got their HEA through their redemption. They were all likeable from the beginning and the point of the book was two childhood friends finding each other and creating their HEA while protecting the heroine from some really nasty characters.

Marcus Aurelius, named after an emperor as all of the Emperors of London are, is the heir to a Marquesate. He and Viola Gates were were friends -- until Marcus was 9 and his family started pulling him away from her because she was the estate manager's daughter and they were getting to close to each other. He watched her from afar though.

Viola Gates had always loved Marcus -- and when he kissed her, she was lost. There is a mystery about Viola and her birth and that is what has to be solved -- and what she needs protection from.

The writing is excellent, the potential evil doers are many and the HEA is great. I hope you'll try this book.

I can't believe that this book has been in my TBR folder for 2 years. I recently read one of Ms Connolly's newer books and decided to go back. This story sounded good, in that the H compromised the h and was pushed into marrying her. In fact, it wasn't really like that. The h is supposedly the daughter of the H's father's steward. She and the H grew up together until they were separated when the h was 9 yo. The H will become the Marquess one day and she wasn't good enough. She did still grow up with the H's sisters and received lessons with them. In the present, the H comes with his father to the estate where the h lives and their connection begins again. The h's secret background is now an issue and she's in danger so the H ends up trying to get her away. This leads to them travelling on their own and for the H to state that they are married when they stay at various inns. This goes on until they do end up married just after the middle of the book. The plot against the h makes up the rest of the story with a number of sex scenes along the way. For me something was lacking in this book. Not for the first time with this author, I feel like the story lost momentum and became difficult to finish. Anyway it's a pleasant enough read.
And it’s the fifth book in Lynne Connolly’s historical romance series, The Emperors of London! This can definitely be read as a standalone, but if you want the juicy behind the scene information of what has been found and collected, since it is a somewhat mystery ongoing series with action and call for danger, then do read the first books but then of course you absolutely don’t have to for this book.

If you know me, I absolutely adore childhood friends to lovers stories and this is one of them that has a touch of something different and sweet. Both the hero and heroine has known each other their whole lives but there’s a secret that no one knows about, her birth is tied to the treacherous Jacobites. The only reason why Marcus was sent away in the first place because she could endanger his life, or that she’s royalty. Of course it turned the other way when she’s attacked and he takes charge to bring her to safety.

I loved that this book was packed with lots of information and action. There are lots of charters that you’ll meet along the way, some old and familiar if you’ve been catching up with the series from the beginning but also new characters waiting for their own adventure.

Marcus is definitely a true hero in every sense. He’s strong and have a heart of a protector, especially when it comes to protecting those he love. Viola was also amazing and is surprisingly level headed under stress and tension, most of the time, which was great because I wouldn’t want a dysfunctional heroine being dragged about England over the turn of events to her life.

I adore tension in romances and super love them even more between friends to lovers stories because you just can’t help but want them to just get it rolling after all those times. I thought they were great together, although it start to get repetitive (the sex scenes), I still enjoyed it.

As many of the books before this one, there’s this loose end to the story. Though Marcus and Viola’s romance ended and just beginning, the mystery over the whole series is still ongoing into the next book, with added new information of course.

Lynne Connolly is amazing and her writing just grabs you so I do recommend this story and really, any of her stories. She also does paranormal you know.
