The Sins of Lord Easterbrook (easterbrook book 4)

by Madeline Hunter.

And the fourth and final book in the series. Finally it's Easterbrook's turn and we learn something of his travels and a woman he fell in love with on those travels who reappears in his life. There is a lot of political stuff going on in this one, dealing with the opium trade which was very interesting. This one was interesting because until the last few pages she was set against staying and was planning on leaving and that this was nothing but an affair... interesting. It was nice to follow the characters from the previous books and how they are all still doing. I love series' because of that.

Secrets of Surrender (Easterbrook book 3)

by Madeline Hunter.

This book follows Rose who was the cousin to Alexia from book 1. She knows the truth about her brother finally but still can't take handouts from Hayden whom she's insulted. She gets herself in trouble and Kyle helps out - one of the people that her brother hurt financially. He proposes marriage to help her out of scandal and they try to build a life together even though he was not highly born. A lot of hurdles for that relationship.

Lessons of Desire (Easterbrook book 2)

by Madeline Hunter.

This book follows Easterbrook's younger brother Elliot as he tries to help the family escape from scandal. He ends up falling for Phaedra while touring with her through the continent (they even marry to escape trouble thinking it won't last). Phaedra is against marriage on principal and it looks troublesome for the two for a while.

It was nice to see some of the continent instead of just England and Phaedra's views are very odd for Victorian times but very comforting for current times.

Rules of Seduction (Easterbrook book 1)

by Madeline Hunter.

This book follows one of the brothers of Easterbrook - Hayden as he strives to help the family of a friend of his, then he falls for the cousin of that family. Unfortunately the family thinks he destroyed them when in reality he was helping to keep the brother from being brought up on charges. Eventually the truth comes out a little bit and he's happy in a new marriage.

Back to the Victorian age - what a great past time.
