![]() ![]() ![]() Duran offers a lovely reminder of why these heroes are so compelling: When they share their secrets, they risk themselves and reveal their emotions. Olivia cannot help but be drawn to Marwick’s seemingly impenetrable darkness. Here is the true power of the alpha hero. Marwick is a classic Byronic hero, literally locked away until Olivia Holladay arrives, planning to steal from him but instead freeing him. In “Fool Me Twice,” Duran introduces the handsome and terrifying Duke of Marwick, widely believed to have gone mad after being betrayed by and subsequently losing his wife. It soon becomes clear that the magic that will save him will ultimately destroy her, and the stakes of their unexpected love get higher with each page. The heart is now slowly turning Will to metal, and he vows to exact revenge - until he discovers that Holly has the ability to cure his affliction. When the heart of part-human, part-demon Will Thorne was ripped from his chest, genius Holly Evernight created a clockwork heart to keep him alive. This volume in Callihan’s Darkest London series - steampunk-paranormal-historical romance hybrids - might be her best book yet. "Suddenly Last Summer" by Sarah Morgan (HQN/HQN) ![]()
