The Queen’s Deadly Damsels, book 3

 The Confessions of a Lady is the third in the series The Queen’s Deadly Damsels, therefor it does take a few chapters to be able to establish the characters, should it be the first book in the series read.

This becomes apparent early in the storyline, although at various points it takes a little sorting out as to how the characters interact with one another, particularly when it come to the friendship between Lord William (Liam) Renquist, Marquess of Stoneway and Killian and Drake, men he had served together with in the bloody war against Napoleon.

Penny is a maid recently appointed to his household. She is determined to discover the evil she believes he is involved with, and in doing so get a reward from the Crown to help her free her mother from goal.

Liam is equally determined to gain access to the brotherhood known as the Devil’s Sons, to destroy it from the inside out. He is also a secret spy for the Queen. When these two come together sparks fly: Penny will not bow down to a Lord and Liam believes Penny is hiding her real purpose in his household.

An upstairs/downstairs style plot is not one which needs a lot of attention to understand what is going on, the racy sections of the story could be a little less, but overall it is a Regency Romance that makes an enjoyable read for an afternoon spent relaxing.
