One Night in London by Caroline Linden

I received this book as an E-Galley from Net Galley in exchange for my honest review.  I have received no other  compensation for this review.  Here is the Goodreads blurb:


A bargain that was all business . . . and pure passion.

Neither wealth nor beauty will help Lady Francesca Gordon win custody of her young niece Georgina, saving the girl from a cruel stepmother; she needs London’s top solicitor for that. But when Edward de Lacey, son of the powerful Duke of Durham, hires away the one man who can do the job, Francesca decides Edward himself must champion her case . . . if only she can melt the dashing lord’s stony heart.

Edward has reason to be guarded, though. London’s tabloids have just exposed a secret that could ruin his entire family. When Francesca offers a unique chance to undo the damage, Edward is forced to agree to a partnership . . . and now, each moment together feeds the flames of his scandalous longing for the passionate widow. But when Georgina disappears, fate will test them both . . . and leave their love hanging in the balance.
This was a quick, fun read.  I really enjoyed the story but the ending fell a touch abrupt.  Lady Gordon is a very knowledgeable and determined woman which is always a plus.  Edward is an interesting character who grows on you over the course of the book.  There is a great deal of politics and intrigue.  Overall this was a good read.  This is an adult novel with sexual situations.

One Night in London earns 3 Fairies from me for a good story and interesting plot.
