Lord of Wicked Intentions wraps up the Lost Lords of Pembrooke trilogy. I still need to go back and read the first one but do recommend reading the second one at least before this one. I was looking forward to this one while still in the middle of Lord of Temptation.
I love a tortured hero and could tell that’s what we’d get in Rafe and I loved every bit of it. Rafe protests too much about Evie from night one but still takes a good portion of the book to realize his feelings. It’s predictable but I still ate it up. I was glad that this turned into a slow burn after Rafe experiences instalust after their first meeting.
The premise for the story was interesting and loved Evie for her naïveté, becoming self aware of her life, and backbone. My heart broke for Rafe as we learn all he endured and it was put back together by the reconciliation of his brothers and love for Evie. Because of his childhood, Rafe lives a strict life with rules that he’s had to have to keep his demons at bay and getting to see those slowly fade away because of Evie was emotional and loved it as part of Rafe’s journey.
This trilogy was giving me Bareknuckled Bastards (Sara Maclean) vibes.
There were four encounters. I found this one steamier than the last one as the scenes were more explicit this time around.
