CAPTIVE SCOUNDREL, (Lady Faith, the uncut version) Knave of Hearts, Two of Four

A carriage sent over a cliff, a greedy brother and an unfaithful wife leave Justin Devereux, Duke of Ainsley, more dead than alive. Faith Wickham, the woman hired to nurse him—as much a captive as her patient—faces poison disguised as medicine and a decision that could kill. Meanwhile, locked in a coma, Justin calls from his tormented dreams ... and an angel answers with her heart.

A history of CAPTIVE SCOUNDREL: In 1999, the book, LADY FAITH, needed to be cut in half to fit the Precious Gem Line for Kensington Publishing. Now, here in its full award-winning, uncut glory for the first time is the story of the captive duke and the nurse who saved him.

    very great read

    This story was romantic like most of Ms Blairs stories and holds some suspense with it. This story is of Faith and Justin. Justin discovers his wife’s deceit with his brother. And when he follows them to save his daughter, his brother tries to kill him yet when the coach goes over a ledge to rocks near the ocean. The brother Vincent hires Faith to take care of Justin. Justin is in a coma and when Faith dreams she dreams of Justin calling for her. She discovers that the medicine that Vincent insists she give Justin is actually poison and slowly weans him off of it. And he wakes up. Justin and Faith fall in love and fake a story that someone in her family is ill and needs her. She gets Justin moved to her family home and they plot the uncover Vincent’s deceit.

    Kinda sad

    After reading Sea Scoundrel, this book was a quite a bit sadder and darker simply because of the subject matter. When a family memeber is trying to kill you slowly, that puts a damper on things. The heroine was likeable and the surprise at the end made it worth reading. But not the romp Sea Scoundrel is.

    Kept me on pins and needles

    The story of the duke who's brother tries to kill him using an unsuspecting nurse to feed him poison that he tells her is medicine. The story of his recovery drags a little but once it gets going you can't put it down. I thought we were going to lose him and the nurses. But surprisingly she up and marries him. You'd think that would be the end but no, there's the brother still trying to kill him. The ending is kind of a surprise...but good.

    I really like the way Blair explores the roles open to women in

    I really like the way Blair explores the roles open to women in this time period. I also liked the subtle hinst that the villian might have had some sanity issues ( as opposed to he was just an evil person in some random way to serve the plot).

    Disappointing after reading the first book

    Characters were so unbelievable and the story line started out promising but went down hill very quickly.
