Book Review - The Dark Seduction of Miss Jane by Amanda McIntyre







My Thoughts

After walking in on her fiancee having sex with a maid and breaking off their engagement very publicly, Jane moves to London for the opportunity to write. She ends up investigating a series of murders and getting involved with the Scotland Yard Inspector Randolph. He protects her from the mad man that is stalking her and also shares passionate moments with her as well. The longer he works alongside her, the stronger his feelings grow for her. He has a secret that he wants to share with her.

I enjoyed this romantic thriller very much. I loved Jane being the strong and courageous woman she was in a time when it wasn't acceptable.

I give The Dark Seduction of Miss Jane 4 hearts!


About the Book


A scandalous betrayal sets Miss Jane Goodwin on an unexpected journey to London to pursue her dream of being the first female investigative journalist, but she soon finds herself in a hotbed of murder and controversy. Seduced by the passions of a mysterious lover and stalked by a madman, tensions mount as Jane falls prey to her desires, only to discover a deadly secret that threatens more than just her trust in men.

Inspector Randolph Mansfield is one of Scotland Yard’s elite, battling the dark secrets of his past while trying to solve a rash of grisly murders threatening to mar Queen Victoria's Jubilee. His respite is the anonymity he finds in the decadence of a private gentleman’s club, until a determined American journalist goes undercover in search of her stalker and he finds the lines between protection and passion blurred. But as tensions heat and her life is threatened, he must choose whether to reveal his true identity at the risk of losing her trust and his career.

 Excerpt



My parents believed that women should be independent and capable. What is your thinking along those lines, Mr. Hampton?” she asked, purposely goading him.

He emitted a long-suffering sigh. “I do find a capable woman refreshing, Miss Goodwin. I have no qualms with a woman who wishes to be independent and, moreover, isn't afraid to speak her mind.”

She slid him a glance. “Indeed, I think your aunt is correct. You are a charmer.”

He shrugged. “A woman can profess to be independent in many things, but there are still times when a man’s involvement is necessary.”

“That is quite enough, Wesley Hampton,” his aunt spoke.

“Name one,” Jane fired back as she crossed her arms.

“Jane!” Isabella turned in her chair and pinned Jane with a shocked expression.

Wesley’s mouth curled into a wicked smile. He lifted his brow and set down his cup. “A conversation left to another day

  3. I think I would be charmed by this story for the same reasons the reviewer gives: a strong, courageous heroine in a time when it wasn't proper for a woman to be that way. I guess I'm sort of a rebel myself. I speak my mind and have been accused of being too blunt at times. But I don't like to evade or skirt or sugarcoat issues or problems. Plus, I love the combination of romance and intrigue...a reader can get thrilled two ways at the same time. :-) Thanks for the post! jdh2690@gmail.com
