Guest Review: A Notorious Countess Confesses – Julie Anne Long

Posted September 30, 2012 by Shannon in Reviews / 0 Comments

She rose to spectacular heights…

From Covent Garden to courtesan to countess, beautiful, fearless, shamelessly ambitious Evie Duggan has riveted London in every role she plays. But the ton never could forgive her scandalous—if shockingly short—marriage, and when her star plummets amid gleefully vicious gossip, the countess escapes to the only legacy left to her: a manor house in Pennyroyal Green.

He never expected to fall so hard…

He has the face of a fallen angel and a smolder the devil would envy, but Vicar Adam Sylvaine walks a precarious line: resisting temptation…and the wild Eversea blood in his veins. Adam’s strength is tested when scandal, aka the countess, moves to Sussex. But when a woman who fiercely guards her heart and a man entrusted with the souls of an entire town surrender to a forbidden desire, will the sweetest sin lead them to Heaven…or make outcasts of them forever?

Reviewer’s Thoughts:

Evie a girl that started in poverty, that went throw and tried her hardest to help her family have a better life. going to London to work in the theater. Then marrying an Earl who won the right to marry her in a card game.

Adam the Vicar to the small community of Pennyroyal Green. Doing his best to help and lead his community.

Evie at first has a hard to being excepted by the community seen as someone who will destroy all the morals they hold dear to them. Trying to do charitable works to get accepted by the woman of the town. Adam starts to help Evie with her getting involved and making friends.

The romance between Adam and Evie is very slow paced. But was very steamy and interesting when it picked up. The interactions between all the characters seemed a bit touch and go. The plot was interesting, and at the same seemed drawn out.
