Lady Phoebe Batten started losing her sight at a young age and is now completely blind. Her overprotective brother, the Duke of Wakefield, hires Captain James Trevillion to serve as her armed bodyguard to be with her at all times. Phoebe doesn't want a bodyguard, especially Captain Trevillion who irritates her at every turn. But an attempted kidnapping shows Phoebe that James will do anything to protect her, even put his own life in jeopardy. James desperately wants to protect Phoebe. He'll even go against her brother's wishes to keep her safe.

I hoped Phoebe would get her own story since she was introduced earlier in the series. Putting her with Captain Trevillion was a perfect choice. Phoebe feels trapped in her current situation. Her brother worries that people will talk about her or that she will be injured. Therefore he has restricted her movements, not allowing her to have a season of her own. When her safety is threatened, things go from bad to worse when she is assigned a full-time bodyguard. James sees the strength in Phoebe and wants to help her spread her wings. He cares about her but knows that the sister of a Duke would never be allowed to marry a former soldier.

I love the romance in this book. The chemistry between Phoebe and James is palpable. So far this is my favorite story in the Maiden Lane series. My rating: 4.5 Stars.

This is Phoebe and James' (Captain Trevillion) story. Phoebe is Hero's (book 2) and Maximus's (book 6) sister. Phoebe has been gradually losing her sight since about the age of 12 and is now completely blind. As a result of both her disability and her brother's status, Maximus enlists a bodyguard to keep her safe. Enter James, who sustained a career ending injury after his horse (Cowslip) was shot from underneath him.
Someone is trying to kidnap Phoebe. Things happen and James takes her home; his own backstory is revealed. I do like Phoebe and James, but I was more intrigued by Eve and Val (Duke of Montgomery). I wondered about them and what their relationship was and am interested in their backstory. Luckily, Eve's story is next with Val's to follow.
