Hot-tempered and unpredictable, Delilah Desmond was indeed the Devil's daughter. Another fun read.
The dialogue in this novel often sparkles, especially between Delilah and Jack. And Jack is a treasure; he's not a brooding, broken man or the cosmopolitan rake-hell. He's studious and intelligent, a bit bashful and genuinely kind to others. Even though he's recently been crushed by an unsuccessful love triangle with one of his best friends, Jack is not morose.
Delilah is almost as charming; she's intelligent, a bit worldly and looking for a husband. She's in a hurry to find someone before her father's memoirs are published. She is convinced that the uproar over her father's life (after all, his name is Devil Desmond), will turn her into a pariah to the ton.
Perhaps this novel might have been called, FATHER KNOWS BEST because, after all his subtle machinations, he's the one who comes out smelling like a rose. This is a light-hearted romp. Enjoy.
