Procure Dilemma In Yellow Silk (The Emperors Of London, #5) Created By Lynne Connolly Distributed As Softcover

you for the humour and almost complete lack of editing, I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review, This was one of, if not my favorite, entry in the Emperors of London series, Viola is the daughter of the land manager for the Marquess of Strenshall, The Marquess and his son, Marcus, come to the estate to check on her father after he suffers an accident.
Viola finds herself remembering the feelings she had for Marcus for years as they grew up together until Marcus turned.
Viola acts as hostess for the Marquess and after staying overnight, finds that her father was attacked at their home.
Marcus springs into action and works to bring Viola to safety, They soon find themselves on the road to London on the public stage as a married couple.
Viola has decided she will likely remain a spinster and wants to seize her opportunity to experience passion with Marcus.
Proving his status as a gentleman, Marcus preserves Viola's choices but allows her her first taste of passion.
Upon reaching London, Marcus and Viola have to decide if their relationship is worth fighting for Viola's birth is not quite what it appears.
A daughter of the Old Pretender and his Italian wife, Viola finds herself and Marcus in danger.
Julius makes an appearance and continues to tantalize readers and make me impatient for his book, There was also an interesting development with Alconbury, the heir to the Emperor's worst enemy, the Dankworth family.
I loved Marcus as a hero, he is reserved and chivalrous, Viola is more tempestuous, but exactly what Marcus needs to balance him, Connolly does a great job writing an engaging story of childhood friends to lovers with political intrigue thrown in the mix.
I'm looking forward to the next title in the series, Unlike the previous books in the series this one was an easy and quick read for me.
I would have liked to see more romance between the two main characters because I felt that it was lacking on that area.
I am getting tired of seeing one of the emperors falling in love with a child of the Jacobite king.
It feels as if the story repeats itself and I don't think that any reader would like a repeating plot for the a series to read.
People always seem to discover that are children of that king and always run from the same person while falling in love with the emperor who is protecting them.
Hopefully the author will find something else to write about in the next book, A little angst will be a nice touch since so far is missing from the stories, And it's the fifth book in Lynne Connolly's historical romance series, The Emperors of London! This can definitely be read as a standalone, but if you want the juicy behind the scene information of what has been found and collected, since it is a somewhat mystery ongoing series with action and call for danger, then do read the first books but then of course you absolutely don't have to for this book.


If you know me, I absolutely adore childhood friends to lovers stories and this is one of them that has a touch of something different and sweet.
Both the hero and heroine has known each other their whole lives but there's a secret that no one knows about, her birth is tied to the treacherous Jacobites.
The only reason why Marcus was sent away in the first place because she could endanger his life, or that she's royalty.
Of course it turned the other way when she's attacked and he takes charge to bring her to safety.


I loved that this book was packed with lots of information and action, There are lots of charters that you'll meet along the way, some old and familiar if you've been catching up with the series from the beginning but also new characters waiting for their own adventure.


Marcus is definitely a true hero in every sense, He's strong and have a heart of a protector, especially when it comes to protecting those he love.
Viola was also amazing and is surprisingly level headed under stress and tension, most of the time, which was great because I wouldn't want a dysfunctional heroine being dragged about England over the turn of events to her life.


I adore tension in romances and super love them even more between friends to lovers stories because you just can't help but want them to just get it rolling after all those times.
I thought they were great together, although it start to get repetitive the sex scenes, I still enjoyed it.


As many of the books before this one, there's this loose end to the story.
Though Marcus and Viola's romance ended and just beginning, the mystery over the whole series is still ongoing into the next book, with added new information of course.


Lynne Connolly is amazing and her writing just grabs you so I do recommend this story and really, any of her stories.
She also does paranormal you know,

This is bookin the "The Emperors of London" Series and my first book by Lynne Connolly.
I really enjoyed it. It was a very entertaining read,
Viola Gates have been in love with Marcus since they were both very young, There are a lot of twists and turns and the romance between them is very nice, The historical aspects are accurate and make the read more interesting,

I received a copy by the publisher via NetGalley for an honest review, WARNING: This novel contains several scenes of a sexual nature and I would not recommend this novel to anyone under the age offor this reason.
If those scenes are not your cup of tea, it is just as easy to skip over them without feeling like you've lost anything.


I feel like I should begin my review by saying two things right off the bat.
One this is pretty much a standalone novel, What I mean by "pretty much" is that while this is the first in this series that I have personally read, I didn't feel like I was lost or not understanding the backstory.
However, at the end it feels like there is an element of the story that has not been completely resolved and therefore can be used to continue this story in the next installment.


The second thing I want to get out is that while I am not a prude by any means, and I enjoy a good sex scene as much as the next person, there comes a point when those types of scenes become too repetitive and not only take away some of the enjoyment of the overall story, but also cause me to skip those scenes altogether and unfortunately this story crossed that point.


Now that I've gotten that out of the way allow me to now move on to my thoughts on this story.


There was a lot in this novel that I enjoyed, the characters had a history together they were friends during their childhood years until his parents pulled them apart and while on the outside they couldn't have been more different or so it seemed they shared a special affection for each other that was easy to see throughout this story.
I also enjoyed the elements of danger that were ever present throughout this novel, You could never tell from what side the danger would come from and that made the suspense portion of this story more enjoyable than I was expecting.


For a female who has had their entire world turned upside down, I felt Viola performed extraordinarily well under stress.
It takes a lot of courage and not to mention a backbone of steel to not only be told that everything you thought about your life was a lie, and that your very life is in danger, but to also lose one's father and gain a husband within a matter of days.
I felt that she was portrayed as someone who was not only a strong lead, but someone in whom the reader could believe in and root for.
I am curious to see how the rest of the series plays out,

Overall, I would definitely recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys a good historical romance novel.


DISCLAIMER: I received a complimentary copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.
This has not affected my review in any way, All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review aremy own,
It is my second book in this series, I will probably read them all, but it is the blurb appealing me the most which will decide of the order I will select them.

The author was able to create one more new very interesting duet of characters,
Each one with its strength and

its flaws, with strong personalities enhanced and counterbalanced by another.

Violet is a lost daughter of an exiled king, but she was raised far from a royal court, she thought her parentage a tale, believing she is the daughter of a steward.
Until her life is threatened and she must run to save herself with her long time crush.

Marcus is a man who always followed the rules, he is never
carried away, until he is around Violet.
They were friends as kids but their parents chose a different path for each of them, As a heir, Marcus must not play with the daughter of a land stewart, even if he is a cousin.
But when Violets life becomes at stake, he must follow his impulse and make a choice, a choice which could be devastating.

I loved there was few angst, only moments of miscommunication but they are smart enough to overcome them and talk about their feeling even if they do not spell immediately the big word with a capital L.

It is also nice to see again the characters from the previous books, It is like seeing again old friends,
I can only recommend this awesome series,
