The Leading Lady by Deb Marlowe

The Leading Lady by Deb Marlowe
This is book 2 in the Half Moon House Series
Miss Callie Grant is on a mission to find her sister. She is taken aback when she is told she must work with Lord Truitt (Tru) Russell to do so. Callie and Tru had had run-ins before and she doesn't think they can work together, especially when she find out that they are to pose as husband and wife.
Tru is determined to restore his honor. The only way he can do so is to help capture the man that destroyed him, Lord Marstoke. Reluctantly agreeing to work with Callie, he soon learns that what he thought about her might not be true. He also does his best to make Callie see him in a new light.
Could this faux marriage turn into one in truth?
I had hoped that Tru would get his own story and Marlowe didn't disappoint. It was nice to see that under all that troubled exterior, there was a very nice man trying to get out.
We discover many hidden depths of both Callie and Tru whom we met in The Love List. It was pure joy watching Callie and Tru pretend to be married and falling in love in the process. Once they let each other in, they were finally able to see the true person behind the facade that each of them had in place.
I've really enjoyed the Half Moon House series and can't wait to see what Marlowe has in store for us next.

A Waltz in the Park by Deb Marlowe

A Waltz in the Park by Deb Marlowe
A Half Moon House series novella.
Miss Adelaide Stockton has to act the prim and proper miss in public to try and make society forget the scandal of her parent's marriage. She didn't count on the one person to see through her persona being a scoundrel. Try as she might, she just can't stop thinking about him.
James Vickers is trying to bring down his father. The key to that just might be with Adelaide's aunt. As he tries to find answers, he finds himself getting closer and closer with Adelaide who happens to be the wrong type of person to fit in with his plans.
Can James get revenge on his father and find the love of his life?
This was a great quick read.  Marlowe has a way of quickly drawing you into her stories and giving you the satisfaction of a full novel with her novellas. I loved seeing Hestia again!!
I can't wait for more Half Moon stories!!

The Love List by Deb Marlowe

The Love List by Deb Marlowe.

This is book one in the Half Moon House series.

While in a rather awkward situation with her bethrothed, Lord Marstoke, Brynne encounters the Duke of Aldmere. Brynne is convinced that he is as bad as her betrothed. She races home to tell her father that she wants to break off the betrothal, only to learn that he will be of no help to her. Learning this, she decides to leave her home and move in with Hestia Wright a former courtesan who has opened her home to women in trouble.

A few months later, Bryanne has reason to seek out the Duke of Aldmere to help with a situation that could ruin her new found freedom. The Duke's brother has started rewriting the Harris List of Covent Garden Ladies and has put Brynne and the other ladies of Half Moon House in the book.

Aldmere's brother has been missing for days and he quickly agrees that the two of them need to work together to find his brother and to stop the publication of the list.

They find out that Lord Marstoke is behind the rewriting of the list to get back at Brynne and Hestia for something in the past.  As they delve deeper into the mystery of Aldmere's missing brother, they find out that Marstoke is up to much more than just reviving the list.

Bryanne has decided to never be under the control of another man again, but as she spends more time with Admere she is second guessing her decision.

I really enjoyed this book and stayed up much later than normal to read just a little bit more.  The additional story line of the girls in Half Moon House added an interesting twist to the story.  I hope that Aldmere's brother gets his own story as well as some of the ladies in the house.

You can get this story at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and iTunes.
