It stands alone fine but I suspect there are subtleties that I missed because I haven't read the previous books. I haven't read any of the other books this one was sent to me unsolicited by Avon Books and I just happened to be in the mood for something light, shortly after it arrived. Whether or not that's to your taste is something you might want to consider.ĭevil's Daughter is the 5th in 'The Ravenels' series.

It bears mentioning because, near as I can tell from my recent romance reading, the sheer quantity of bedroom scenes is atypical. There is a tremendous amount of sex in Devil's Daughter. That last line is not how a publicist would probably choose to describe Devil's Daughter but Phoebe and West definitely give in to their attraction physically. Will Phoebe and West be able to give in to their attraction permanently? Or will they just have a fling and move on? But, if there's one woman who can turn his head, it's Phoebe and he even enjoys hanging out with her children. He doesn't think any woman deserves to deal with a former cad like himself, so he's chosen to remain single. But, in recent years he has found joy in farming the family land and working to improve the lives of their tenants. West was not a good man before his brother inherited the family title. Why, she's practically bethrothed to the manager of her estate, although he hasn't yet asked for her hand in marriage. Phoebe has not forgotten, so she's particularly horrified to find herself attracted to West when she meets him at a family wedding. In his early days at boarding school, he was tormented by a bully named West Ravenel. Phoebe, Lady Clare, is a widow with two small children who married a sickly man knowing he would likely not live long.
