Review: The Secrets of Mia Danvers – Robyn DeHart

A lone witness finds her protector…

Since losing her sight in a childhood accident, Mia Danvers has resided in a small cottage on the vast Carrington estate. Thought to be dead, Mia lives a life of virtual seclusion—until one night, while walking home, she happens upon a horrendous crime.

Alex Foster, Eighth Duke of Carrington, lives according to society’s expectations for him. He’s never met the woman who lives in the cottage at the edge of his property. But when she arrives at his door in the pouring rain terrified and claiming she has witnessed a murder, she seizes his attention.

Mia is determined to help the authorities track down the culprit, even though the only person willing to accept her aid is the handsome, arrogant duke. Working closely together proves difficult as Mia’s beauty and independence tempts Alex to ignore convention and follow his desire. But what neither of them know is that this murderer has struck before in Whitechapel, taunting the British press only to vanish—a ruthless killer who knows that Mia is the only living witness to his crime…

Reviewer’s Thoughts

Mia, A young woman, who became blind after a riding accident. That was just the beginning, of life’s set back soon after her father dies. Her Mother not wanting to take a non prefect daughter into society. Leaves her at a cottage, on a Duke’s estate.

Alex, The eighth Duke of Carrington, is not quite suited for Dukedom by societies standers. He more at ease with military life, having retired from that upon is elder brothers death.

Mia and Alex are thrown together after Mia witness a gruesome murder. Mia is quite certain she can help catch the murder, while Alex feels the no one would find credible because of her blindness.

The Secrets Of Mia Danvers was a great read, it brought together romance and mystery into amazing plot. The characters seemed real, I felt drawn into their world. The way the characters and plot, flowed and developed made very hard to put the book down. The Romance Between Mia and Alex was a bit drawn out, but it was definitely worth the wait in the end. I enjoyed all the different relationship dynamics that portrayed in this story.

I can not wait to read the rest if the Dangerous Liaisons Series, and see what Robyn DeHart has in store.
