There is intrigue from the very start of PROTECTING LADY ANNISE, and the numerous emotional conflicts connected to the romantic couple doubled my reading enjoyment. I have enjoyed all the fascinating situations which have arisen in the past books of the Regency Redemption series, and the third story has one compelling development after another. When Annise finds herself in big trouble not of her own making, she turns to Devan because of his profession. But it does not take long for them to comprehend that her coming to him could have a huge impact on both of their lives. There was never a single second in the story where I did not totally believe the scenes in how they played out, as Tess St. John made every event convincing in all ways.
Since Lady Annise Belmont is a member of high society in London, her decision to write fictional mysteries would be frowned upon by other people of her social rank, so she uses a false name. Upon learning someone has killed another writer in the same manner described in a story thought up in her mind, she knows immediate action must be taken or her own life could be forever changed. Feeling only one person can possibly assist her at this time, Annise goes to speak with Devan Lansing, a friend who is also a solicitor. His response to her troubles is even more helpful than she could ever have expected, but following his advice could definitely alter her future.
I always enjoy stories taking place in the Regency period, this one is 1820, as I get to experience the ups and downs of living in a time when the opinion of others was very important. In this book, there are fun social events, yet the main characters have worries about how they could be perceived because of something related to their lives. The unknowns linked to a murder are handled with imagination, as crucial details are slowly revealed with much cleverness. As for the relationship of Devan and Annise, their deepest inner feelings are demonstrated in quite a few ways, from how they reacted to different circumstances to what is spoken aloud, and I truly adored this couple. There are also lots of secondary characters whose presence made the story more entertaining because of their diverse personalities.
