Synopsis (Goodreads):
The bravest of heroes. The brashest of rebels. The boldest of lovers. These are the men who risk their hearts and their souls—for the passionate women who dare to love them…Thoughts on The Duke with the Dragon Tattoo: This is my first foray into the Victorian Rebels series and I pretty much loved it. I mean, The Rook is kinda scarred (both figuratively and literally, as it turns out) from what he's been through and he's a rough mess when he reenters Lorelei's life, but...he figures things out. Eventually. It takes some close calls and soul searching, but he gets there.
He is known only as The Rook. A man with no name, no past, no memories. He awakens in a mass grave, a magnificent dragon tattoo on his muscled forearm the sole clue to his mysterious origins. His only hope for survival—and salvation—lies in the deep, fiery eyes of the beautiful stranger who finds him. Who nurses him back to health. And who calms the restless demons in his soul…
A LEGENDARY LOVE
Lorelei will never forget the night she rescued the broken dark angel in the woods, a devilishly handsome man who haunts her dreams to this day. Crippled as a child, she devoted herself to healing the poor tortured man. And when he left, he took a piece of her heart with him. Now, after all these years, The Rook has returned. Like a phantom, he sweeps back into her life and avenges those who wronged her. But can she trust a man who’s been branded a rebel, a thief, and a killer? And can she trust herself to resist him when he takes her in his arms?
Lorelei's life wasn't necessarily as terrible as The Rook's, but it wasn't a bed of roses either. Despite that, she's held on to the core of kindness that is key to helping The Rook dig himself out of the bad place he's in. Let's face it, as ruthless as this pirate king thinks he is, he can't stand hurting Lorelei's kind heart and that says everything you need to know about him.
Okay. So. Scoundrels. Pirates. Women who are stronger than they think. Danger. Men who would burn down the world if it was needed to save their special someone. Did I mention the pirates? They're hard and dangerous and they turn into fluffy puddles of goo over a few kittens. (I might be exaggerating slightly, but not by much. Pirates like kittens. As they should.)
I really like The Rook and Lorelei AND meeting several of the others men and women who've fallen before them. Am I in for the other books in this series? You betcha!
