The Lady's Forbidden Love (The Langley Sisters) Paperback – June 25, 2020

Our heroine is Abigail Wright aka Abby, a governess, who decides to sneak out of her house for a taste of freedom and has presented herself as Lady Abigail Deville, sister of an earl. Daniel Dillinger is our successful businessman hero, who has only one thing he will not tolerate and that is betrayal. When Daniel and Abby meet, there is an instant attraction but Daniel soon discovers that Abby was not who she claimed to be, he was furious and vowed to avoid her forever. But fate had other plans, and they soon found themselves in danger from a mysterious enemy who wanted Abby dead. Can they overcome their mistrust and find their HEA?I enjoyed the suspense, humor, and passion in the book plus the chemistry between the couple was sizzling. Abby was a strong and independent heroine who did not let her brothers or society dictate her life. Daniel was a handsome and honorable hero who had a soft spot for Abby despite his anger. The plot was fast-paced and kept me hooked until the end and the writing style was smooth and easy to follow. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I did.

Abigail “Abby” Wright, daughter of an earl, lives with four protective brothers. She wanted one night of freedom, so she snuck out. She met Daniel Dillinger, and he presumed she was a governess. Abby did not correct. They have a wonderful night visiting. Daniel then learns she is the daughter of an earl. Abby sees the anger smoldering in his eyes. Daniel keeps her secret and vows he will bit cross her path again. He soon discovers what led to Abby’s deception, and he saves her from a knife-wielding villain. Daniel realizes he can no longer deny what is in his heart. He wants to keep Abby safe because losing her is not something he can contemplate. - . Abby is feisty. I love the way she stands up to her brothers Daniel is a kind, smart, and successful. Abby’s brothers respect Daniel but want Abby to marry someone with a title. Abby does not care about that, but Daniel thinks noblemen are above those not bon with a title. He fights his attraction to Abby, and that is frustrating to Abby, reader and Daniel’s family, and the reader. I enjoyed the family dynamics in this historical romance. It is a good read.

This story had good twists and excitement! Loved the story of Daniel and Abby! I love how love wins in Wendy Vella’s stories!! Happily ever afters!!pamarellaPRCS

I really enjoyed Danial and Abby's story. It took awhile for it to all work out. But after saving lives several times realization finally set in.

The Lady's Forbidden Love is a phenomenal historical romance by Wendy Vella. Ms. Vella provides readers with a well-written book populated with a spectacular cast of characters. Daniel meets Abby at a tavern and rescues her from a drunk on their second meeting. Abby is the sister of the Deville brothers, the oldest being an earl. But since she was sneaking out at night she told Daniel she was a governess. Daniel is angry when he finds she lied to him, but ends up rescuing her. Daniel and Abby's story is packed with drama, humor, sizzle, action and suspense. I loved this book! The Lady's Forbidden Love is book 7 of The Langleys Sisters Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

Story started great out with the hidden identity and the introduction of the Deville brothers.. I was hoping for more plot twists after the attempt on Abby's life but it was dropped. The fight at the end had no purpose except for them to come out to everyone and admit that they were in love.

Didn’t want to put it down. Slow in a couple of areas but made up for it with an intriguing ending.

The characters are consistently well drawn and there are few dull moments, but the awful grammar jars the believability. Who says, “Like he”?The phrase is “Like him, she was concerned about the safety of…” as one example, not “Like he…”I must admit to really liking the Sinclair Raven series as well as the “Knight Street” series and the Devilles. But can Ms Vella, who has talent, not be taught some rules of grammar?My only difficulty with her books.

Wendy Vella has developed a great community of characters, masterfully writing callbacks to a deep rich tapestry of players. She writes strong women in her stories. Love it!

This was a great read, the book captured my interest immediately and kept my interest throughout the whole book. I loved Daniel and Abby straight away. Initially Daniel is very attracted to Abby as he believes she’s a governess but when the truth comes out that’s when his own prejudices come up. He feels he can’t pursue her because she’s from the nobility, he hates being lied to-she lied to him, and Daniel has issues in his past that he keeps suppressing. Abby has many over protective brothers who are making her life a misery. Mix all this with attempted abduction and attempted murder and you’ve got a great book. I really hope Abby’s brothers get their own books- please Wendy make it happen. All in all a brilliant book and I’m looking forward to the next instalment.I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

As per usual Wendy takes us back into the world of regency London and does not disappoint. Daniel, Ace(Oliver)'s brother (from Lady plays her Ace - book 4) meets an intriguing woman at a pub and goes back there several times hoping to see her again. The next time he does he walks her home thinking she is working class only to discover on a chance encounter that she is not what she said and he lets dreams of a happily ever after go.Nothing is ever that easy and Daniel will have to reevaluate everything he believes to be true to fight for the love of his life and for his actual life when Ace's past catches up to them.A riveting story that I just couldn't put down, immerse yourself in this amazing world of Wendy's and spend a day caught up in this romance of a life time.

I love this book. I love how the characters in previous books in this series form part of the story. I savour every chapter. I love a happy ending and sad that this is the last book in the series. But wait! I just realised a new series has started with the Deville brothers, which is like a continuation of the last series! Can't wait to get into them.

I have devoured each instalment of this series and loved each until this one.This book started strong, I had high hopes it would be as fantastic as the previous ones but I fear it fell flat.This instalment felt extremely drawn out. The characters were well thought out and the incident with the boat described perfectly, but their “courting” felt as arduous.This storyline had so much promise but it pains me to say it fell flat. I hate giving three star reviews but I do so when I feel it warrants it, and I’m afraid this does.There were quite a few formatting issues in the text and the occasional issue with edit, which I can usually overlook. These have appeared in most of the regency collections but as the stories were great I could overlook them, alas, not this time.I’m hoping Ms Vella continues the series with the Deville brothers and I hope Ditrimy and Gabe become a couple. I have my fingers crossed.
