Lady Phaedra Northampton is a proper English miss -- but burdened by a dark secret. She's buried her shame in running her wealthy brother Lord Nash's household while hiding behind a sharp wit and dull wardrobe...until a reckless village maid's disappearance pulls her into London's seedy underworld.

A former mercenary and jaded spy-for-hire, Tristan Talbot, Lord Avoncliffe, now does little, and manages to do it scandalously. Though Tristan's an out-and-out rogue, when his dying father begs him to delve into the secrets behind a notorious brothel -- a perfect task for his talents! -- Tristan can't refuse. Is the brothel a front for a notorious Russian spy ring? Tristan is on the hunt -- until his path collides with the oh-so-tempting Lady Phae.

Soon what should be a simple assignment becomes deliciously complicated...when deception and desire lead to an explosive passion -- and deadly foes!

Review

"Lushly sensual and lusciously witty, Carlyle's historical romance is superb." -- Booklist, starred review

About the Author

During her frequent travels through England, Liz Carlyle always packs her pearls, her dancing slippers, and her whalebone corset, confident in the belief that eventually she will receive an invitation to a ball or a rout. Alas, none has been forthcoming. While waiting, however, she has managed to learn where all the damp, dark alleys and low public houses can be found. Liz hopes she has brought just a little of the nineteenth century alive for the reader in her popular novels, which include the trilogy of One Little Sin, Two Little Lies, and Three Little Secrets, as well as The Devil You Know, A Deal With the Devil, and The Devil to Pay. Please visit her at LizCarlyle.com, especially if you're giving a ball.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Addition to this Series
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2009

This story has been detailed by a number of reviewers so I am only giving my opinion on the story. It was great! I liked the fact it was a little darker and more erotic but not to the extreme some suggest. I love all the characters that continue on through Liz Carlyle's series. Kem is an all time favorite. I enjoyed Phaedra and Tristan who are an exciting pairing; the mystery is perfect for the characters; and Zoe is a great catalyst.

To those who disliked the book and intimate that those of us who do are reacting to some false notion that the offerings in this genre are sadly lacking, I say de gustibus non desputandem! There is no accounting for taste, or to each their own. I have found no lack of excellent offerings from this new Liz Carlye, to the new Robin Schone, Victoria Alexander an a number of others, and if you are in to vampire romance, there is a lot of great new romance, Samantha Sommersby, Lara Adrian, Alexandra Ivy,Jeaniene Frost, Jacki Frank, Christine Feehan just to name a few.

I think Tempted All Night is a really good read because IT IS, not because there is a dirth of good reads available so that it appears good. Liz Carlyle on a bad day is good and Tempted All Night must be the result of a lot of really good days!

Everyone that loves love stories that build on the growth of love between the central characters will adore this book. I love everything that is Liz Carlyle & all you LC fans out there will find that this is truely one of her best. I will buy anything that is LC.The reason that I rated this one really highly is the hero-he is the type of person that you do not forget in between reading the book like an actor whose film that you are currently watching & who lingers in a really nice mushy way in your head. The way that he expresses himself to the female character is really unique & there in lies the secret to LC's success. Other authors should follow her example - i will not give too much away with regards to the story suffice it to say that you see the changing of a rake to some-one that is truely smitten, falling for & rejected by the heroine. You must simply read this book - this is a KEEPER!!! Cannot wait for the next book - I had the pleasure of writing to LC & getting a reply straight after reading this book & you can tell that she is so down to earth & truely exceptional.

This book was my first Liz Carlyle. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I definitely wasn't disappointed. I very much enjoyed this book. I liked the characters and continued to be intrigued by the mystery. All in all, it was fun and thrilling and I will definitely read the second in the series. I gave this book 4 stars only because I've read better. It was, however, solidly good.

4.0 out of 5 stars From Brothels to Ballrooms
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 9, 2009

Lady Phaedra Northampton has spent years perfecting her image as a quiet, refined spinster. She has no plans to marry, she has no desire to become part of society. All she wants is to be left in peace. But when her maid's sister vanishes into the depths of London, Phae will do anything to see she is returned. And if her reasons are a little confused with the secrets of her past, Phae doesn't care. She is going to find Millie, no matter what it takes.

But when she witnesses a murder, collides with Zoe Armstrong (illegitimate daughter of the Marquess of Rannoch -  My False Heart (Sonnet Books) ) and is interviewed by Tristan Talbot, Viscount Avoncliff, it doesn't take long for an intelligent girl like Phae to realise her life might never be her own again.

Tristan has problems of his own, though, not helped by a growing obsession for the quiet bluestocking, whose brother - the Marquess of Nash ( Never Lie to a Lady ) - is not a man to be crossed. Still, Phae offers a desperately needed distraction from his father, the Earl of Hauxton, who is dying. Their relationship has always been fraught, but no matter what happened in the past, Tris cannot pass up this last chance to earn his father's approval. And if that quest throws him deeper into the company of Phae, well so be it.

In true Liz Carlyle style this story contains a pair of secretive protagonists, neither being quite what they first appear and both with pasts they would rather forget. Carlyle excels at presenting the darker side of London, and never shying away from difficult subjects. Yet, at the same time, she always offers up a romance that soothes as well as soars, and in Tris and Phae she's created a match worth reading.

Tris' transformation from a pretty wastrel to responsible earl works surprisingly well, and his tenderness with Phae is lovely. As for Phae, the way Carlyle manifests her troubles, tangling it up with her desires and the strictures of her mother's teachings, is handled beautifully, adding a deeper understanding between the main two. True, bondage is not for everyone, but I think the motives here work.

Ranging from brothels to ballrooms, scattered with secrets and treason, Carlyle delivers a solid romance in her gorgeous style. And yes, Kemble and Max make brief appearances (they're who I read for, I'll freely admit). Oh, and the mention of Zoe's troubles to come bodes well for her book soon to come -  Wicked All Day . I love Liz Carlyle's Historical world and how the characters link all her books together. This one is no exception. A thoroughly enjoyable tale.

In all Ms. Carlyle's
stories, there is one character I love and this is Mr. Kemble. Your humor is delightful and I chuckle whenever he becomes so histrionic. But really, he does have a deeper portion buried within. I've seen it in your story with his sister. I'll leave it at that.
