Gypsy Lover

In the beginning I was on Dante's side. In the end I was on Esme's because Dante had been ridiculed by her so many times that he was so distrustful. I did really enjoy this story. I've read it twice. Don't listen to the negative reviews.

Faith I Branko: Gypsy Lover review – Anglo-Serbian duo with remarkable back story

Dante intended to deny the title, wealth, and estate that his English grandfather is pushing on him. However, when Lord Alston is murdered and set up to look like suicide, Dante cannot let the murder of his kin go unpunished. He will accept the title and use everything in his power to locate the killer. After all, she has already proven that she is not immune to his charms.

Author Connie Mason does an excellent job of making the characters come alive.

In England, a gypsy woman dies in childbirth, but the boy Dante, sired by an aristocrat, survives. His grandfather the Marquis of Alston hides the birth of Dante from his son, Alex, the lad's biological father and pays the kid's maternal grandparents to raise him. Lord Alston regrets his decision of three decades ago; his son died ten years ago with no other heir and his nephew Calvin is a gambling wastrel. Alston knows that if Calvin becomes Marquis, the proud name will quickly dissolve into bankruptcy. A desperate Alston modifies his will recognizing Dante as heir with the stipulation that he marry Lady Esme Harcourt within six months of gaining the title.

Dante wants nothing to do with his paternal grandfather and his title. However, when someone kills Lord Alston, Dante accepts this as a blood debt; he needs the title to walk in the exclusive circles he must step into to complete his quest of bringing the killer to Romany justice. Dante accepts the rider that Lady Esme be his wife especially since he has previously tasted her lips though he loathes that she is a purebred aristocrat; in turns Esme scorns gypsies.

This solid Georgian amateur sleuth romance is loaded with action but it is the lead couple who makes the tale so much fun to read. Dante and Esme may love each other, but each is loaded down with the heavy chains of prejudice. He detests the upper crust while she disdains the Romany. Gypsies were and still are looked down upon. Even though Esme felt physical attractions to Dante, he was still a no-good gypsy. But then she got to know him, his grandparents, and she softened to him.

In the beginning I was on Dante's side. In the end I was on Esme's because Dante had been ridiculed by her so many times that he was so distrustful. I did really enjoy this story. I've read it twice.
