In Confessions of a Diabolical Lover by Dorothy Cosey. We are in the seventeenth century where Lord Oden Lawson is a troubled man because while sleeping with a servant Inez, he realizes he loves her and cannot marry her due to what society would think. As he seeks to find a suitable woman to marry, he can't seem to get his mind off Inez. During this time his cousin Lady Victoria Mellon is staying with him due to the fact she was molested by an Earl whom she is supposed to marry. Will Lord Oden find a acceptable wife or will he get the courage to marry Inez and why does Lady Victoria want to stay with Oden?

Dorothy Cosey's Confessions of a Diabolical Lover has a remarkable romantic theme set in the Seventeenth Century in England, where nobility was very important. You see in your mind how people in the Seventeenth Century thought and acted. I felt it was extremely well written with and there were no problems with grammar and the characters came alive with the dialog that Mrs. Cosey wrote. The climax was one that I was not expected and I commend Mrs. Cosey on such a interesting ending. Confessions of a Diabolical Lover is not your run of a mill historical romance by any means and this reviewer highly recommends this novel.
