When I began reading the Rarest Blooms series it didn't take long for Tristan, the Duke of Castleford, to become my favorite character. He is reckless, scandalous and doesn't give a damn what anyone thinks of him or his actions. His complete uncaring indifference to the opinions of the ton endeared him to me and his antics in each book only strengthened my opinion. I was almost saddened by his inevitable downfall when I learned he was the hero of Dangerous in Diamonds. However, knowing it would be Daphne Joys that took the great man down softened the blow. The story was wonderful. It was so good, that I spent the entire day reading it. For almost a straight seven hours I did nothing but lose myself in their world. It's a shame that he will no longer be a reckless rogue in any future books but I know Madeline Hunter will find a way to entice me with her future heroes.
