Description
“If you’re in any way a lover of Renaissance art, this book will feel unbearably romantic and sexy. “ - Entertainment Weekly
Fans of Tessa Dare and Sarah MacLean will enjoy this historical romance with themes of self-confidence, feminism and activism.
Earl. War hero. Notorious rake. After the Battle of Waterloo, Eli Dawes was presumed dead-and would have happily stayed that way. He's no longer the reckless young man he once was, and only half as pretty. All he wants is to hide away in his country home, where no one can see his scars. But when he tries to sneak into his old bedroom in the middle of the night, he's shocked to find someone already there.
Rose Hayward remembers Eli as the arrogant lord who helped her late fiance betray her. Finding him stealing into her art studio doesn't correct her impression. Her only thought is to get him to leave immediately. Yet the tension between them is electric, and she can't help but be drawn to him. He might be back from the dead, but it's Rose who is suddenly feeling very, very much alive.

Last Night With The Earl is a wonderful steamy romance. Bowen spins a complex tale that beats a romantic heart all its own. Her characters are very well developed with deep layers. Truly a great foray into the world of England after Napoleon’s defeat. I can’t wait to read more from this talented author. A must read.
Angela D, Reviewer
Lovely, lovely, lovely. I am in awe of this story. A physically scarred hero and an emotionally scarred heroine. Right up my alley. Love the scarred hero. The underlying messages of “you are strong but I will always be there when you fall” and “beauty resides everywhere” resonates throughout the story. I swear I needed a whole box of tissues to make it through the sweet, caring, unselfish scenes. Eli and Rose are beautiful people who pull at your heart.

Kelly Bowen is one of my best finds in historical romance. Everything I have read by her, I have loved, so much so, that I am convinced she cannot write a bad book. This is book two of the Devils of Dover series, and it even surpasses my high praise for the earlier A Duke in the Night.
Bowen does a masterful job of showing how the bleak and barren outlook both Rose and Eli have on life is transformed as these two damaged souls find solace in the other. The tendrils of their growing vulnerability and trust with each other are fragile in the beginning, but strengthen over time as do their growing inner confidence and belief in themselves. As Rose said to Eli, “The easy thing is rarely the right thing.” Their happiness with each other is hard-earned and that much more precious.
