Vesta Chambers, coddled and pampered since her mother's death, is preparing for her come-out, only to have her father return from London with a bride of his own! With her world turned upside down, Vesta accompanies her godmother, Diana, to London, where she is smitten the instant she lays eyes on Captain Hewett DeVere of the Seventeenth Light Dragoons.
Captain Hew DeVere, younger brother to Vesta's godfather, Viscount Ludovic "The Devil" DeVere, has returned from the American war scarred, disillusioned, and looking forward to settling down to a quiet and respectable life. When Hew turns his eyes toward the widowed Diana Chambers, Vesta is prepared to take extreme measures to prove just how wrong he is. But, Hew didn't survive the worst of the war only to succumb to Vesta's wayward wiles.
A hilarious romantic romp that pits a would-be huntress against a gallant hero in an epic war of wills.
"The "Devil DeVere" series is a variation on the rake's progress, or the rake's reformation, except that is doesn't start with said rake as the main character--a device that is amazingly clever on Vane's part and allows her to circle in on DeVere without revealing too much at the outset. In the first two books DeVere is the puppet master, rearranging his friends' lives. But in the background, readers catch hints that there's more to him than the debauched reprobate they see. By the time we find out his story, we're invested. The series is erotic and sexy, and sometimes you want to shake the characters until their teeth rattle, but it is absolutely marvelous. This one should be read with bonbons. And a fan!" - Marlene Harris for Library Journal

The Virgin Huntress The Devil DeVere Book 2 edition by Victoria Vane Tara Chevrestt Romance eBooks
For her second book in The Devil Devere series author Victoria Vane has presented us with another unexpectedly outspoken heroine who's not afraid to go after what she wants. Lady Vesta is The Virgin Huntress who's completely enamored of her godfather's young brother who unfortunately has eyes only for her godmother Diana. Captain Hewett considers her vapid and immature which leads to a series of over the top acts to capture his attention. I tend to agree with Hewett's impression of her and found her poutiness over her father's new bride grating and selfish. Everything has to be about her, and with the exception of Hewett, those around her let her get away with everything calling her high-spirited. In most books it's the hero who plans to kidnap the heroine, but in this book Vesta drugs Hewett and encloses them together on a ship at sea where she'll make him love her. It's an unorthodox plan that results in a surprising end in my opinion but completely expected considering that Vesta always gets what she wants.Whereas the heroine left me cold, the same can't be said for the hero. I enjoyed Captain Hewett and his appreciation for what older woman Diana could give him. After the harshness of war he wants a calming influence beside him and doesn't see that in Vesta. He's never cruel to Vesta in explaining why he doesn't see them together, just honest. After the horrors of war he deserves happiness and I wish he were presented with a different, more worthy heroine. If I didn't truly believe Diana and Devere were perfect for each then I would've been rooting for Hewett and Diana.
The heroine in the previous Devil Devere book balanced outspokenness and spunkiness perfectly. Unfortunately that's not the case here. Vesta came off as immature with a tendency to look before she leapt. Their pairing would always make me see Hewett as the father trying to keep Vesta out of trouble. They're definitely not equals. The pace of the story moves along briskly though keeping the reader entertained. The sexual interludes again reflect Vesta's immaturity and Hewett's infinite patience with her while keeping it steamy. In the bedroom is the only place where I felt their relationship worked. The inequalities made for a satisfyingly believable encounter.
While a bit of a let down from the previous book, I still voraciously consumed every moment involving Devere and Diana. Their unspoken yet intriguing past has me chewing at the bit for their story and their few interactions were ripe with sexual tension. The hero in this story was extremely likable and charming and it's easy to see, through their prowess in the bedroom, that he and Devere are related. The heroine wasn't a favorite of mine but all the other characters kept me reading and breathlessly waiting for the next book in the series.

The Virgin Huntress The Devil DeVere Book 2 edition by Victoria Vane Tara Chevrestt Romance eBooks Reviews
I really didn't care for the heroine in this story. She sets eyes on the hero and decides to have him no matter what. The problem with what is she constantly endangers others to achieve her goal. I assume she is to come across as spirited, but I found her to be childish and spoiled.
No sooner has she said she sorry for her behavior, she proceeds to pull another stupid and dangerous stunt. SPOILER If the hero was smarter he would let her go overboard and congratulate himself with her good riddance.
The writing and story were good, I just didn't like the heroine. This is a steamy one -- if that sort of storyline offensive to the reader, they should skip this one.
This book picks up from The Wild Night's Bride Vesta Chambers is so upset that her father comes home with a new bride.Vesta is a spoiled brat. She does not want to be in the same house with the actress bride her father married after about 3 days of knowing her.Her Aunt Diane who was her God Mother suggested to go to London for the season. She spots Captain Hewett Devere in the park and decides she loves him and will marrry him. When she gets home she sees him with her Aunt and interested in her not Vesta.Diane has a history of Hew's brother called Devil DeVere for his debauchery with women.In this book you don't find out the history between Devil and Diane but it had not ended well. Vesta is determined to get Hew for himself so she goes to her godfather Devil to help her.I thought it was an unusual idea how she went about making him her own The book is funny and sexy. Victoria Vane is a wonderful writer. The book will lead over to the next one about Devil and Diane can't wait to read it.
Lady Vesta Chambers is just a little more than upset with her father. He was supposed to be finding them a house in London for her coming out, and instead he falls in love and gets married. Vesta always thought that her father would eventually marry her godmother, Diana.
Diana kind of had hopes of the same, so now that marrying Ned is out of the question, Diana volunteers to take Vesta to London herself. Ned agrees to the two women being on their own only if they promise to contact Viscount Ludovic DeVere if they are in need of anything. Diana isn't fond of Mr. DeVere, but agrees to Ned's terms never intending to actually be calling on him.
Once in London, the two women are enjoying themselves immensely. Vesta has always done as she pleases and insists on taking her early morning rides while in town. It is during one of these rides that she sees the man of her dreams. The Seventeenth Light Dragoons are riding by and Vesta is immediately taken by the man leading them.
Captain Hewett DeVere, is the younger brother and heir to Viscount DeVere, the Devil DeVere. He has returned home from the war in America, scarred and more than ready to settle down and start a family. Hew is quickly drawn to Diana and doesn't seem to notice Vesta. Used to getting what she wants, Vesta schemes to make Hew notice she is a woman and not a little girl.
I really enjoyed reading The Virgin Huntress by Victoria Vane. The book is fantastic; the characters quickly find their way into your heart. They are very well written and have so much depth and dimension. The world building is great; I thought I was back in Regency England. Ms. Vane pens another great story full of sensual romance, a lot of wit and fun, and a few shenanigans. Vesta is a spoiled brat who is so used to getting what she wants that she's actually shocked that Hew isn't interested in her for a wife. I will say that Vesta is very determined and very creative in her quest of getting Hew to love her. It's easy not to like her because she is so spoiled, but as the story progressed, I found myself liking her more and more. I enjoyed seeing Vesta grow into a sensuous woman. Hewett is always a gentleman first and foremost, and I liked him immediately. I had to chuckle out loud during some of Vesta's wilder plans and how they played out. If you like stories that are entertaining, has great detail with some humor, The Devil DeVere series is just right. I recommend reading this series in order. I'll be reading the next book, The Devil You Know, soon.
