Detective Jackson Forge can hardly wait to marry the street-sly swindler who’s turned his life upside down. Kit Turner is equally excited to wed the handsome detective, and what better way to show her love than providing him with a gift any man of the law would love? She determines to bring to justice the men who years ago maimed his brother—despite Jackson’s warning to leave the past in the past. As she digs into the mystery of what happened, she unwittingly tumbles into her own history and endangers her future happiness with Jackson.

My Thoughts:
What an adventure this continuation of Jackson and Kit's story was. Such fiery passion coupled with some serious stubbornness made this a read that was riveting all the while wondering if these two will ever be husband and wife.
Inspector Jackson and former street swindler Kit are just weeks from getting married. Both can hardly wait to start their lives together as they love each other fiercely. In all the wedding hubbub, Jackson is still working with the help of Kit and her investigating. Jackson meanwhile is offered a job that pays very well, yet he cannot take his new bride on this adventure, and he will be away for a year. As much as he could use the money, he does not want to leave Kit for a whole year.
Kit has plans of her own especially when it concerns the wedding gift she wants to give to Jackson. This gift though, is one that will not be so easy to get and could very well be dangerous in the acquiring. Unfortunately, it just might keep her from the man she loves. Will Kit ever learn to let things go? Or at the very least confide in someone?
The authenticity of the language and the street scenes set the atmosphere and backdrop of this highly anticipated read. My heart was beating hard for Kit and Jackson to just open their eyes and let go of some of their stubbornness and embrace one another. They loved each other so much, but sometimes were blinded by their own selves. Needless to say, this was quite an adventure, and I enjoyed every minute of it.
I was provided a copy of this novel from the publisher. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.

A Visit to Borough Market
Whenever I skip across the pond, I make it a point to stop at the Borough Market for some great meals. This area was—and is—a popular place to shop and an absolute must-see for food lovers. From grocers, fishmongers, cheese sellers, and butchers to all kinds of ethnic eats, it’s hard not to want to sample everything. My personal favorite are the buddha bowls.
Believe it or not, Borough market has been in operation for the past thousand years. Yes, you read that correctly. It actually began as a bridge, constructed in 990. But let’s fast forward to the Victorian era, shall we?
In the nineteenth century, a railway viaduct was constructed through the middle of the market, which brought in more people—but also brought in more noise, soot, disruption, and crime. In such a hotbed of activity, it’s easy to imagine cutpurses and pickpockets of all sorts.
And that’s the perfect scene for a certain con-artist turned investigator to meet with an informant. In The Bride of Blackfriars Lane, Kit Turner is up to her old shenanigans, much to Jackson’s chagrin. You can visit Borough Market along with her in this wild ride through Victorian London. It’s just one of the many stops in a city that never gets old.
