Rake and avid gambler Jasper Finley, Baron Montford, takes on a wager which could totally damage his already tarnished reputation as a notorious seducer of women. After drinking too much and being unable to not rise to a dare, he finds himself agreeing to seduce an innocent woman.
Katherine Huxtable has had a sudden change in her life and circumstances. Her brother’s status has changed, meaning she must now come out in society. She’s also expected to find and wed a suitable husband, especially now that her sister Vanessa is wed to Lord Lyngate and her brother Stephen has become the Earl of Merton.
What Katherine hadn’t bargained on was the attraction she has to a rake. Drawn together despite themselves, Katherine avoids too much intimacy, while knowing Jasper is trying his hardest to seduce her. With a scandal brewing and her reputation falling apart, Katherine reluctantly agrees to marry him, but she’s still unsure of his true feelings and it shows.
The author has a way of making her characters come to life on the page, while dropping them into a suitable setting. This is a Regency tale where much of the stuffiness of life back then, has been edited out and some oddball characters have been added. This story is delightfully funny as the hero finds himself wanting to seduce the heroine, but finding he has a conscience after all. When he finds he doesn’t want to share her, but wants her as his wife, his life changes drastically. She has seen how dangerous to her his good looks are and is doing her utmost to resist his charms, but their sexual encounters were hot. The other characters, especially Aunt Prunella and Cousin Clarence, brought a very well written difference into the tale. If you’ve not read any of this authors books before, try this one and enjoy the experience.
THIS IS NOT AN ENDORSEMENT OF THIS BOOK. THIS IS AN OBJECTIVE UNBIASED REVIEW.
