3.0 out of 5 stars
Much better than first one, but fizzles out at the end
I loved the chemistry between the couple and the way they meet, but once they are married all of the issues they should have thrashed out before they tied the knot come to the fore and threaten to pull them apart. As do the villains.
Then the emphasis swings to the villains, and we lose the sizzle and spark we had hoped for. It could have been a much better and more sexy book with a lot more focus and precision. The ending was also quite predictable, and I am not impressed with Seger’s sudden change of heart after all his brooding. Still, it is a fast and fun read if you don’t mind the obvious, creaking plot and a hero who has nothing to recommend him except being a rake.
Not EVERY woman in the world, or in the regency period, woud want a rake willing to bonk anything that moved!
