OK, so now I know that the handsome, super rich, faithful, bad boy with a heart of gold I've been looking for actually exists....in The Devil's Own Luck, I knew it was too good to be true.Even though I usually don't read romances, this one caught my interest and kept me reading. As opposed to most stories in which the happy ending means a wedding or at least an engagement, this story starts with a wedding.Cecelia and Rand are forced to marry after a very steamy night in a shed. They have known each other all their lives since their families were very close. Rand was always carefree in his life and relationships and Cecelia was always headstrong and not afraid of anything while at the same time bred to be a proper English Lady. Now they are married and Rand inherits a title that brings him more responsibility than joy.Rand's past keeps popping up in their married life in ways that are funny like with his wards, sometimes malicious like the gossip Cecelia hears, and sometimes dangerous like the things Rand did during time of the war with Napoleon.And the love scenes were very steamy and frequent, making me wish I was Cecelia!
