I enjoyed Daring the Duke of Dangerfield, so I was looking forward to reading the next book in the series - but this one was not on a par with it at all.First, the writing wasn't up to scratch. There were far too many instances when I had to stop, reread then scan ahead just to work out who was talking or whose POV we were in.And shining - as in her eyes or his eyes or even the sun were shining is NOT spelled SHINNING!!!Then there were the unrealistic 'you are kidding me' moments - the highly unrealistic actions the h takes.I liked Marcus, the H. He was well written, and his character had loads of life and substance. But the h? Meh.It also beggared belief that the h's father, after knowing full well the villain's role in destroying the h's future, would then turn around and invest in the villain's business! Excuse me?And 10 years later, the h has the brains to devise a plan to get her revenge on the villain, to put that plan into action, and then with all the cards in her hand, not only betrays to the villain her part in his downfall, but then places herself unprotected in a situation where he can confront her; AND goes to pieces when he does, thereby giving all the power back to him!I like the sound of Henry, so I might read the next instalment, but it won't be soon. I need to get over the disappointment of this one first.
