Review: My first by Stacy Reid, but will not be my last!
Rating: 5 out of 5

The first thing I did after finishing The Duke's Shotgun Wedding was go to Stacy Reid's website to find out when her next book would be out. This was a novella--and outstanding novella!--and I can't wait to get my hands on a full-length novel by her. As a matter-of-fact, my only complaint about the books was it had to end. :-) The story begins with one of the best, kick-ass heroine moves ever! Lady Jocelyn Rathbourne bursts into the study of Sebastian Thornton, the Duke of Calydon, demanding satisfaction for his brother's broken promises toward her. With a pistol. How could you not love a book that starts like that? LOL! But from that point on the story never flagged. What follows is a sweet but HOT love story with complicated emotions, family loyalty, secrets, and healing. And hot love scenes. Did I mention that already? In a novella, Ms. Reid packed so much. I love brooding, icy heroes with a cauldron of emotion seething beneath the surface, and that is Sebastian! And Jocelyn is more than his match with her courage, stubbornness, and huge heart. A wonderful love story with heat and heart. Loved it. Give me more, Stacy Reid!
