I have to be honest and say that I can't remember enjoying a book more than this one in recent memory and I've been lucky recently. I thought this author was new to me but I'd read her short story in '5 Golden Rings' and really liked it. This story is about an H, who is consumed with having revenge on his late grandfather and an h whose failed 'engagement' has caused her reputation to be damaged. What makes this book brilliant is the villainess, she really kept me guessing what she was up to. The tension between the innocent and h and the rakish H was not overdone. I really did feel the love building between them and although I know these stories always end well, I was worried for a while. Highly recommended second book in a series and I've now downloaded the first and pre-ordered the third.+++Spoilers+++Only read if you really want to know why it didn't get the 5th star. Anyone who knows my reviews, knows I hate it when the H takes the h's innocence then leaves her. This happened right towards the end and I was really annoyed that the H didn't fight for her immediately. The risk of pregnancy etc. Still there was a very nice ending and our suffering didn't last long.
