"Delicious, delightful, and devilishly good reading..." -- Emily Hendrickson, author of The Rake's Revenge

Reformed rakes make the best husbands--or do they?

The beautiful and willful Clarissa Derhurst is on the hunt for a rake who an reform, and can give her the passion she needs to keep from becoming a vain, unhappy woman like her mother. When she meets Lord Wolviston, the ‘lone wolf’, she he might be it. No other man makes her heart beat so fast.

But can she reform his wicked ways...and is he even all that wicked?

Is he out to save her heart, or keep it for himself?

The new Lord Wolviston has come to London to sow a few belated wild oats. When he overhears that a beauty won't look twice at a respectable gentleman, he decides she needs a lesson--and this is just the lark he wanted. He’ll pretend to be a rake she won’t be able to reform.

But he starts to glimpse the passionate woman underneath Clarissa’s defenses..and then she attracts a real rake to her side. Now he must save Clarissa from herself. But how can he do that when he’s starting to want to seduce her himself?

    Highly Recommended

    I enjoyed this story. You have to start with the "A Compromising Situation" to know Clarissa Derhurst. Evan Fortesque, Lord Wolviston set out to teach her a lesson, ends up falling in love with her. She falls in love with him only to discover he was not a rake and his motive for doing is hurt. It is a love story. I have read it twice.

    disappointed

    It started well enough and kept promising to turn into something interesting but never did. The plot just seemed to go on and on and on, without much character development. She wanted to be loved because she was more than a pretty face but he only had one intimate conversation in the whole book and realized he loved her. I usually would recommend even a moderate book for the good parts but I'm not sure this book had any, totally disappointing.

    Not satisfying

    Heroine believes she needs to marry a Rake in order to have passion and that she'll reform him to become a faithful husband, in the meanwhile not wanting the mature guy standing there. In addition to this silly (and overworked plot), many of the phrases and lines just seemed too cliched. This book reminded me of why regency authors like Judith Landsdowne and Barbara Metzger are SO satisfying to read.
