I am apparently reading this series backwards. There is no designation in the title to
indicate this, but I first read the third book in the series. I didn’t realize this until I started reading
this book and realized that this one takes place prior to the one I had just
finished and that there is another one which is the first book. Not that it has ruined anything for me. It is obvious when reading this type of book
that you will get a HEA for the hero and heroine.
Summary:
Clarissa is the little sister of Justin Rodale’s best
friend. She is off limits. Justin is the owner of a gaming hell in
London and the illegitimate child of the Duke of Chanceworth. Being illegitimate puts him just on the
fringe of proper society. Clarissa is
bound and determined to marry herself off to George Wilburton whom her deceased
sister-in-law recommended. Clarissa
realizes she needs some help and goes to Justin for guidance. Both Justin and Clarissa agree they are
unsuitable, but they can’t keep their hands to themselves.
Thoughts:
The third book has more action/adventure than this one
did. They are both short and sweet so I
enjoyed that. Overall, the writing was
well done, but the storyline could have used a bit more fleshing out. Like we never learned what happened to Lady
Manchester’s will and her nasty cousin! It also took me forever to finish. I would read a bit, then read another book, then read a bit more.
