Helpful Score: 4
My review from Amazon - I checked this one out of the library first, but ran out and bought my own as soon as I finished it. It was much better than I expected. Yes, the two main characters cannot stand each other - which is what makes it so intriguing that they can't keep their hands off one another in private. I think their mutual dislike in public starts off as genuine but quickly becomes mostly a facade, as they don't want to admit that they misjudged one another. By the end, they are very romantic and that makes love scenes that had been merely erotic into ones that are more sensual and loving. Give this book a chance, you may be as pleasantly surprised as I was.
IF YOU WANT STEAMY, THIS IS IT.
Recent widow Lady Diandra Reynell returns to London from India and comes face to face with her arrogant stepson, Justin, who believes that Diandra may be responsible for the murder of his father and vows to uncover the truth, regardless of his forbidden passion for the lovely widow, in an erotic tale of love and adventure.
Lots of suspense, who done it and crazy sexual encounters. Really enjoyed it despite my initial misgivings.
