I liked this book, but not better than book #1 (In the thrill of the Night). It is a good conclusion to the Merry Widows series, though. The characters are very well developed. The author does a great job of describing the feelings and thoughts of the hero and heroine as their relationship grows. The hero helps the heroine to rediscover her sensuous side, and the heroine helps the hero to get back in touch with his idealistic youth. They are a catalyst for each other to make changes, but they don't try to change each other. Just like a real, successful relationship should be.
Overall, it is a good read and a lot more "deep" than your usual romance fare.

Excellent conclusion to another wonderful trilogy by Candice Hern. Well worth the time to read this book! Of the 3 Merry Widows, I think I enjoyed this book more than the other 2 altho I rated each book 4-stars.

The third and final full length novel in The Merry Widows series Lady be Bad spins a fantastic story. The other books have been engaging and exciting, but Lady be Bad throws together two people who you would never expect to see together. Grace Marlowe the respectable Bishops widow and the most notorious rake in all of London Lord Rochdale.
Lord Rochdale had never given Grace Marlowe much thought, she was not the type of woman he usually looks at. But thanks to a little bet with the gambler Lord Sheane he has set his eyes on the uptight widow. Or is she uptight at all? Once he sees her he sees just how beautiful Grace Marlowe truly is, with locks of blonde hair that fall like a golden waterfall, and figures that are classically perfect.
Follow this story as it takes us through the ups and downs, the worries and the possibilities. Hern has wrapped this one up in a nice little package and it is the perfect way to end the series on a high note. If I had to pick a favorite of the books I would pick this one. I am almost sad to see the series end but if it had to this was the perfect way.

Each story improved. Very enjoyable.
