After knowing each other for only a short time, businessman Rhys Winterborne became engaged to Lady Helen Ravenel, hoping their marriage would help him be accepted in society. But a misunderstanding and interference from a family member broke their engagement. Helen still wants to marry Rhys, so she goes to his place of work to try to explain what happened. After an honest discussion, Rhys agrees to reinstate the engagement, but he has conditions. Rhys wants to make sure no one can stop the marriage this time.
The second book in The Ravenel series is not what I expected. Rhys was a fantastic hero. His approach to marriage may have seemed cold blooded, but it didn't take long before he fell for our heroine. Helen may have been sheltered but she did not seem as meek and mild as she was in the first book. Helen knew her mind and went after what she wanted...Rhys.
I loved this book. The characters were fun. The author didn't take the predictable route with this story, and I appreciated it. My rating: 5 Stars.

Helen and Rhys meet in book 1 (Cold Hearted Rake). This picks up where that one left off. Helen approaches Rhys to reinstate their engagement. He agrees; but with conditions. Helen was, or at least seemed, very meek, fragile in the first book. I'm happy to report my first impression was wrong. She does learn to stand up for herself and is more assertive. Rhys intimidates her and she is able to make him understand/get past that. There are revelations regarding Helen's paternity. I thought this added a nice twist and was handled well.
I adore the twins, Pandora and Cassandra. I look forward to their stories. Pandora invents a game in this one (Rhys has said he would sell it in his store if he liked the idea/thought it would sell) and has a patent pending. I want to know if she gets it and if so, is the game successful? I hope to find out.
