Wicked, wicked--the oh, so very delicious kind of wicked, the kind where a mature couple indulges in a lovely and satisfying intellectual and (very) carnal relationship. Woohoo!
True to form, Gareth was irresistible with a reputation to match. Despite being the bastard son of a duke, he had a supportive relationship with his surviving half-brothers (intriguing men sure to have their own stories told), he was self-supporting (an art broker), and he loved his mother (you gotta love the man who loves his mom). Eva, a young-ish spinster, struggled to support a younger sister and herself with what she considers her practice paintings. She's good, though she doesn't realize quite how good, and inadvertently gets herself in hot water. Gareth was on a mission to discover the crook behind a fraudulent art scheme and while the two fell into mutual attraction, then lust, then love, they unknowingly worked at cross-purposes.
By the way, Gareth's marriage proposal blew me away. Can't say that I have ever read one like that before, so look for it!
I don't remember why Hunter's name fluttered off my must-read list in the first place, but she has firmly lodged her place there now, especially if the Wicked trilogy continues to deliver tempting heroes, smart women, and darned good writing. I tell you, fellow romance enthusiasts, you'll enjoy this one. His Wicked Reputation earned a strong 4-star rating and was a golden beginning in Hunter's newest trilogy.
