Helpful Score: 3

This book consistently gets high reviews and I just do not understand why. I was very disappointed. There is never any justification for why Jessica loves Lord Dain. He certainly never does anything to earn it, aside from surviving a terrible childhood. There seem to be critical scenes missing early in the book where Jessica sees a different side of Dain and therefore can overlook his obnoxious behavior, but this doesn't happen. She just decides that she loves him; which is all the harder to believe because she is 27 years old and has never met any other man who even aroused her interest. How is this possible?

I just could not get over the contrived nature of their initial regard and that stopped me from enjoying the book the way that others have. The book definitely improves once Jessica shoots Dain, but it is not up to Loretta Chase's other work, particularly Miss Wonderful and Mr. Impossible.
