After such a wonderful beginning to this new series (How to Marry a Duke), I was disappointed with this rather bland installment. I didn't like this one nearly as much as the first. To me the plot seemed to drag and didn't really become interesting until Hawk's big secret is revealed (the last quarter of the book). Also, Hawk took his duties as Julianne's guardian too seriously which made him unreasonably overbearing and hard for me to like him. Julianne's part as the secret author of a scandalous publication wasn't exciting and didn't click with me. On the other hand, they did share a nice sexual chemistry, which saved their appeal as a couple. Although I'll give this a full star less than the one I gave for the first book, I'm far from giving up on this new author, and I'm still looking forward to her next book. 3.5 stars.
