Publisher's Summary

Love begets madness. Viscount Locksley watched it happen to his father after his cherished wife's death. But when his sire arranges to marry flame-haired fortune hunter Portia Gadstone, Locke is compelled to take drastic measures to stop the stunning beauty from taking advantage of the marquess. A marriage of mutual pleasure could be convenient, indeed, as long as inconvenient feelings don't interfere.

Desperation forced Portia to agree to marry a madman. The arrangement will offer the protection she needs. Or so she believes until the marquess' distractingly handsome son peruses the fine print...and takes his father's place!

Now the sedate - and, more importantly, secure - union Portia planned has been tossed in favor of one simmering with wicked temptation and potential heartbreak. Because as she begins to fall for her devilishly seductive husband, her dark secrets surface and threaten to ruin them both - unless Locke is willing to risk all and open his heart to love.

Loved and hated this book at the same time

I loved Locke and Marsden. Marsden especially was my favourite character in this book. Despite that I couldn't bring myself to read his book 'When the Marquees Falls'. I knew I would cry my eyes out. Last big little bits about his Linnie and their love was enough. Seeing the happiness return to him after Locke and Portia wed.

I do not understand though how come in these books the men are just called by their title for the majority, if not all of the book? Locke whose name as Killian was rarely addressed by his first name. Portia addressed him as Locksley instead of his nickname Locke. Marsden was Marsden and I don't know his name. The Duke of Ashbury is Ashe and the Earl of Greyling should be Grey but because he is the second Earl is still Edward?

I can understand in formal settings but to family and friends being addressed by title name? Seems really weird to me.

My second frustration with this book and I fully understand why Portia kept the pregnancy to herself until after the marriage given the circumstances she had come from and what it was like for women in those.

I do not support keeping the lie going for 3\4 of the book when the heroine has come to know her husband and his character and so therefore can disclose the true facts furthermore when the hero asks her to reveal her possibly more than once is this not the right opportunity to unburden yourself when they ask?!! But no you say nothing and pass it off as his until the truth comes out.... Why?

With heroine keeping the truth hidden for not of the book despite her other likable qualities, I just couldn't warm up to her.

As I said Locke, but especially Marsden were my favourite part of this book apart from maybe the ending even though that in itself is bittersweet.

The narrator is well.... I definitely didn't keep listening for great story telling skills but to see how the book finished.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
