From Amazon.com: Meagan Tavistock could easily see how Alexander had earned the nickname Mad, Bad Duke. His deep blue eyes promised sinful pleasure, his touch burned through the silk of her dress, and his rich voice intimated that as soon as they were skin to skin, he’d fulfill desires she didn’t even know she had. When a love spell missed its intended target, Meagan could no longer resist the temptation...until the magic wore off, leaving the pair in a most compromising position. Their only option was a marriage that thrust Meagan into a new world of high danger, dark secrets, and a passion so intense she couldn’t help wondering: Was it the lingering power of the spell or true love at last?
I adored this book, the second book I've read by Jennifer Ashley, the other being "The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie. I adored "Ian Mackenze," and it's a toss up as to which book I loved more.
Ms. Ashley writes a very convincing love story, in that she lets the reader "see" the two protagonists fall in love. Her story is also never predictable, which is is very refreshing. This is a historical story, set in Regency England, yet it also contains a bit of the paranormal, giving it a unique flavor among romance tales. Her primary characters--the hero and heroine--are interesting, as are the secondary characters, who are well-drawn, giving the story additional depth. As I said, I loved this story, and I will certainly read more by this author.
Rating: 5 stars
