Features & Highlights

  • Nominated for the prestigious romance Rita award!
  • John Fitzhugh Wyckerly has been the spare heir all his life, supporting himself with gambling and charm. The news that he’s inherited the bankrupt title of Earl of Danecroft shatters his indolent world. Even penniless, he’s always paid his debts, but now the estate’s creditors are closing in. He can fake his death and run for cover...or accept overwhelming responsibility and find a rich wife—one who will also accept his illegitimate terror of a daughter. On his way to find an heiress, he meets Abigail Merriweather, who is neither rich nor aristocratic, but she can tame The Terror and stomp cockroaches. Unfortunately, she needs a wealthy, powerful man who will fight her father’s executor and retrieve her four half-siblings. When an unexpected inheritance falls into Abby’s lap, she sets out for London to seek a lawyer. Can Fitz charm his practical Abby into trusting him to save her siblings when it’s doubtful that he can even save himself? And can Abby surrender reason and logic for the folly of love offered by a man who can have any woman he wants but insists he wants only her? * Nominated for the prestigious Romance Writers of America RITA® award! * Booklist Top Ten Romance

This was just okay

This was just okay. I love Patricia Rice and I tried very hard to like this book I just couldn't. I found the couple’s meeting to be a little far-fetched. There were also too many children! They took center stage over the H & h a few too many times for my taste! Sorry I don't like kids, not sorry...kids tend to take the romance out of the story. The book was a little drawn out. I thought it could have done without the siblings run away adventure/drama. The suspense of someone trying to kill Danecroft concluded in a rather boring and implausible explanation. I personally could have used more steam and sex...This isn't a ya novel people...Critiques aside I liked the characters and as per usual enjoyed Rice's writing. Her books are much more intelligent than a lot of the romance drivel out there. It was cliché and cheesy at times but a pleasant and suspenseful read. I have read, probably, 12 books by Patricia Rice and I strongly recommend her as an author. WARNING: there is sex in this book, it is not erotica, but enough to be a steamy & hot adult romance. Please do not read if you are looking for something PG. Romance-3/5 Steaminess-2/5 Explicitness-2/5
