Publisher Description
Tessa Dare spins a witty, wanton tale of passion and conquest, as a reformer and a rake find unexpected love.
Only one thing could convince Sir Tobias Aldridge, an incorrigible libertine, to profess undying fidelity to a woman he’s just met. Revenge. What better way to get back at an enemy than by stealing the scoundrel’s sister? Not that Toby finds it a chore, seducing a beguiling, sultry beauty freshly arrived from the West Indies. When the prize is Isabel Grayson, vengeance is doubly rewarding.
Isabel is determined to marry a wealthy, powerful lord and become a lady of influence, using her rank and fortune to fight social injustice. Sir Toby, with his paltry title and infamous reputation, is unsuitable husband material–but he makes her blood race, her heart pound, and her long-buried passions come to the surface. If she can reform the charming devil, she’ll get exactly what she craves: society’s respect. But it’s a dangerous gamble. For if Toby wins this battle of persuasion, Isabel could lose her heart.
Customer Reviews
I would read Teresa Dare’s other books 1st
While I applaud her writing always exploring different characters and personalities this particular book I struggled to engage with either of the leads. I can’t put my finger on why? There have definitely been other stories where the characters were more removed from my interest and personality-but I liked them and wanted to know what would happen. So perhaps the author didn’t like these leads as much either. Even as my least favorite full novel by Teresa Dare it still ranks as high or higher than any other average romance. She just has such great attention to detail, plot development, steamy romance, and character tie ins from other novels that I would still recommend reading it as part of the series.
Fun and low stakes
Very lighthearted “revenge marriage” that makes you like both the main characters. I think the steamy scenes are very well integrated too.
