DESCRIPTION

No good deed goes unpunished…and no blackguard unloved.

Lucien Grenier, Duke of Crewe, prides himself on his reputation – selfish, black, and wicked. Or, at least, that’s what he wants everyone to believe. What better way to keep society from discovering his secrets? But when rumors arise that he is doing good deeds for charities, children, reformers—even nuns—he has far more to lose than his wicked reputation; he might just lose his dukedom.

Jessamyn St Claire is determined to hit Lucien where it hurts most—his black reputation. Eight months ago, he ruined her sister, and now Jess wants retribution. Her plan? To take Lucien from rakehell to respected peer unless he marries her sister. But as Jess works to rehabilitate his character, she discovers that Lucien’s bad reputation is mere pretense. The more she uncovers, the more she learns of his goodness…and the more he captures her heart. Soon, it isn’t Amanda whom Lucien wants to marry but Jess.

Little does she know that there’s one remaining secret with the power to destroy them both…

REVIEW

A delightfully unique storyline where Jessamyn St Claire is out for revenge against Lucien Grenier, Duke of Crewe because he ruined her sister. One of the things I adored about this story was how ingenious Jessamyn was while ruining Lucien. The constant friction between them really gave the story the extra umph needed for this to be an outstanding read.

There were so many interesting things about Lucien’s character and when the reader finds out the real reason behind his behavior, they will fall in love with him like I did. I love how the author added an element of surprise around Lucien and then at the very end of the book she explains in detail some facts about the secret situation.

It is really hard for me to not give more detail about this book without giving it away, but I will say it made me cry and it made me happy. Her explanation at the end is true because I have experience in this area. Will you read this book and let me know if you agree with me?

Read Author Anna Harrington’s book it will delight you and make you think.
