She lives for passion.

Bold, impulsive, and a magnet for trouble, Juliana Fiori is no simpering English miss. She refuses to play by society's rules: she speaks her mind, cares nothing for the approval of the ton, and can throw a punch with remarkable accuracy. Her scandalous nature makes her a favorite subject of London's most practiced gossips . . . and precisely the kind of woman The Duke of Leighton wants far far away from him.

He swears by reputation.

Scandal is the last thing Simon Pearson has room for in his well-ordered world. The Duke of Disdain is too focused on keeping his title untainted and his secrets unknown. But when he discovers Juliana hiding in his carriage late one eveningâ??risking everything he holds dearâ??he swears to teach the reckless beauty a lesson in propriety. She has other plans, however; she wants two weeks to prove that even an unflappable duke is not above passion.

Prelim Review: Eleven Scandals to Start When Writing a Book Review XD

Not really though, I had been looking forward to this book the most (though gobsmack me the pink hurts my eyes).

Full review to be posted at Poisoned Rationality ( )

Libro giĂ  letto in passato ma sempre bellissimo.

Bellissima la storia della sorellastra di Nicholas e Gabriel, Juliana Fiori e del Duca di Leighton Simon Pearsom altero e bellissimo che, nonostante i suoi pregiudizi, soccomberĂ  al fascino italiano della bellissima Juliana.

I just couldn't get into this one. I am not a fan of the plot line in which the heroine chases the hero. While I like an insecure heroine, Juliana's lack of self-respect bothered me. It wasn't that she didn't think well of herself, it was that she chased and chased and chased Simon despite his lack of encouragement. It made me annoyed with her. (2.5 stars) ( )

3.5 stars - this was my least favourite of the trilogy. I didn’t find Simon to be all that compelling. I found that character to be weak and the plot to be a bit repetitive. ( )

A good romp, no special merit. Good characters, Juliana Fiori, as the half-Italian daughter of a scandalous mother, makes an appealing appearance. Her protagonist, the Duke of Disdain, is appropriately haughty. Lots of missteps, near scandals, and an excellent finale add to the pleasure. ( )

Epigraph
Un momento con una donna capricciosa
vale undici anni di vita noiosa.
A single moment with a fiery female
is worth eleven years of a boring life.

Dedication
For Carrie, with love and gratitude. Thanks for getting me to back to Base Camp.
