For this reckless widow, love is the most dangerous game of all.Caroline, Lady Beaumont, arrives in London seeking excitement after ten dreary years of marriage and an even drearier year of mourning. That means conquering society, dancing like there's no tomorrow, and taking a lover to provide passion without promises. Promises, in this dashing widow's dictionary, equal prison. So what is an adventurous lady to do when she loses her heart to a notorious rake who, for the first time in his life, wants forever?Devilish Silas Nash, Viscount Stone is in love at last with a beautiful, headstrong widow bent on playing the field. Worse, she's enlisted his help to set her up with his disreputable best friend. No red-blooded man takes such a challenge lying down, and Silas schemes to seduce his darling into his arms, warm, willing and besotted. But will his passionate plots come undone against a woman determined to act the mistress, but never the wife?… (more)

After reading a short bit of this, I remembered I had read this before, much to my embarrassment (this is why I review so I don't buy and reread unless I want to) . But I continued on as it's a short read and I didn't remember much of the story. The hero is a likable guy (Silas, Lord Stone) though the dashing widow, Caro, is an immature brat, unable to decide what she wants: a lover or Lord Stone. He's in love with her, but she's afraid an affair will ruin their friendship (as if her dithering isn't having the same effect).
I usually like Ms. Campbell's books which is why I continued, but now I remember why this one was so forgettable. The ending is abrupt. I felt like I was missing chapters. This has the potential to be a better book than it is, but unfortunately and even though I read it twice, it wasn't worth it. ( )
