I enjoyed the tension, banter and characters in this story. Lord Dain was a very complicated man who was merely existing until he met the fiery non conformist, Jessica Trent. This story will be a favorite. One that, I am sure, to read again and again. ( )

Very amusing book. I loved Jessica and her sense of humor and remarks. And the Sebastian was also very interesting character. Watching sparks fly and their interactions was very amusing. Great book to read when you want to relax or if you are a historical-romance fan. ( )

I couldn't finish it, sadly... I guess I just wasn't in the right mood... I'll try to re-read it later, maybe... ( )

I had to jog my memory, but this was a good one. I think I may have read it before. It all seemed quite... familiar... I like stories where the hero and heroine are... drawn to each other. Where they just can't get the other person out of their head, even though they KNOW it's not a good idea to like them... :) So I liked this book quite a lot... :) ( )

Book description
They call him many names, but Angelic isn't one of them . . .

Sebastian Ballister, the notorious Marquess of Dain, is big, bad, and dangerous to know. No respectable woman would have anything to do with the "Bane and Blight of the Ballisters"—and he wants nothing to do with respectable women. He's determined to continue doing what he does best—sin and sin again—and all that's going swimmingly, thank you . . . until the day a shop door opens and she walks in.

She's too intelligent to fall for the worst man in the world . . .

Jessica Trent is a determined young woman, and she's going to drag her imbecile brother off the road to ruin, no matter what it takes. If saving him—and with him, her family and future—means taking on the devil himself, she won't back down. The trouble is, the devil in question is so shockingly irresistible, and the person who needs the most saving is—herself!

Annotation

To rescue her foolish brother from financial ruin at the hands of an unscrupulous nobleman, Jessica Trent journeys to Paris and confronts Sebastian Ballister, the crafty nobleman. But he creates a scandal when he kisses her at a party. Thus begins the fiery relationship between the callow rake and the strong-willed beauty. Original.
Haiku summary

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0380776162, Mass Market Paperback)

Tough minded Jessica Trent's sole intention is to free her nitwit brother from the destructive influence of Sebastian Ballister, the notorious Marquess of Diain. She never expects to desire the arrogant, amoral cad. And When Daine's reciprocal passion places them in a scandalously compromising, and public, position, Jessica is left with no choice but to seek satisfaction... Damn the minx for tempting him, kissing him...and then for forcing him to salvage reputation! Lord Dain can't wait to put the infuriating bluestocking in her place -- and in some amorous position. And if this means marriage, so be it -- though Sebastian is less than certain he can continue to remain aloof...and steal his heart to the sensuous, head strong lady's considerable charms.
