She works to live . . . One would think the last place a beauty like Fallon O'Rourke could keep her virtue was in the Mayfair mansion of London's most licentious duke, the notorious Dominic Hale. Yet Fallon--who's endured nothing but lecherous advances since her father's tragic death--is perfectly safe there . . . disguised as a footman! Beneath the notice of the dark-haired devil with his smoldering blue eyes and sinful smile, Fallon never imagines her secret will be discovered. But how long can her deception last when she begins to wish she is one of the many women traipsing in and out of the sinful rogue's bedchamber? He lives to sin . . . Most men envy the duke, never suspecting his pleasure-loving ways are a desperate attempt to escape, however briefly, the pain of a past that's left him with a heart of stone. Only one woman can break down his defenses. Only one woman can win his love . . . if she reveals her secret and succumbs to the sins of the wicked duke.… (more)

I liked the duke. ( )
  aeryn0 | Jul 23, 2023 |
I do like a Cinderella storyline. While the heroine was passingly described as plain, it wasn't significant enough to warrant this book being placed on that specific shelf. Poor girl with a childhood full of abuse and pain dresses up in trousers to get a decent wage (can't argue with that). Most of the angst was about the dissolute behavior of the rake hero; I prefer the angst to be focused around insecurity and healing from trauma. But still a good read. I'll be checking out the rest of the trilogy. (3.5 stars) ( )

First book I’ve read by Sophie Jordan and was impressed. Enjoyed the pacing and characters, will definitely read the rest of the series. ( )

Very entertaining read but not terribly realistic. 3.5/5 ( )

I read the book a year ago but keep coming up on it in recomendations, which in and of itself means I wholly recommend it. Best book in the series, the sequels i couldn't finish because the writing style somehow became bland and prosy. I loved this books heroine, best protration of her hands down. ( )
