Katherine Fleming has lived her life without even a hint of indiscretion. So she is devastated to discover the nobleman she's engaged to has a secret he's kept from her: a wife! Suddenly Katherine's enmeshed in a scandal that has the ton buzzing--and forced to accept a most unconventional proposal from the notorious seducer Dominic Mallory, her faithless fiancé's brother... and precisely the sort of rake she has sworn to avoid! Charming and dangerously sensual, Dominic has desired the stunning beauty from the first moment he spied her. Now, with Katherine's reputation in tatters, it's the ideal opportunity to bed her--though it will take wedding vows to do so. But can a rogue be reformed by the unleashed passion of a normally reserved lady? And can a marriage made for all the wrong reasons flame into the love match of the season?… (more)

Not much 'historical' in this Historical Romance. I had a hard time figuring out where and when the story was taking place. After awhile, you do find out it takes place in London, but there is nothing in the character's speech or any kind of atmosphere building that would indicate that. As for the 'when', you might guess the 1800's, with the mention of mistresses, bastards and a dowry and the clothing on the cover. Other than that, the basic premise was good, but there was not enough story and too much filler. 2.5/5 rounded up to 3 stars (

I enjoyed this book and the characters. Katherine and Dominic were perfect for each other, although neither would admit it, despite the fact that they started out married very early on. They were realistic in the different facets of their relationship. (

Dominic is a treat! Once I started, I didn't put it down.

Oh, how I loved Dominic! He was a tortured hero, my favorite kind! And Katherine was so strong, inside. The love scenes were beautiful. Great debut book, can't wait to read more. (
