Description:
A proper widow. A rakish marquess. He rescued her
from thieves, but will she be able to save him from himself?
When Violet
Laurens is rescued from highwaymen, the furthest thing from her mind is that
her heart might tumble next. She loves her independent life, no matter her
lonely bed. The handsome stranger reawakens the passion she thought buried
along with her husband, pushing her to new heights of desire. But she knows
it’s only a matter of time before he remembers his name and leaves her.
The
dissolute Marquess of Kittrick has vowed never to marry, causing a rift in his
family that sets him on the road just in time to do battle with ruffians intent
on stealing a lady’s coins—and more. Discovering the fiery wanton beneath the
widow’s oh-so-proper demeanor makes him want nothing more than to forget who he
is for just a bit longer. Maybe forever.
When Kit is
forced to acknowledge who he is, will the truth trump their shared passion, and
the love they can’t quite admit to? Or will Violet overcome her fear—and Kit
his dissolute ways--and be able to lay claim to A Marquess for Christmas?
My Thoughts:
I hate to be so predictable but she pretty much had me with the title. I am a softie when it comes to historical romances with 'pedigree'. I just get all weak knee'd at all the my Lord & my Lady 's.. Like a good accent, it just shoots right to me. With that out of the way, I loved Violet. She is a very strong character who knows what she wants and goes for it. *Warning- there are some pretty steamy "adult" scenes that were at some times inventive. I personally love a little steamy in my romance books but if you don't like it, I think you could skim thru them and still enjoy the book. I think we all know that he's going to get the girl in the end, it's a romance novel- they always do. :) My only complaint is that I wanted to see a bit more of the "Happily Ever After" part but even without that I still thought it ended nicely. A well written book that I wish I had in paperback so I could snuggle into bed with it and re-read :)
