review 1: This book started off a bit slow for me which is why I didn't give it five stars. I couldn't bring myself to like either character that much until a quarter of the way into the book. Things really picked up after that and I enjoyed seeing both characters grow. The writing and storyline are both great. I even liked the twists at the end. I admit I didn't see one of them coming which is always a plus.
review 2: Charm, wit, and nerves of steel have helped Marcus Lithgow gamble his way across the Continent. But when his heart is at stake, all bets are off for this most perfect rogue . . .Anne Brotherton is sick and tired of being an heiress. She cannot bring herself to marry a fortune hunter. Why can't men like her for her sharp mind and kind heart rather than her
... moreimpressive dowry? Just when she is about to bow to her fate as a confirmed spinster, she meets the handsome and charming Marcus Lithgow.It's been years since Marcus set foot in England—why toy with the ton when he can fleece wealthy fools in Paris and Rome? Yet everything changes when he inherits a ramshackle estate. Marcus's first and only chance at a respectable life needs funding . . . the kind Anne Brotherton can provide. Such a wallflower should be ripe for the picking. So why does Marcus feel like he's the one hanging by a thread?She nearly falls for Marcus's smooth seduction. But when Anne realizes she's being strung along, a lust for payback empowers her like never before. Two can play the game of deception. The game of love, however, has its own rules . . .I just finished this and LOVED it! I loved watching Marcus grow into his own man. Watching the changes in him from the scoundrel to a man trying to change for the better was amazing! He was such a great hero for the book because behind his façade of the money hungry scoundrel was the sweetest, caring, lonely man. You couldn’t help but fall in love with him. Anne was a great character to watch grow as well. Seeing her go from the guarded, suspicious & reserved girl to the outspoken, lively & opinionated woman she became was fantastic! I enjoyed learning about Roman architecture and some of the findings in Wiltshire. This book had a little something for everyone: growth, theft, courage, danger, adventure, murder. Scandal, trysts, love, money, jewels. The list could go on! I would recommend this book to anyone! I give it a 5/5!! Happy Reading!! less
