review 1: I was really entertained by this novel, the first I've read from this author and I'm looking forward to reading her other works. I liked the characters just fine and they were written with complementary personalities. Both of them are headstrong but when it comes to their attraction towards each other, there's no resisting. Lily and Devon had a history. It started with young love and a lot of complications. I loved the irony of their financial situations and their (sometimes) witty banter. I do enjoy a good match of wits and one trying to get ahead of the argument. The love scenes were few and far between and I didn't mind at all. There are lots more going on with their colorful lives; a bet, secrets, maintaining appearances, and the mystery surrounding what happened 5 yea... morers ago. All would be resolved in good time. I can't wait to read the next in the series!
review 2: I must admit this is my first time reading Valerie Bowman, but won’t be the last. With this début book she managed to hook me real good to this series and make me care for her wonderfully created characters.In this story she introduces us to a hero that is ‘all that’ and more. Devon Morgan, Marquis of Colton, is not happy with the pamphlet that is circulating all over London society and which he believes Lily, Countess of Merrill, a widow that ditched him on the night of their elopement, has written it to purposely dissuade his virginal fiancé to marry him. He is ready to face her and get his revenge on her.Lily on the other hand is as strong-minded, stubborn and determined as he is.It took awhile for her bruised heart to heal, and she isn’t happy to see him as he’s not what she needs at this time. She has many obligations that need taking care of and a man of his reputation is not what she wants. Neither can help the chemistry that sparks when they’re together, and God help those that find themselves in close proximity to them.For a début this was well written and paced, so that it held my attention from the start. The chemistry between Lily and Devon had me spellbound with its tension and sensuality. Their love scenes were emotional and moving.I also found their characterization and situations they found themselves in entertaining, funny and tension filled which kept me glued to the story.Highly recommend it and hope you’ll give this author a try.*Book provided by the author less
