review 1: Nicholas shows up in the previous books as a secondary character. Here he is impoverished and needing an escape from the scandal of his broken engagement. In retreating to his country estate, he reunites with Cynthia, a childhood friend. She is desperate to escape her family, who essentially have sold her to a depraved nobleman. Nicholas has some issues from being abused as a teenage and it manifests in wanting his sexual partners tied down. Needless, this leads to some hot domination sex. Cynthia helps him work through his issues. Super sweet ending.
review 2: Another enjoyable read from VD. Thought Nicholas (or Lancaster) was very complex character, with plenty of reason to be so. Cynthia is more of a loon, but very likable.Nicholas must wed rich to improve
... more his family's fortunes. Cynthia was being forced to marry a psycho, so she fakes her own death. They were childhood friends, so when Nicholas finds out about her death he comes home to offer his sympathies. They are misplaced, however, as her stepfather is simply angry she killed herself instead of marrying a monster (to whom he owes money).Much of the leads motivations come from characters you never meet...his family, her younger sister. I found that odd...but only after I finished reading the book. But I thought VD's treatment of Nicholas's reaction to abuse as a young man was brilliant and sensitive. less

My first book by VDahl. Lots of drama, as expected. Most importantly, love the HOT cover.
