The man she believed to her family's savior has betrayed her, and she demands restitution. I feel like I opened up this book, blinked a few times and the next thing I knew I had finished it. As a whole this book needed more fleshing out. The bones of this book as well as the two main characters had the potential to create something deliciously enticing but the manner in which the author depicted things, heightened the sense that the read was far too short and the potential of the tale and characters had not been realised. That being said the heat between the main characters was depicted well, and the main characters interested me. The manifestation of love when it came to Jocelyn’s feelings for the Duke felt far too quick, the development of this almost insta-love could have worked if the author had fleshed it out a bit more. He needs a son but he does not want love. Sebastian on meeting Jocelyn feels she is a perfect contrast to the vapid and shallow ladies that exist in the Ton, and so he decides she would make him the perfect bride/wife. The Duke finds himself surprised and somewhat amused by the bold beauty that so fiercely enters his life, he also sees someone who he wants and will fit into his plans nicely. The lady decides to hold a gun to the head of Sebastian, the Duke of Calydon, demanding satisfaction for what she states the Duke’s younger brother did. Lady Jocelyn Rathbourne is desperate, her father is impoverished and in danger of losing the family estate on top of which she has siblings with no decent future in sight unless she can do something to change their circumstances. Re-Read 4th Sep 2020 - note to self when a re-read has me frowning double check things on Goodreads.
