Although beautiful young widow
Phoebe, Lady Clare, has never met West Ravenel, she knows one thing for
certain: he’s a mean, rotten bully. Back in boarding school, he made her
late husband’s life a misery, and she’ll never forgive him for it. But
when Phoebe attends a family wedding, she encounters a dashing and
impossibly charming stranger who sends a fire-and-ice jolt of attraction
through her. And then he introduces himself...as none other than West
Ravenel.
West is a man with a tarnished past. No apologies, no excuses. However, from the moment he meets Phoebe, West is consumed by irresistible desire...not to mention the bitter awareness that a woman like her is far out of his reach. What West doesn’t bargain on is that Phoebe is no straitlaced aristocratic lady. She’s the daughter of a strong-willed wallflower who long ago eloped with Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent—the most devilishly wicked rake in England.
Before long, Phoebe sets out to seduce the man who has awakened her fiery nature and shown her unimaginable pleasure. Will their overwhelming passion be enough to overcome the obstacles of the past?
Only the devil’s daughter knows… AMAZON 5 STARS
Before I say anything else, I just have to applaud the choice for this eBook cover. Gorgeous, simply gorgeous!
The set up in the beginning chapter was a pretty good one. Phoebe had her mind totally made up about West. That is until she finally met him and everything was turned upside down.
One of the things that I really enjoyed was some of the funny conversations between Phoebe and West. And that is not the only time that West spoke amusing observations. Made me smile a lot. But then, there was also other amusing conversations as well. Some of those being between Phoebe's mother and father.
I really liked Phoebe's mother and father a lot. They might be nobility but they were also down to earth as well. Her father was also a former rake with some very interesting connections. He knew just about everyone AND their secrets. Both high born people and the common man. He also combined being the Duke of Kingston with a rather unusual business as well. He owns a gentleman's club called Jenner's.
Phoebe was one good main character, she was kind, loving and had an unusual first marriage that was more friend than passion. And we went over and above what anyone could expect of her until his death. It was a love match for sure. She was so good with her two sons, Justin who was four and Stephen who was two. Some of the fun times came from Justin just being Justin. He was outgoing, funny and just being a child. Honest to a fault. She also has such a loving, supportive family something that West never had. The only family that he had was Devon and they were used to having each other's back.
West had so many regrets, one of them being that he had become a bully as a child when it was at boarding school. But then he went right on being a drunken jerk until he turned his life around. A lot of that credit goes to his brother who helped give him purpose in life.
I liked how the story ended and I enjoyed every minute of the story.
