Description: A decade ago, the
Marquess of Bourne was cast from society with nothing but his title. Now
a partner in London’s most exclusive gaming hell, the cold, ruthless
Bourne will do whatever it takes to regain his inheritance—including
marrying perfect, proper Lady Penelope Marbury. A broken
engagement and years of disappointing courtships have left Penelope with
little interest in a quiet, comfortable marriage, and a longing for
something more. How lucky that her new husband has access to such
unexplored pleasures. Bourne may be a prince of London’s
underworld, but he vows to keep Penelope untouched by its wickedness—a
challenge indeed as the lady discovers her own desires, and her
willingness to wager anything for them... even her heart.
I Give This ...
This new series was highly anticipated in my book. I'm not one for what I call "harlequin romances." But, I was completely hooked after her first series.
I was completely in love Penelope within the first few moments of meeting her. I loved her attitude. She's not bitter when it comes to her circumstances, but she knows that she won't be happy until she has a love match. She's seen it, so she knows its a possibility. Interestingly enough I think in her heart she's know all along who she loves.
I wasn't sure about Bourne for the longest time. He was so cold and bitter that I wasn't sure that he would ever give in to what we knew he was feeling for Penelope. He had spent so much of his adult life with his eyes on revenge that I didn't think that the promise of love would be enough. It was never his intention and it doesn't belong in his world.
The world that each of them inhabit are so far apart that its a wonder that they even collided to behind with. Someone has to character to the darker whims of the acrostic, and I think Bourne is the perfect person for it. I loved the little glimpses we get of his partners. They each have an interesting story to tell and I'm looking forward to hearing it.
I liked how their relationship progresses. Its an interesting mix of love and hatred at first, but Bourne often goes out of his way to make Penelope happy. Even if its not in the ways she really wants. MacLean has a knack for writing romance in this time period. I'm looking forward to the next one!
