Dain sees Jessica as a dainty, desirable woman who just won't leave him alone. Jessica sees Dain as a stallion whose strength and largess makes her lust for him. Both are stubborn, intelligent, and totally into one another. Jessica is an independent woman who follows the rules of society without being dictated by them. It's such an endearing and hilarious story.ĭain is a scarily large man with a horrible reputation of drinking, gambling, and womanizing. Of all the books I devoured, this one stuck with me. I read this book years ago when I went through my regency romance period. This was my first book by this author but it won't be my last. It is an older book but well worth your time. I hadn't really read romances for years due to an unfortunate english teacher I had in high school but I've probably read better than 250 romance novels this year by authors like Monica McCarty, Lisa Kleypas, Susan Johnson, Sabrina Jeffries, etc and I can say without a doubt, of all the romances I read, this was my favorite.
They definitely have chemistry and I found myself engaged by both of them and many times when I'm reading a romance, the feeling is tepid or is just not there for both main characters. She doesn't think he's perfect but cares for him warts and all. She's older and more practical/mature than many romance novel heroines - the perfect match for him. Sometimes his thoughts/actions made me laugh out loud such as what he thinks of the heroine's over the top hats and hairstyles or the amusing names he sometimes calls other characters in the book, including the heroine. He's sexy in his own way and though he is a somewhat tortured soul, it never becomes tiresome because the author fleshed out his character in a way that redeemed it from becoming trite/tiresome. I liked that the hero was not your typical "handsome, devilish rake". I have some 300+ books in my "library" and there is only 1 fiction book included and that book is not a romance but I'm definitely adding this book to read again - it's that good!
