Although the widowed Lady Rebecca has sworn off marriage, men are another matter. London's cold winter nights have her dreaming of warmer pursuits—like finding a lover to satisfy her hungry heart. Someone handsome, discreet, and most importantly as uninterested in marriage as she is. Someone like Jack Fulton.
A known adventurer and playboy, Jack seems like the perfect choice. There's just one problem: Jack isn't interested in an affair. He needs the beautiful, mysterious Lady Rebecca to be his wife. And he doesn't have much time to persuade her. A secret from Jack's past is about to surface, and by Christmas Day he'll be either married to Rebecca or dead.
My thoughts:
Jack Jack Jack *shakes head* It is hard to like someone who is not honest. And I do want to kick him in the nuts.
Rebecka, oh she made SUCH a mistake. Damn girl, that was so stupid. But 4 years later she is a widow wondering if she should have some fun.
They meet. There is lots of passion in their story. They mess up. There is drama. Dishonesty, me wanting to kick him in the nuts. But all in all, they do care for each other, but there is that one big issue that you know will mess it all up.
Conclusion:
A nice story set before xmas. Not that much xmas in it, but hey still a xmas book.

Craving for some christmas-themed books. This one probably won't make the cut. Lol.
ReplyDeleteOh it was fun :)
DeleteLOL! It's always fun when you want to kick the hero in the nuts! Haha!
ReplyDeleteLOl, I have a nut kicking problem
DeleteLove the sexy Christmas robe! I liked the sound of this one, but if the dishonesty is that strong, I would also be kicking him in the nuts. I hate heroes like that.
ReplyDeleteI get why he did it...it was a bad reason...but he should just have told her since he liked her
Deletepretty sure i have this one, have not had a chance to read it, looks cute
ReplyDeleteNice :)
DeleteI like that cover...
ReplyDeleteWow that cloak looks like it's gonna slip off at anytime!
ReplyDeleteI get the wanting to kick a character in the nuts feeling sometimes too!
ReplyDeleteIt has happened a lot this fall
DeleteI read this one years ago and loved it. Yeah the hero could be frustrating, but I really liked the rest of the story that it made up for it.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good, even if he was an asshat
DeleteSounds like a good story and I love that cover. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteI think I have this one - off to look.
ReplyDeleteI hope so!
DeleteOh she's a fun one. Been a while since I've read her.
ReplyDelete*shakes head* Why are people so dumb? lol
ReplyDeleteI know!
DeleteThe premise sounds pretty whacky. "By Christmas Day he'll be either married to Rebecca or dead"!? Dang, that's pretty extreme ;-)
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Haha, well it's true, cos he is stupid
Deletewhy not. I think I tried a book by the author
ReplyDeleteShe is good
DeletePremise sounds a little wacky but I'm glad it turned out ok. Sometimes you can gloss over things in a novella lol
ReplyDeleteKaren @For What It's Worth
Ha, yes the premises usually are
DeleteHmm, not sure this is for me but I'm glad you found another Xmas read--they're always special during this time of the year.
ReplyDeleteThey sure are :D
