The son of a duke and an infamous mother, Alistair Mabry, Marquess of Rexton, fought his way to respectability. No wonder I can’t wait for her next one and then her next and so on to release. Lorraine Heath has a way of making that happen for me with every one of her books. And I like that Gina is not anything like what she first appears to be.Īll in all, a wonderfully crafted romance that pulls on the heartstrings as well as tickles the funny bone when Rex and Tillie are engaged with one another. As Tillie’s circumstances are slowly unveiled throughout this tumultuous love affair, you can’t help but cheer her on to make the right decision for her and to hell with everyone else. I enjoyed seeing the Mabry family again as they help Rexton make Tillie a little more respectable once more to the ton. Rexton should be happy to see her go, to see his torment end, but in the end he just can’t let her run from his life. Tillie is set on returning to America as soon as Gina is married and settled. Of course, there’s lots of ups and downs for these two on the way to their future. When they finally throw caution to the wind, their chemistry explodes and the pages catch fire. Rexton and Tillie try their darnedest to keep their feelings at bay, but fate has other plans. Of course, things become very complicated with all three characters following their own agendas. But when Rexton shows an interest in her sister, Tillie watches him like a hawk to make sure his feelings are true and he doesn’t want just a dowry, as her husband did with her. She very rarely ventures outside the home she managed to obtain from her ex. Tillie is still drowning in the scandal her divorced caused years before. He never imagined the tangle his life would become as these two ladies worm their way under his skin.

His deal with Lady Landsdowne’s uncle to breed his best horse with the man’s prized stallion is only to court her sister to a few balls and the theater to garner interest in the young woman. So imagine his dilemma when he meets a very notoriously scandal-clad American heiress and is drawn to her time and time again. He loves his parents to no end, but their way to marriage just isn’t for him. He knows what it’s like to be the child of scandal, bullied as a kid as he was in school. Heath.Īlistair Mabry, Marquess of Rexton, is determined to marry a proper and respectable woman. But what fun – and challenges – ensue, giving the reader another lovely and heart-wrenching read from Ms. Rexton and Tillie are both in a spot when it comes to their futures, so adding in their attraction to each other just makes for a sticky wicket.
