OrangeReviewStarFelix Rivendale, orphaned and the new Marquess of Wrenworth at 17, is emotionally scarred by the outwardly perfect but insidiously poisonous family environment in which he was raised owing to his mother's enduring bitterness at being forced into an unwanted marriage. Felix vows to outdo his mother in social perfection and never repeat his father's mistake of falling victim to love. By the age of 25, Felix is one of London's most eligible bachelors and is convinced he'll never be tempted by that emotion. Then he encounters Louisa Cantwell, a woman who refuses to act as he expects, fascinates him beyond reason, and seals his fate.
VERDICT Deep, insightful character development, a beautifully unwrapped love story that evolves in tantalizing detail, a backstory that is both heartbreaking and infuriating, and conflicted protagonists who take over your heart make this a thought-provoking, flawlessly written romance. One to savor—and remember. Thomas (Tempting the Bride) lives in Austin, TX.
