Their lives were perfect . . . Lady Hero Batten, the beautiful sister of the Duke of Wakefield, has everything a woman could want, including the perfect fiance. True, the Marquis of Mandeville is a trifle dull and has no sense of humor, but that doesn't bother Hero. Until she meets his notorious brother . . . Until they met each other. Griffin Remmington, Lord Reading, is far from perfect - and he likes it that way. How he spends his days is a mystery, but all of London knows he engages in the worst sorts of drunken revelry at night. Hero takes an instant dislike to him, and Griffin thinks that Hero, with her charities and faultless manners, is much too impeccable for society, let alone his brother. Yet their near-constant battle of wits soon sparks desire - desire that causes their carefully constructed worlds to come tumbling down. As Hero's wedding nears, and Griffin's enemies lay plans to end their dreams forever, can two imperfect people find perfect true love?
I did not have any interest in Lady Hero when I read about her in Wicked Intentions so I wasn't excited to pick up this book. However Elizabeth Hoyt is just so good at immediately making you care about her characters that within the first chapter I was invested.
Lord Reading is definitely a rake from the first page and its interesting to see his and Hero's different personalities clash, but in a very compelling way.
Towards the end Lady Hero got a little annoying but I think it was in a realistic way so overall I really enjoyed it. The characters we meet in the background only help to really build this world, and I love it. You can read it as a standalone, but I think it helps the enjoyment if you read them in order. ( )
2nd read- I quite enjoy this book. The main characters are likable and the story is compelling. A few flaws here and there, but even on a second read it was great. ( )
