Memorable and certainly engrossing. It's downright dark compared to most things I've read lately, which is good a lot of the time, but it did get irritating and a little tedious at times. One of those reformed rake romances where the heroine is so annoyingly convinced that the hero is an utter cad and refuses to consider any evidence to the contrary, and you wish he'd just take her at her word and go find someone else. I felt like that more than once. Still though, it's not a total write-off. I'm sure some will love it, and Jewel is a talented enough writer to motivate me to check out some of her other works. I think this book has some good moments, just not anything that elevates it into keeper territory.
Grade: B-
Sensuality rating: R
