    About this audiobook

    Love begets madness. Viscount Locksley watched it happen to his father after his cherished wife’s death. But when his sire arranges to marry flame-haired fortune hunter Portia Gadstone, Locke is compelled to take drastic measures to stop the stunning beauty from taking advantage of the marquess. A marriage of mutual pleasure could be convenient, indeed . . . as long as inconvenient feelings don’t interfere.

    Desperation forced Portia to agree to marry a madman. The arrangement will offer the protection she needs. Or so she believes until the marquess’s distractingly handsome son peruses the fine print . . .and takes his father’s place!

    Now the sedate—and, more importantly, secure—union Portia planned has been tossed in favor of one simmering with wicked temptation and potential heartbreak. Because as she begins to fall for her devilishly seductive husband, her dark secrets surface and threaten to ruin them both—unless Locke is willing to risk all and open his heart to love.

    Lorraine Heath

    Lorraine Heath always dreamed of being a writer. After graduating from the University of Texas, she wrote training manuals, press releases, articles, and computer code, but something was always missing. When she read a romance novel, she not only became hooked on the genre, but quickly realized what her writing lacked: rebels, scoundrels, and rogues. She’s been writing about them ever since. Her novels have been recognized with numerous industry awards and have appeared on the USA Today and New York Times bestseller lists.

    • 5/5
      Beautiful story. Loved it. I laughed. I cried. I loved this book. I was drawn in by Portia and her struggles and Locke and his love for his father. The side story of the Marquess took this book from a 4 star to a 5 star. The ending was exceptional.
    • 5/5
      This book is a solid and resounding 5 stars. The story was well paced, not too fast and not too slow. Two people who did not want to believe in love but ended up with a great love. It was a delightful read. I did roll my eyes near the end but eventually felt tears prick my eyes. This was really entertaining.
    • 3/5
      The audiobook was really good. The narrator is very talented. However, the story was a bit too overly dramatic.
    • 5/5
      The best of the three books. The grand finale to one of the most beautiful series of historical romances.
    • 3/5
      3.5 stars perhaps. It was pretty nicely executed, but I feel like nearly every single plot point could have been predicted by like 3 chapters in. Obviously, going into every historical romance I know they'll end up together, I don't read them for shocking twists or anything. But usually there are aspects of the 'how they end up there' that I wouldn't have seen at the start. I liked the heroine, I liked the father's role (though it seemed somewhat different from his earlier portrayals). It seemed unfounded that this hero was suddenly the biggest lady-killer out of all the Hellions. I'm glad I read it, but this series paled for me compared to her Scoundrels series. *shrug*.
    • 2/5
      I thought I could do this one because I enjoy Heath's writing but my personal dislike issues got in the way. Not a fan of secret trying to pass off as hero's baby angst, insta-lust, or first chapter starting off like this:

      Leaning forward, he dug his elbows into his thighs. “I’m simply striving to determine why a woman as young and lovely as yourself would be willing to lie on her back so a man as shriveled as my father can slide on top of her.”
      “Locke!” his father bellowed. “You’ve gone too far. Get the hell out.”
      “It’s quite all right, my lord,” she said calmly, never taking her challenging gaze from Locke’s, not flinching, not blushing, not so much as arching a thinly shaped eyebrow at him. “I don’t see that your father’s preferred position for coupling is really any of your concern. Perhaps he will take me standing while coming in at me from behind. Or on my knees. Or upside down. But I assure you, he will not be shriveled.”
      Then she slowly lowered those damned whiskey eyes to his lap, and he cursed his cock’s betrayal. With startling detail, images of him with her in all those positions had flown through his mind. He’d grown so hard and aching that he couldn’t have gotten up and walked out if he wanted.

      In a contemporary, would love this heroine's response, in historical, just not what I am personally looking for.
