5 of 5 stars
This is the first book
I've read by Ms. Reid and what an introduction to her utterly
enthralling writing. Nicolas St. Ives is a man haunted by what happened
to his childhood friend, Arianna. He's made it his mission to punish
those men who were responsibility for what happened to her. He's playing
a long game--10 years of plotting and angling himself to be the
architect of their ruin. He's almost done with the revenge game, but he
is distracted by the utterly fascinating Lady Maryann Fitzwilliam, a
feisty wallflower that he can no longer overlook. He longs to make her
his, but his enemies are watching and if they know she is important to
him, he fears they will strike against her. Can he give up his revenge
for the woman he loves?
Wow, what a riveting story this is! Ms.
Reid is a master storyteller revealing bit by bit what makes Nicolas
tick. Her descriptions bring scenes to life and I was hooked from the
beginning. I loved Maryann. She was so brave and strong and the
interactions between her and Nicolas were intriguing. A word of
warning--there are numerous graphic sex scenes in this book for those
readers who do not care for this in their stories. I will definitely
look for other books by Ms. Reid.
I voluntarily read the advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
