Book Description:
Helene, the Countess Godwin, knows there is nothing more unbearably tedious than a virtuous woman. After all, she's been one for ten long years while her scoundrel of a husband lives with strumpets and causes scandal after scandal. So she decides it's time for a change -- she styles her hair in the newest, daring mode, puts on a shockingly transparent gown, and goes to a ball like Cinderella, hoping to find a prince charming to sweep her off her feet…and into his bed.
But instead of a prince, she finds only her own volatile, infuriatingly handsome...husband, Rees, the Earl Godwin. They'd eloped to Gretna Green in a fiery passion, but passion can sometimes burn too hot to last.
But now, Rees makes her a brazen offer, and Helene decides to become his wife again...but not in name only. No, this time she decides to be very, very wicked indeed.

Definitely not your typical romance storyline. They have been married for 10 years but living apart for 9. Neither is made out to be a great lover. He was unfaithful during those years. And their fist intimacy in the book is definitely a "wham, bam, thank you, ma'am" encounter - actually there was no thank you involved. But having said all that, I think this was my favorite in the series.

I couldn't get into this book. The hero (?) Rees is a total degenerate, mannerless and reprehensible. What an ass! His wife Helena obviously has the patience of a saint to put up with his crap for 10 years. Rees kicked her out and moved a slut into her house and her bed. Ten years later Helena wants a divorce and he refuses to give it to her since they have a perfect relationship. Huh??? Anyway, I gave up after only 30 pages or so. Just couldn't stand this idiot and wasn't wasting any more time on this jerk.
Heather (While the characters are well fleshed out, Rees and Helene (especially her shrewish behavior in the beginning) aren't particularly likable characters. What really drives this story are the supporting characters and their stories. The Lina/Tom story was off-putting; this was not my favorite story in the series, and I'm glad I've already read Mayne's story or else I'd feel like I wasted an evening reading this.
Katie S. (The abrupt about-face that Helene and Rees make in regards to their relationship (both sexual and emotional) is a but unbelieveable. After saying such hurtful and terrible things in their marriage, and living apart for 9 years...they sure seemed to fall back into it all pretty quickly. How did so much change so quickly after 9 years of not speaking?
Other than that, as usual, I loved Eloisa's story. Mayne beggs his own story!
(The final book in the Duchess Quartet. A lot of people didn't like this book because there was adultery in it, but I think it added to the seriousness of the main couple's problems rather than detracting from the book. I really enjoyed seeing the couple grow and get to know each other again....I found the book highly satisfying. I recommend the entire series, but I recommend they be read in order.
Just loved this one. Another historical romance novel. Very amusing and heartfelt.
This story of three lady friends, other books in the series, A Wild Pursuit and Fool for love. All steamy and great romp plus Ms. James is a witty writer.
She wants to shock her husband into noticing her. She sets out to tempt and bewitch and succeeds in getting his attention in more ways than one. Excellent dialogue and a fast paced plot. Incredible love scenes. A gem of a Regency.
Helene, the Countess Godwin, knows there is nothing more tedious than a virtuous woman. Aftger all, she's been one for ten long years while her scoundrel of a husband causes scandal after scandal. So she decides it's time for a change.
