Book Description:
Irresistible Force
Darius Carsington is a spectacularly handsome rake with a rare intelligence and no heart, a man who divides his time between bedding loose-moraled women and writing scholarly papers. He finds society's "perfect darlings" exceedingly boring. But there's something intriguing, and not quite perfect, about faultless Lady Charlotte Hayward. He senses a crack under her polished surface, and finding it is a challenge he can't resist.
Immovable Object
Lady Charlotte is so beautiful, charming, and gracious that no one has noticed what an expert she is at Not Getting Married. Early on, she learned a painful lesson about trust . . . and temptation. In the years since, she's devoted her life to being all she ought to beĀand she's not about to let a man like Carsington entice her to do everything she shouldn't.
A Splendid Collision
But the rules of attraction can easily overpower the rules of manners and morals, and sometimes even the best-behaved girl has to follow her instincts, even if it means risking it all.

I really enjoy how Loretta Chase tells a story. In this one, the secret is quite a secret, and kept me curious as to how it could possibly be resolved into a happily ever after ending. She managed, but it was a bit far fetched. But hey, this is fiction - maybe society really would be more accepting than I think.
I highly recommend for a lazy weekend getaway. :-)

Wonderful story by Loretta Chase. Darius Carsington, youngest son of the Earl of Hargate, is a handsome rake who also happens to be a scholar. Lady Charlotte Hayward, a beautiful twenty-seven year-old spinster, has a dark, dark secret in her past and doesn't want to ever get married. But when they first meet each other, there is an attraction that neither can deny.

H/H a little unusual- he's a scholarly rake with no heart, she's a beauty skilled at not getting married. Characters are engaging and have some depth.
Cali M. (- The narrative I thought was a bit misleading on this but I enjoyed the book!
- One of the better ones I've read from this author. =)
