Not as good as Lord of Scoundrels. This story had a number of problems. First the heroine is married for the first 60 or so pages of the book. Then her husband dies and she's getting involved with another man within three weeks of his death. While it's well established that she and her husband were estranged for five years prior to his death (but they still lived together), and also that he was a despicable, horrid, adulterous jerk, somehow it doesn't seem very romantic for her to become involved with someone else so quickly on the heels of his death. The story plods somewhat and the hero has a lot to overcome because of his own kind of creepy past and a lot of lies and secrets. There are some cute scenes with funny banter, but not enough to overcome the other pretty big issues with the rest of the book. Loretta Chase is a great writer but this isn't a favorite.
