Claire Ashcroft blames Viscount Sutherland for the death of her beloved brother. Alone with nothing left to lose, she hatches a plot for revenge. Grayson Sutherland has been in a downward spiral since the death of his wife. He has a reputation for wild and reckless behavior with little regard for others. Claire refuses to let fear of his reputation hold her back as she poses as a charming "widow" in and effort to capture and break his heart.
The appeal of romance, for me, has less to do with the revolutionary plot lines (can you think of a genre more open to recycled ideas?) and more to do with likable characters. I wasn't sure I'd like this book based on the synopsis on the back, but I got hooked into the characters pretty quickly. Both are strong-minded and set on their own purposes, but very desperate (even if they can't acknowledge it) for something more in their lives. I couldn't wait for these two to find their happy ending!
