Product Description

She was ruled by her head...

Only one thing stood between Edward, Lord Rawlings, and a life of rakish debauchery: a spinster. Even worse, a liberal, educated, vicar's daughter-guardian to ten-year-old Jeremy, the true heir to the title Edward did not want. If Jeremy would not assume dukedom, Edward must, a fate of dire responsibility and utter boredom.

But this time, her heart was taking the reins

Since there had never been a female his lordship couldn't charm, Edward was sure he would win over the old girl. But Pegeen MacDougal was neither old, nor a girl-she was all woman, with a prickly tongue, infernal green eyes and a buried sensuality that drove him mad. Unfortunately, she loathed him and his class for their fripperies and complete disregard for the less fortunate. But for the sake of the boy, she agreed to accompany him back to his estate.

The rise was quickly apparent. For Pegeen knew she could resist Edward's money, his power, his position...his entire world. It was his kiss, however, that promised to be her undoing...

THIS IS HER BEST BOOK-----
I have read all of Patricia Cabot's books and this one is by far her best one. The characters are lively, the conversation is witty, and the heroine is not some wimpy miss. The hero shows vulnerability in his actions as he falls in love with her despite her connections to his brother's death. They make a great couple and kept me up till 3:00 in the morning since I could not put the book down. I also recommend her other book--An Improper Proposal--although the hero is somewhat lacking in terms of emotion in this book.

++++
This was a very good book. I have read only two of Ms. Cabot's books but I have liked both very much. Where I enjoyed Lady of Skye better than this one, Where Roses Grow Wild delivered the humor and witty conversations (not to mention love scenes) I enjoyed with the first book. So much so I know I will be picking up her other books. We can't all have romances where everyone smooches all of the time and never argues. One it would not be true to life and two it would be very boring. This was a very refreshing and enjoyable read for me and I would highly recommend the book and also the author.

Absolutely Delightful
My first book by Patricia Cabot and after finishing this one I immediately bought all her other books. Her style is a delightful blend of wit, sex and insights into human nature, sometimes a little far-fetched but always engaging and rewarding. It is one of those books with few wasted passages covering details that are not essential to the storyline and I found I couldn't put the book down for long.
