Not your typical romance

Although all the elements of a Regency romance is there; rich jaded (and dark) gentleman trapped into a bargain between a virgin destitute and introduces her into ton. They hate each other and verbal slings are exchanged. She becomes toast of the season during which sexual tension between them sizzles out of control. And lo-ho! they realize they were made for each other.In place of guilt-entrenched misunderstandings and betrayal is lots of sizzling sex with the struggle for sexual domination. Once he realizes his need for her, the struggle becomes futile. Thea Devine is a gifted writer and the dialogue brims with intellectual subtleties and sarcasm aimed both at the society at the time as well as at the reader who craves a fairytale romance.The hero's actions belies his words and the ending satisfies and gives closure. Unique romance and not to miss as it gives romance a kick in it's 'dark' reflection.
