Customer Reviews

A most upsetting turnabout

In an act of the sweetest revenge against the man who had wronged her family Miss April Wendover forces Lord Adam Glendale into marriage, lest he be exposed to ruinous scandal. It had been a delicious victory to see this odiously arrogant lord wriggle like a fish on the hook before finally admitting defeat. As soon as he said yes, April was struck by the mocking gleam in Glenville's cold eyes-and then by a chilling realization. As soon as they were man and wife, Glenville would no longer be at her mercy, it will be Glendale who'll have the upper hand. She would be at his mercy and she could be sure that Glenville would have as little mercy as she...I very much recommend this book to those who love the regency period. A wonderful read and a fine example of regency writing!
