My Review:
Megan Kinkead is the 17 year old ward of 36 year old Justin, the sixth Earl of Weston. He hasn't seen her in 12 years and finally confronts her when she runs away from school. He follows her to his home in Ireland and he is smitten once he sees her dancing on the table.
When Justin gets injured after chasing after her she takes care of and falls in love with him. He tries to deny their mutual attraction but eventually succumbs to her seduction. Before he can tell her he is married his wife arrives and she is furious. She leaves for London with his wife and flirts with other men for revenge. Then she finds out she is pregnant with Justin's baby but keeps it a secret and tries to find a suitable man to marry. When her engagement is announced Justin becomes insanely jealous and kidnaps her.
Some stuff that bothered me:
1. The 19 year age difference between Megan and Justin
2. Justin was married when he bedded Megan
3. Justin raped Megan after kidnapping her
4. Justin slapped Megan when she was 8 months pregnant
This dark historical had steamy sexual chemistry, hot love scenes and emotional charged scenes.
4/5
Thanks Simon and Schuster Canada for sending me this book to review, greatly appreciated!

Yeah I will not be reading this one. I can't stand when a man hits a woman in a book, unless she is asking for him to "punish" her in the bedroom lol.
Thanks for the great review though. :)
