This, Stephen's, and Kate's are my favorite of this series. I like Vanessa's and Meg's but to me the other 3 draw me.

I like Hannah and her Higher than Thou attitude and how she wields her power. She has basically the maximum amount of power a woman can have that isn't a princess or a queen. I love Con for her and I love that we learn what the tiff is in the family and Hannah is the healer for them among with other people. Con and Hannah are perfect for each other. (

I was kind of disappointed in the previous couples for judging the heroine based on rumor. Seriously? With everything they've been through in this series?? But otherwise this was carried out pretty well. I didn't like the cockiness and game playing the heroine started out with, but thankfully she moved past it fairly quickly. I was entertained. This series had a rocky start for me, but I've liked the last three. (

This was my favorite by far of this series. The characters were well developed and the plot was deeper than some recent offerings by this author. Constantine could have stayed a bit darker, he did come out as a good guy pretty early. That they both had hidden philanthropic projects was a bit of a stretch but hey it's fiction.

My biggest problem, and it was a small one, was that the romance element seemed just a tad underdone. Maybe their love seemed too easy and they didn't have to fight for it very hard which made it a bit less compelling?

I enjoyed the first half better than the second half, mostly because the romance kind of took a back seat in the second half. Still all in all it was pretty good. (

Tras un año de luto por su marido, Hannah Reid, duquesa de Dunbarton, ha decidido buscarse un amante. Constantine Huxtable, el hijo ilegítimo del conde de Merton, parece ser el candidato idóneo: apuesto, sexy, experimentado en los lances de amor y con una reputación tan cuestionada como la suya. Constantine también busca una nueva amante, pero este mujeriego irredento adora seducir, no ser seducido, y sentirse cazado por una duquesa no entra dentro de sus planes Y, a pesar de la fuerte atracción que le provoca la belleza de Hannah, la oveja negra de los Huxtable se niega a dejarse dominar por una mujer. ¿Conseguirá la duquesa domar su salvaje corazón? A veces, hasta el mejor cazador puede ser cazado...

I really, really enjoyed this book! The protagonists' passions for helping those less fortunate, even if it meant sinking a ton of money and losing their riches, got me in the feels. (
