Publisher's summary

Tilly, the widowed duchess of Longleigh, finally has everything she wants. Everything, that is, except for the forbidden man who stole her heart and fathered her child before disappearing from her life.

Time has passed, but she has not forgotten him. Nor has she stopped longing for him. But when he mysteriously reappears in London, a ruthless stranger has taken the place of the lover she thought she knew.

Bedding the duchess was meant to be a job for Adrian Hastings and nothing more. The terms were simple: a monthlong affair in exchange for the funds to start a new life far from the rumors and scandal tainting his past. He never intended to fall in love. Nor did he reckon on the betrayal that would almost cost him his life. His return is with a sole purpose in mind, to gain his vengeance on the heartless widow. He won’t stop until he reveals her deepest, most shameful secrets to the world.

Unless she destroys him first.

Nice Twist

Storyline maintained your interest. Unexpected twist ending. Good narration. Enjoy this authors work. Looking forward to my next read.

Hero

This was a great story, it had all the elements, hero, heroine, villain, funny & sad, intrigue. The best part for me was the heroine did not play the victim. She was strong and put her energy in helping the hero to be better. I loved that the hero had a friend that didn't by into the pity party but made light of the situation.
What I hated was the narrator....WAY TOO EXTRA. I almost stopped listening but I wanted to hear the outcome even though I knew what the ending would be. Please in future consider your narrator for your story they can destroy a good read.

EXCELLANT NARRATORS!!

If I could give Lady Lawless 10 stars I would. Its an Exception story!!

We meet Tilly Duchess of Longleigh in the first book of this series Lady Ruthless. I have been wondering how she would get her own story. She was already Unhappily Married to the abusive much older Duke of Longleigh.

Tilly was being abused my her impotent husband the Duke and finally the reprobate evil Duke has drowned at sea. A few years before the Duke had forced Tilly and his illegitimate and only son Adrian Hastings to sire a child together. The Duke was incapable of the sexual act and wanted the heir to be of his blood.

Adrian agrees for a fee of 10 thousand pounds He was thinking at the time the Duchess would be older women. Never did he image a the beautiful young Duchess Tilly. Using a fake name of Robin Carstairs he and Tilly embark upon months of love making and friendship which turns into a strong real true love for one another.

But the Duke is so evil he has had people watching them from afar and as soon as Tilly becomes pregnant the Duke returns and has his own son thrown into prison.

This story was so emotional and I couldn't put it down. I read straight throw the night. I had to know how Adrian and Tilly along with there young son would overcome all the wrongs done to them.

No substance!

I purchased this book based on the reviews, as a first time reader of this author's work.

It seemed that the author relies heavily on porn/erotica to build her romance novels. I find this distasteful and distracts from what could have been a substantive, meaningful, and classy story, instead it bent toward smutty
In my opinion, author's that take this route are lazy and lack imagination.

Writers like Stella Riley are great examples of authors that express real intimacy, love and sensuality without the smut!

I won't be purchasing books by this author in future.

not good.

This series of books has been out standing . unfortunately Lady Lawless. it is too long, to wordy, and boring. Some of the characters wording is exactly the same as in other books in the series. big bummer.

Disappointing

Repetitive plot points from earlier books in the series. Uninspiring narration. Could not finish this one
