Publisher's summary

From USA Today bestselling author Gayle Callen comes the story of a bride of convenience who vows to be so much more.

Gwyneth Hall has heard the dark rumors about Sir Edmund Blackwell, the man she is betrothed to but has never seen. To save her penniless family from ruin, however, she would wed the devil himself. And this gorgeous, moody "devil" sends a tremor of excitement racing through her when they first meet—sparking the young bride's determination to turn a marriage of convenience into much more.

Edmund dares never love again after being blamed for his first wife's death. And while his exquisite new bride fills him with desire, their union is simply a means for him to retain his hard-won lands. Gwyneth is, after all, related to his enemy and therefore not to be trusted. But how long can Edmund resist the temptation of her touch?

Contains mature themes.

Unexpectedly sweet and sexy

I didn’t know what to expect from this story or author. I’ve never read any books from this author before and I didn’t realize until a couple chapters in this book was part of a series, but I was hooked. I really liked the male lead, Edmund. He was a hurt person but he wasn’t trying to hurt others, just trying to keep to himself to limit any pain that would be caused if he did open himself up. He was a little gruff in the beginning but it was understandable considering the situation. He does quickly warm up to Gwyneth. I will admit a bias as I find scars to be sexy and Edmund is very much my type. I melted every time Edmund was sweet to Gwyneth. Also, I actually really enjoyed that Gwyneth had to be the one to try and seduce him into her bed. Her attempts while genuine were fun and sexy. She was great! It made for a nice change of pace in the historical romance genre. I liked that that they were eventually able to be honest with each other. Their relationship was stabilized once trust was completely established and they both realized it was necessary. I greatly appreciated that they grew to respect each other as well. They both made the best of their situation and it payed off nicely. Overall, I am very happy I spent a credit on this book and gave the author a shot. I’m thinking of trying out the other two books in the series.

The book has spicy scenes but not many. I wouldn’t have minded a few more.

The narrator also did a great job! I loved their voice for Edmund and the variety of voices they were capable of performing.
