Book Description:
A fiercely independent duchess and a brooding, reclusive earl are tested by the demands of desire in this unforgettable romance from the USA Today bestselling author of A Kiss of Lies andA Night of Forever.
For Rose Deverill, one husband was enough. As the wealthy widow of the Duke of Roxborough, she has cultivated an unsavory reputation meant to discourage wife hunters. Thanks to a string of steamy affairs, Rose is perfectly content to be known by polite society as the “Wicked Widow”—until she’s reunited with the man she fell in love with at age fifteen. Their bedroom encounters are scorching, but it breaks Rose’s heart to wonder whether her reckless behavior ruined her for Philip Flagstaff.
The second son of the Earl of Cumberland, Philip never wanted the title. But after Philip’s older brother, Robert, follows him into the Battle of Waterloo, his worst fears come to pass. Now Robert lies in a soldier’s grave, and Philip is determined never to pass on the inheritance to children of his own. Then Rose appears, soothing the pain with her delightful curves and passionate kisses. The notorious Duchess seems to want nothing from him—and yet Philip has never ached to give a woman more.

My Opinion:
I really liked this story. It was written well and I fell in love with Rose. She came out a widower and instead of conforming to what others wanted, she did what she wanted. She had a free spirit and was a strong character. But, I couldn't get over Philip's vow that he never really made to his brother, just to himself. I don't know. It went to extremes. I could have used a bit less of his brother shadowing the book.
There were a few twists and turns in the book and near the end I was a bit surprised on where the story went. Which was a great thing. It kept me reading. I loved how Philip was with Rose and her son when they were all together. It really seemed sweet and genuinely like a nice family setting. There was a lot of passion in the book and that was a plus. I like how descriptive the author was. Somethings were a little rushed at the end of the book but that was ok. I overall really enjoyed reading this one.
