Esme Brentmore doesn't care that revenge isn't a suitable job for a woman. She's determined to avenge the murder of her beloved father, an enigmatic English aristocrat who lived in self-imposed exile. Honor demands that Esme let nothing and nobody stand in her way. That includes the handsome wastrel who's become entangled in her life, whose charm does not make up for his lazy and irresponsible character.
Having gambled away his entire family fortune, Varian St. George, Lord Edenmont, now lives by his wits and winning ways. A man who has always taken the path of least resistance --- preferably in soft beds with willing women --- he does not want to become embroiled in a mad quest with a hot-tempered and heavily armed redhead.
But forced to travel together through an exotic land, the mismatched pair soon discovers that friction can produce some very dangerous sparks

Then, the remainder of the first half of the book was about the hero and heroine's extremely long and boring journey through Albania. To much his...

Easy to read, many plots and intrigues, not so captivating love story and the end that was most welcomed because of the tedious dreadfulness of the last 50 pages. Loretta was on a good path here though g...
My reviews are mostly my thoughts as I went with the book. This one's got 4 parts.Varian was a rake and a lazy a$$ aristocrat. Esme was a bit insane. There are twists everywhere, from Esme's dad and how he came to be in Albania in the 1st place, married her Albanian mom while he loved an English lad...
Didn't get past the second chapter in this one ... Esme seemed like a complete idiot from the get-go.
