They are England's most eligible bachelors, with the most scandalous reputations. But for the right woman, even an unrepentant rogue may mend his ways . . .

Lady Grace Mabry's ample inheritance has made it impossible for her to tell whether a suitor is in love with her— or enamored of her riches. Who better to distinguish beau from blackguard than her notorious childhood friend, the Duke of Lovingdon?

With no interest in marriage, Lovingdon has long lived only for pleasure. He sees little harm in helping Grace find a proper match. He simply has to teach the lovely innocent all the ploys a scoundrel uses to gain a woman's favor— by demonstrating his wicked ways. But as lessons lead to torrid passion and Grace becomes ensnared in another man's marriage plot, Lovingdon must wage a desperate gamble: Open his heart fully—or risk losing the woman he adores . . .

I knew it was hopeless, but I thought Grace would be better off really moving on...

2.0 When the Duke Was Wicked
The book started out alright but quickly descended into mediocrity. The heroine Grace is so transparent that I cringed to read about her "innocent questions" about love and lust. I mean anyone could see that Grace was using her quest for love in marriage as an excuse to get close to Lovingdon. Only ...

2.5 [REVIEW] When the Duke was Wicked by Lorraine Heath
Another book I was really looking forward that sadly didn't live up to my expectations. The middle dragged horribly. I didn't really connect with the characters that much and I got really sick of Lovingdon's denial. [spoiler] I understand his reasons but JFC, 70% in and we still have to pretend you ...
