One spectacular Christmas, Lady Perdita Selby, known to her friends and family as Poppy, met the man she thought she would love forever.
The devilishly attractive Duke of Fletcher was the perfect match for the innocent, breathtakingly beautiful young Englishwoman, and theirs was the most romantic wedding she had ever seen. Four years later, Poppy and the duke have become the toast of the ton . . . but behind closed doors the spark of their love affair has burned out.
Unwilling to lose the woman he still lusts after, the duke is determined to win back his beguiling bride's delectable affections . . . and surpass the heady days of first love with a truly sinful seduction.
Well, I can't say I was quite as enthralled with this book as the other two reviewers. I'd give this book 3 1/2 stars, but I bumped it up to 4 because there's heart here and potential in the series itself. I can say that I really liked Fletch and Poppy's story.
That said, I'm getting a little frustrated with EJ's thing about intertwining stories. I realize she's using this story, and the previous one, "Desperate Duchesses" to lay groundwork for the stories still coming, but I found myself getting annoyed with the distractions from Fletch and Poppy. Her 'intertwining' is somewhat heavy-handed, and makes it hard to say that each book in a series stands alone.
