Your Wicked Ways (2004)
Eloisa James
Rating: 2.5/5
I felt a bit cheated by this book. We have seen two of the main characters (there is of course, more than one story going on) ignoring and hurting and hating each other for three books now. I just don’t think enough happened to make me believe that they could actually forgive each other.
Also, the ‘secondary’ romance, I suppose you’d called it, is wrapped up basically off-screen, never to be heard of again. It was a bit of a let down.
Helene, the Countess Godwin, knows there is nothing more unbearably tedious than a virtuous woman. After all, she's been one for ten long years while her scoundrel of a husband lives with strumpets and causes scandal after scandal. So she decides it's time for a change--she styles her hair in the newest, daring mode, puts on a shockingly transparent gown, and goes to a ball like Cinderella, hoping to find a prince charming to sweep her off her feet... and into his bed.
But instead of a prince, she finds only her volatile, infuriatingly handsome... husband, Rees, the Earl Godwin. They'd eloped to Gretna Green in a fiery passion, but passion can sometimes burn too hot to last.
But now, Rees makes her a brazen offer, and Helene decides to become his wife again... but not in name only. No, this time she decides to be very, very wicked indeed.
All that being said, I am now planning on reading her other series, The Essex Sisters. I hope it is as good.
