Synopsis:Ā The cure for a willful wife…
Drusilla Clare is full of opinions about why a woman shouldnāt marry. But that doesnāt stop the rush of desire she feels each time her best friendās brother, notorious rake, Gabriel Marlington, crosses her path. So imagine her dismay when she finds herself in the clutches of a scoundrel, only to be rescued by Gabriel himself. And when Gabrielās heartlessāand heart-poundingāproposal comes, itās enough to make Druās formidable resolve crumble…
…is a smitten husband.
Sheās sharp-tongued, exasperating, and due to one careless momentāabout to become his wife. Still, something about Drusilla has Gabriel intrigued. First thereās the delicious flush of her skin every time she delivers a barbāand then the surprising sensual feel of her in his arms. Gabriel even finds himself challenged by her unusual philosophies. And when he discovers a clandestine rival for Druās affection, his temperature flames even hotter. But the real threat to their happiness is one neither of the newlyweds sees coming. If theyāre to save their futureāand their very livesātheyāll need to trust in each other and their growing love.
I have to confess that for the first few chapters I thought Notorious was going to be the second book in a row that would turn out to be a disappointment. I thoroughly disliked the shrewish Drusilla, and after a brief scene where Algerian born Gabriel, victim blames (he almost immediately apologizes), her, I wasnāt overly fond of him either. But then, much to my surprise they started growing on me. What begins as a cold marriage of convenience realistically develops into a true love match which was pleasurable to follow. The secondary characters are equally interesting, notably the villainous Godric Fleming, Earl Visel. Having done his best to torture Gabriel from the beginning of the book, his backstory is revealed about halfway through, and it makes him much more complex and sympathetic. Iām eagerly looking forward to the next book, Outrageous, which will feature him and Gabrielās stepsister and Druās best friend, the impetuous Lady Eva de Courtney. Overall, Notorious is a thoroughly entertaining Regency romp with surprisingly diverse characters.
