In Bed with the Devil by Lorraine Heath
2.0
I had a good ol' chuckle over this book. The title pretty much explains it all. It was one of those soppy romances you sometimes find yourself reading to pass the time. The biggest let-down was the sheer lack of passion and chemistry between the two romantic leads. I was not in the least bit convinced that Luke and Catherine belonged together.
Luke, (also known as the Devil Earl) is convinced that he has met his perfect match in Frannie Darling, an insipid, quiet, 'plain Jane' type of character. Despite her general lack of eagerness in wishing to marry him, Luke seeks Lady Catherine Mabry's assistance in teaching Frannie how to be a lady so that she'll learn to fit in to his uppity, aristocratic world. Whilst Lady Catherine is busy transforming Frannie from a ladette to a lady, the sexual tension between Catherine and Luke builds as they consistently find themselves in tricky, somewhat intimate situations that are hard to escape from.
Luke is the typical bad-boy, or as they called them back in the old days, a 'scoundrel'. His intentions are bad, bad, bad. He'll ruin your reputation and scatter his seed as he sees fit, however that doesn't seem to stop Catherine Mabry. Like a moth to a flame she can't get enough of the super dangerous Luke.
Not surprisingly this novel culminates in pregnancy and the realisation that it's far better to be with someone you have an attraction towards than to someone that fails to raise a pulse or anything else for that matter. I have now successfully read a Regency Romance. I have been there and done that so to say.
