![]() ![]() He’s dark, wicked, and I suspect composed entirely of orgasms and a few red blood cells. Julian, Duke of Denford and said ex-best friend, is basically sex on a stick. He intentionally alienated her and didn’t even kiss her when they had sex.Ģ. Damian was a total asshole to Cynthia during the few weeks they knew each other. The woman he returns to is beautiful, polished, traveling in hoity-toity circles, and maybe sleeping with his ex-best friend.ġ. The woman he left was frumpy, uncomfortable, and generally painfully eager to please and impress. When the book opens, Damian has returned home after a year abroad to find that his awkward, shy wife has changed greatly. In an effort to make it right he takes a job with the Foreign Office and marries Cynthia, a young and wealthy but common-born woman whose uncle just happens to hold the Windermere estate now. When Damian, Earl of Windermere, comes of age he stupidly gets drunk and gambles away his country seat and inheritance. This is a marriage of convenience story, which is admittedly one of my big catnips. ![]() ![]() Normally I’d be gritting my teeth because the hero, Damian, is an unrepentant ass bag for most of the book, but somehow it worked for me beautifully. Lady Windermere’s Lover is that kind of book. I think Miranda Neville must have magic because she has the ability to write books that feature characters or plot devices that normally don’t work for me and yet I find myself devouring the story.
