Our heroine Aslyn starts off very sheltered and buttoned up but with some inner thoughts that hint at a will striving to break free. Why did everyone else seem so small in comparison? Why did this man have such an effect on her? He was somewhat romance hero trope (a bit more sensitive) but how he fell for heroine made him very enjoyable to read. Mick was the hero where circumstances force him to have a tough outer shell but is angry and hurt over feeling abandoned. It's a little heartbreaking that Mick obviously just wants to feel acknowledged by his father, making him feel meaningful since he was given away. The revenge he seeks is a bit different he simply wants his father to acknowledge him and hopes this will open higher society doors to him. While we are introduced to Mick as a very successful business man, he alludes and mentions how tough it was growing up poor and with the taint of being a bastard. The first in a new series, Beyond Scandal and Desire focuses on the eldest child of Widow Trewlove, a woman who took in unwanted babies.
"I intend to take from him everything he holds dear-including the lady at his side." Mick wants revenge but how far will he be willing to get it? After meeting Mick, she senses a freedom she has never thought to experience. Starting to feel stifled, she begins to push for more freedom. With it understood that she would eventually marry Hedley's son and their very protective nature, Aslyn has been sheltered.
All he has ever wanted is for his father to publicly acknowledge him but when his father refuses, he decides to ruin his half-brother heir.Īslyn has been the Duke of Hedley's ward for most of her life after her parents died.
Mick grew up knowing he was illegitimate and experienced all the society pitfalls because of it. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
