Blurb:
The cure for a willful wife . . .
Drusilla Clare is full of opinions about why a woman shouldn’t marry. But that doesn’t stop the rush of desire she feels each time her best friend’s 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 Gabriel’s heartless—and heart-pounding—proposal comes, it’s enough to make Dru’s formidable resolve crumble . . .
. . . is a smitten husband.
She’s sharp-tongued, exasperating—and due to one careless moment—about to become his wife. Still, something about Drusilla has Gabriel intrigued. First there’s the delicious flush of her skin every time she delivers a barb—and then the surprisingly sensual feel of her in his arms. Gabriel even finds himself challenged by her unusual philosophies. And when he discovers a clandestine rival for Dru’s affection, his temperature flares even hotter. But the real threat to their happiness is one neither of the newlyweds sees coming. If they’re to save their future—and their very lives—they’ll need to trust in each other and their growing love.
My rating: 4 out of 5 starts
My review:
Notorious is the first book in the Rebels of the Ton series. It was well written and drew me in from the beginning. It was a typical marriage of convenience storyline, but the couple was in caught in a compromising position due to an enemy. Drusilla is the typical wallflower who is happy not being married but is forced into marrying the man she has loved since she met him. Gabriel is a player with a reputation, but Drusilla is his sister’s best friend, so they are forced to endure each other’s presence. Drusilla uses her sharp-tongue and wit to keep her desire for Gabriel hidden. Can they make a marriage between themselves work?
