Known throughout for his prowess in the bedroom, Morgan Lyons, the eighth Earl of Westcliffe, cannot forgive an unpardonable affront to his honor. Discovering his young bride in the arms of his brother was a staggering blow so he banished the beautiful deceiver to the country and devoted himself to the pursuit of carnal pleasure. Claire Lyons was an innocent, frightened girl on her wedding day, seeking chaste comfort from a childhood friend. Now, years later, she has blossomed magnificently and has returned to London with one goal in mind: the seduction of her notorious husband. Unskilled in the sensual arts, she burns nonetheless for the kisses too long denied her. And she has but one Season to win back the heart of the rogue she betrayed. They are masters of seduction, London's greatest lovers. Living for pleasure, they will give their hearts to no one until love takes them by surprise.

Seriously, if couples just TALKED to each other when they have conflict, 99.5% of romance novels would disappear off the face of the Earth. The problem I have with this book is the hero's hypocrisy.
So, he leaves his bride because he thought she had an affair with his brother. And then he goes on to become an adulterer himself? Now, I wouldn't have as much as an issue if he'd be okay with his wife having affairs after that. You know, an open relationship and all, but then he berates her constantly about her being unfaithful when he was flagrantly so?
Sure, t'was the way of the world back then, but I'm trying to enjoy a good romance not get aggravated.
Also, the reason why he suddenly falls for Claire is so flimsy I can't quite believe it.
Then there's the cray cray ending ...
Not Heath's best, alas.
