"One tryst was all she wanted...From their very first meeting, Julia knew that Aidan Carr, the oh-so-proper Duke of Trathen, had a bit of the devil in him, a devil who secretly yearned for what he could not have, a devil who harbored a desire for her. So when she needed to be caught in a compromising situation, Aidan was the answer to her prayers. One tryst just wasn't enough...Aidan is supposed to be looking for a bride, yet his scandalous liaison with Julia is all he can think about. Hot, erotic memories of kissing her skin, falling into her bed, pulling her naked body on top of his own continue to torment and tempt him. What is it about this brazen seductress that he finds so hard to resist? And how can he stop himself from falling into her bed a second time?"--P. [4] of cover.

I love this author's writing (read another book by her) up until the characters start getting ready to consummate the relationship, and admit they want each other. It just felt like we went from “I can't be with her” to the hero expressing obvious interest in her too abruptly. This book, along with the other I read (Duke After Dark, I think?) could benefit from more subtle and nuanced writing and character depth. Why is the hero really interested in her, besides her looks? Why would he even be willing to entertain the idea of risking his reputation? I didn't feel the love, just the lust.
