From the cozy confines of a tiny seaside village to the glittering crush of a fashionable London soiree comes an enthralling tale of a thoroughly mismatched couple...poised to discover the rapture of love.

There was no doubt about it. What Miss Harriet Pomeroy needed was a man. Someone powerful and clever who could help her rout the unscrupulous thieves who were using her beloved caves to hide their loot. But when Harriet summoned Gideon Westbrook, Viscount St. Justin, to her aid, she could not know that she was summoning the devil himself...

Dubbed the Beast of Blackthorne Hall for his scarred face and lecherous past, Gideon was strong and fierce and notoriously menacing. Yet Harriet could not find it in her heart to fear him. For in his tawny gaze she sensed a savage pain she longed to soothe...and a searing passion she yearned to answer. Now, caught up in the beast's clutches, Harriet must find a way to win his heart - and evade the deadly trap of a scheming villain who would see them parted for all time.

Triste dar 2 estrelinhas pra um livro da Amanda Quick, mas foi isso aí. Posso resumir o meu desgosto em: não teve emoção. Eu lia, mas por ler. Não tinha curiosidade de saber o desfecho, quem era o vilão, nada.

Acho que cansei do gênero. Cansei de mocinhas cujo ponto alto da vida é esperar o mocinho dizer que a ama. Coisa que eles inevitavelmente irão fazer, no final do livro, depois da mocinha quase ser morta. Cansei de mocinhos machões, mudados pelo amor e pela fé inconcidicionais da mocinha.

Cansei mesmo.
