Synopsis

FACT: Drawing under a male pseudonym, Maggie is known as Lemarc. Her (his!) favorite object of ridicule: Simon Barrett, Earl of Winchester. He's a rising star in Parliament—and a former confidant and love interest of Maggie's who believed a rumor that vexes her to this day.

FICTION: Maggie is the half-Irish Harlot who seduced her best friend's husband on the eve of their wedding. She is to be feared and loathed as she will lift her skirts for anything in breeches.

Still crushed by Simon's betrayal, Maggie has no intention of letting the ton crush her as well. In fact, Lemarc's cartoons have made Simon a laughingstock...but now it appears that Maggie may have been wrong about what happened years ago, and that Simon has been secretly yearning for her since . . . forever. Could it be that the heart is mightier than the pen and the sword after all?

Contains mature themes.

Flojo, muy flojo. Simon me gustó mucho en el anterior libro y estaba deseando leer su historia, pero ha sido un despropósito total. Falta de argumentos, enamoramiento instantánea, prejuicios a mansalva, escenas de cama propias de adolescente y un final apresurado. Si siguiese con la serie, sería por Qu......more

3'5 Estrellas, me ha gustado, pero no tanto como el primero. Lo que puedo decir a favor de la escritora es que tiene algunas originalidades, peculiaridades etc., como si fuese una reinventora de la novela de Regencia. En ésta novela se toca un tema muy sensible, cómo puede afectarle a una mujer inoce......more

i dare say, the wicked deceptions series is decidedly one of the more superior joanna shupe publications i’ve read the rogue of fifth avenue and the lady gets lucky and noticed a commonality, or rather some tid bits about the setting (ie the gilded age/new york/outside of regency england) that just......more

I can see why some readers might not like this one, but I really enjoyed it. Second chance, a good amount of angst, some sexy spice, I don't care I was happy. Did I kind of wanna smack the MMC at one point? Yes lol but he made up for it.......more
