The story starts off with a bang with Lady Mara St. Bride trying to get into Darius (Dare) Debenham's house, only in her shift and shoeless. Dare rescues her and she decides she has to rescue him from his addiction to repay him and maybe to win him.
Dare and Mara are great characters in and of themselves, there were moments where my credulity was stretched a little but the story kept me reading and kept me interested.
Overall not a bad read and I look forward to reading more in the series.
