Determined to nullify her engagement to a man she does not love, Chelsea Ferguson asks Sinjun St. John, Duke of Seth, to take her to bed and ruin her reputation, never suspecting that she would find love in the process.
After lady Chealsea's farther planed to arrange A marriage to A man she can't stand, The 17 year old lady decides to enter into an illicit affair with the wickedest rake in all of London so that he could ruin her. The only problem is, Sinjin St. John duke of Seth, is not so easily persuaded, But this beautiful lady is A go getter and she will not give up on this delicious conquest. Does she have what it takes to win the heart of such A jaded rake? What was I thinking? I read this book three years ago and I did not love it at the time. Bone head that I was, I gave it 3 stars in my review book. I guess at the time I was A bit shocked at the way Chealsea relentlessly went after Sinjin without any shame. I now stand corrected! recently something made me give this book another try. Boy! I am so glad I did! Chealsea is now my favorite romance heroine out of all the books that I've read! She was only 17 years old and SJ portrayed her character to the max. She was vivacious, curious and impulsive with a rebel personality. She was the perfect mate for A man like Sinjin. I loved the way she showed her love for him by never giving up even when he tried to push her away. This book has made me into A fan of other books that has the concept of the heroine in pursuit of the hero. Sinjin's character as A rake was also beautifully portrayed. He was A real rake come to life. Their was no taming of his character. He did what real rakes would when they did not want to be caught. Some of the things he did frustrated me to no end but that was what made this book so intense and exciting! The last few chapters takes you away from England and was some of the most heartwarming scences I have ever read! This book is now on my top ten best books I have ever read list! Btw, The love scences were steamy!
A Sinful Read!

As an addicted reader, it's not often that I find a book so totally out of the ordinary. This was my first Susan Johnson novel but won't be my last. I can't think of a dull spot in the entire story. Yes, indeed it was erotic but I did not find it offensive in any way. Just a page turner from the very beginning. Sinjin and Chelsea were so in love it brought back all of the feelings of falling in love all over again. Something we should be reminded of often in our everyday existance. I fervently hope that Ms. Johnson will grace us with many more novels. She has a wonderful wit and imagination.
AWESOMLY GREAT SEX & ADVENTURE

The first Susan Johnson book I read was "Lovestorm"...since then I'm hooked. I have to read all of her books and this one is GREAT! She makes all the men in her books so desireable. Sinjin is NO exception. Great Book!
