On a night
when the Devil’s Trio are bored to tears, Anterton proposes a little
bet with Ransom, while the third man Carlyle listens on in
disagreement. Looking for a little sport, Ransom, the Earl of
Leahaven, accepts Anterton’s bet. He must get a marriage acceptance
from the plump daughter of the Marquis of Samford.
Ransom
believes it will be easy because not many can resist his charms, but
when he continually meets up with Lady Winifred he finds the bet in
bad taste and wants Winifred for real. Unfortunately, with his
money next to null, Ransom’s friend Anterton talks him out of
eloping with Winifred and he leaves her heartbroken. Leaving
Winifred behind turns out to be worse thing Ransom could have done.
Will he ever be able to win her back?
Winifred has
lived five years after her horrible botched elopement with the Earl
of Leahaven. The pain of Ransom leaving her is now a dull ache.
Then Ransom makes his reemergence back into society and once again
Winifred feels old emotions surface. How can she ever get over the
past?
The
Devil’s Proposal by
Jodici Belle had many elements of a great story! The emotion
created by Ransom and Winifred felt raw and real. There is suspense
that will grip you along with the great plot line that flows
smoothly. After reading The Devil’s Proposal Ransom
and Winifred really fit their personalities bringing everything
around them to life. This historical romance really fit the bill
and I loved every swoop, dance, and kiss Jodici Belle delivered.
Great Job!
