I loved how Julia was the one woman that Aidan could never have but the one woman that he always wanted. She goes to the Duke of Trathen, of course. So she goes to the one person who would know what to do but who probably wants nothing to do with her. She’s starting with cleaning up her debt problems, only she has no idea what she’s going to do about it because the small allowance that Paul gives her won’t put a dent in it. She’s put them through the wringer with her antics during her marriage and she’s determined to make things right for them. She got the divorce for herself but she’s turning her life around for her family. Aidan, on the other hand, is furious but because he’s a gentleman, he doesn’t give Julia the cut direct like she was expecting.Īfter Julia finally gets her divorce, she’s faced with a freedom that she’s always craved and while she’s excited about that, she’s also trying to clear up the debt that she racked up while being married to Yardley. Julia wants a divorce and she’s desperate enough to go to any lengths to secure a divorce and when Aidan gets caught in the middle of it all, she’s sorry for it but she doesn’t regret it. I knew that something was going on between Julia and Aidan in WotS and I knew that it was going to be a good story and boy was I not disappointed. As much as I enjoyed the first book, Wedding of the Season, I enjoyed this book a little more.

This is the second book in the Abandoned at the Altar series and I ate this book up. This review was originally posted on January 25, 2011. What is it about this brazen seductress that he finds so hard to resist? And how can he stop himself from falling into her bed a second time? Hot, erotic memories of kissing her skin, falling into her bed, pulling her naked body on top of his own continue to torment and tempt him. So when she needed to be caught in a compromising situation, Aidan was the answer to her prayers.Īidan is supposed to be looking for a bride, yet his scandalous liaison with Julia is all he can think about.
