After reading Seven Years to Sin (see my review here). I was in the mood for another one of Sylvia Day‘s historical romances and this one didn’t disappoint either! This main characters in this book are Grayson (Gerard) and Isabel (Pel).
After being widowed young, Isabel is in no mood to get married again and is happy by herself. However Grayson is annoyed by constantly being seen as an ‘eligible bachelor’ and just wants to continue with a string of lovers. He feels the best solution is to marry Isabel and then the two of them can continue in their ways. It is definitely a marriage of convenience for both of them.
This seems like a good plan and while the two are married they are in different cities! All is going well until 4 years into the marriage Grayson returns, and this is when things get interesting. It is hot and steamy at some points just like Sylvia Day’s other books and took me a day to read!
I noticed on the FAQ section of Sylvia Day‘s website that she used Jack Hartnett (the actor from Hitch with Will Smith) as the model for the cover of this book! I can certainly see him as Grayson!
I really don’t know if I liked Seven Years to Sin or The Stranger I Married better so I have rated them both 4.5 stars. I would say she is definitely my new favourite author. Do you like these Historical Romances or do you prefer modern time stories?
