I fully understand the hype about Derek Craven after reading this book. Derek Craven is a quintessential historical romance hero - he was born in a drainpipe and built himself up from nothing! He's sexy! He's heartless - or is he? I also really enjoyed Sara. She was determined to get her way while still holding onto her sweetness and principles. I do think that Kleypas somewhat unfairly makes Sara endure a significant amount of trauma in this book, but this plot is The Whole Banana. Very unfortunate that Derek ultimately goes from being a casino owner to a landlord, a much less honorable profession. If you like a classic histrom with a hard hearted hero, you'll love this one!
