Sins of a Wicked Duke by Sophie Jordan
4.0
A fun story of a woman pretending to be a man, a rake, intense attraction between the two, bitterness, numbness and an extra dose of the dramatic.
Fallon is having trouble holding a job when the only thing she really wants is a home of her own and security. Desperate, she disguises herself as a man and takes a job that brings her close to a renowned rake who had propositioned her once. He has no idea who she is and she gets to see firsthand how scandalous his life is.
Dominic desperately needs something to get him out of the restless state he's been in for years and does all sorts of scandalous things to achieve that goal, mostly in vain. His childhood traumas haunt him and taint his relationship with his only living relative, his grandfather.
The pair find what they need in each other, although it takes a long time for them both to realize it. They both need to forgive, forget and re-evaluate what is important in their lives.
An interesting story that introduced us briefly to the heroine of the next book and Fallon's childhood friend, Evelyn. Looking forward to reading her story.
