Synopsis
The Merry Widows are thought to be among the finest ladies of society.
Though secretly, their thoughts are quite unrefined.
With the comforts of wealth to replace the absence of their husbands, the Merry Widows need not trouble themselves with marriage again. So they each agree to seek out a lover.
Beatrice, Lady Somerfield, is too busy chaperoning her niece and overseeing her own daughters to take a lover herself. Until one night at a ball a masked stranger makes her realize the delights she's been missing. He's Gabriel, the Marquess of Thayne, the man half the debutantes of London want for a husband. Thayne is captivated by Beatrice, and their attraction leads to a few satisfying encounters.
As he searches for a bride among the Season's young ladies, he finds himself increasingly drawn to Beatrice, and wants her as his wife. But will Beatrice's deepening feelings for Thayne be enough to overcome her vow never to marry again, and the scandal once their relationship is revealed?

December 22, 2006: The second in the series of books about widows taking lovers but ultimately finding love. I found this to be excellent. The first book was a bit of a conventional in that how could she love someone other than her dead husband, but this one was novel in that it was her independence that kept her from love. This book acknowledges that older is wiser and sexier, and this one is sexy from start to finish.

November 21, 2006: A surprisingly good read. Full of witty and charming characters with equally good dialogue. It rarely fell into the trap of cliche adjectives and swooning females, which made it all the better. The book could have been much better with a different ending. It felt forced and abrupt, but nevertheless a worthy read.
