From the back of the book:
She’s been burned not once but twice by London’s so-called gentlemen…
Gwen Maudsley is pretty enough to be popular, and plenty wealthy, too. But what she’s best known and loved for is being so very, very nice. When a cad jilts her at the altar - again - the scandal has her outraged friends calling for blood. Only Gwen has a different plan. If nice no longer works for her, then it’s time to learn to be naughty. Happily, she knows the perfect tutor - Alexander Ramsey, her late brother’s best friend and a notorious rogue.
So why won’t a confirmed scoundrel let her be as bad as she wants to be?
Unbeknownst to Gwen, Alex’s aloof demeanor veils his deepest unspoken desire. He has no wish to see her change, not to tempt himself with her presence when his own secrets make any future between them impossible. But on a wild romp from Paris to the Riviera, their friendship gives way to something hotter, darker, and altogether more dangerous. With Alex’s past and Gwen’s newly unleashed wildness on a collision course, Gwen must convince Alex that his wickedest intentions are exactly what she needs.
This was my first Meredith Duran book, but certainly won’t be my last. The whole “good girl going bad” plot has been done a lot, but I really liked the motivation behinds Gwen’s wicked adventure. She doesn’t want to be pitied after being left at the alter for a second time and decides that living her life to please other people doesn’t matter - she’s going to be wicked. There were a few instances where I wanted to slap her for being so naive, but on the whole I liked the journey her character took. Being wicked is something the Alex Ramsey excels at - he is the perfect man to teach Gwen just how wicked she could be. I loved Alex and his grumpy, devil-may-care attitude. It was obvious from the beginning that there was something much deeper going on under the surface with him. The back and forth between Gwen and Alex was at times hilarious and moving. I loved this couple and was rooting for them to find their happily ever after! The subplot with Alex’s brother I could have done without. It wasn’t important to the story and didn’t add anything for me. I will definitely be reading more Meredith Duran in the future.
