Review and Giveaway – TO SURRENDER TO A ROGUE by Cara Elliot

47219044From the back of the book:

An expert in antiquities, Lady Alessandra della Giamatti arrives in Bath to excavate newly discovered Roman ruins – only to find herself caught in the web of a blackmailer threatening to expose her scandalous past. The one man who can help her is Lord James “Black Jack” Pierson, a fellow member of the expedition and a sinfully handsome rogue whose tempting presence ignites a different sort of danger.

Jack has clashed with Alessandra in the past, so when she suddenly surrenders her body he can’t help being suspicious. Is she a scheming temptress? Or is she truly a lady in trouble? As desire and deceptions swirl around them, Alessandra and Jack must find a way to win each other’s trust. For if they don’t work together to uncover a shocking truth, their enemy – and their own simmering passions – may destroy them and everything they cherish.

TO SURRENDER TO A ROGUE is the second book in the Circle of Sin series. I didn’t really care for the first book (TO SIN WITH A SCOUNDREL), but decided to give this one a chance. I really enjoyed this book. Alessa and Jack are an interesting couple. I loved their fighting and bickering. This added to the sexual tension of the story! Alessa has a terrible secret in her past and no one to lean on until Jack comes into her life. My favorite part of the book was when she finally lets him in and he doesn’t flinch at what happened in the past and promises to help her no matter what. It is so romantic. My only problem was how long it took for the couple to come to their senses about each other. It was at least 3/4 of the way through the book. I would have liked for that to happen a bit earlier. I’m looking forward to the next book in this series.
