Forbidden love is always a scandalous choice....
She raced across the pasture, vaulted a fence, and landed, stunned and breathless, on top of the most handsome man she had ever seen. The bemused stranger stayed to capture the fancy of the brood of orphaned children in her charge, then stole Lauren Hill's heart with a searing kiss as he left. Lauren couldn't tell him she was a widowed countess fallen on hard times. She tried to forget him--until she saw him again at a London ball. The man who haunted her dreams was a duke, out of her class...and he was pledged to another woman.
The ton is ablaze with talk of the ravishing Bavarian countess. Stunned, Alexander Christian, Duke of Sutherland, recognizes Lauren as the country girl who's captured his heart. Duty has forced him to pledge himself to another, to take his proper place in society and in Parliament. He wants one night with his blue-eyed enchantress, but will he be able to walk away from her again, or will he risk it all to be with the woman who fires his blood and makes him think of a . . . Wicked Angel.

Wicked Angel
"Wicked Angel" is the story of Lauren and Alex.
Alas.. this book went from being amazing to disappointing in like 100 pages. Let us begin..
Our heroine is a gorgeous, kind hearted, selfless woman who was forced into marriage by her unscrupulous uncle to an old man, and is now widowed at 24. She then returns with her disabled brother to Rosewood, a home which takes care of (her beloved) orphans, which is almost in shambles. She comes up with innovative plans to maintain their keep, but the debts keep piling up.
It is there she meets the enigmatic stranger Alex, and they both experience insane pangs of attraction for one another, but their courtship ends when the hero abruptly leaves.
Her shameless uncle then plans to marry her off again (after spending all her brother's inheritance) and the heroine reluctantly agrees to go and have a season in London.
Soon the couple discover each other's identity- the heroine is the widowed Bavarian countess and the hero is Duke of Sutherland (also the lord of her keep)! But despite their knowledge, they cannot keep their eyes, or hands of each other, much to the disdain of the ton.
Will their love conquer?
Things I liked:
-How insanely crazy the couple were about each other. The hero defied societal norms to ogle at the heroine, going as far to as to court her openly despite being engaged!
-The heroine and her love for the kids was so heartwarming; I also like the hero's interactions with them
My problems:
-I hated how the hero went TWICE from the heroine to his fiance, the second time also trying to coerce the latter into having sex in order to deal with his "dilemma"
-His fiance was not a bad woman. The author really made the hero sound like a dick every time the he was mean to her and ignored her
-The ending was messed up. What tf was up with all the refusals- the heroine, then the hero, then the heroine..Umm SO not fetch.
-I didn't feel it was necessary to redeem ALL the characters at the end; ie the uncle, the suitor, the fiance etc etc
-I felt they could have bought Rosewood family back home, instead of going and just visiting them
Quite disappointed at the end.
Safe with exceptions
