Grab Instantly Reckless Need (Hearts Temptation #3) By Scarlett Scott Presented As Ebook
was an interesting book for me, It was not what I was expecting and the scandal of the century was one that, in my opinion, never was.
I was looking forward to the scandal and how they dealt with it, they got married and that was all we heard about it, Together Heath and Tia were combustible and brooding, They each had their reasons for holding back parts of their past, but Heath took it a bit far, There was a lot of yelling and aggression, nothing physical, that really had me wanting to put him in a corner for a very long time out.
Tia was charming and did things to try to bring Heath out of his funk, but her approach was more like a bull in the china shop, rather than a caring spouse.
The story was nice, but there were chances to allow secondary characters help, but it was always Heath and Tia.
I enjoy the added dimension that secondary characters bring to the HEA, this story had very little of this, In the end, we did get the HEA, but it was a bit painful for me getting to it, The heat level was also surprising and while I understand that was a main contributing factor to their relationship, it did not have to be the only factor.
Here again, there were chances to have other characters help them to come to their HEA and it was missed,
I am giving this a,star rating because of the missed opportunities and the heat level that caught me totally off guard and consumed the story.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book, The Reckless needs
Love the characters in the story, Tia is strong good heart woman that discovery herself and help the duke to do the same.
I give this a.rating. It kept my interest and did not deal a lot with misunderstandings without communication, I was able to clearly imagine the characters, 'Cause that's the reason I read this stuff is to enhance my overly active imagination, I was hoping for more, The book started off well, and I liked the hero in particular at first, He's supposed to be a dull, staid man, but comes across as dryly humorous and downtoearth before he marries the heroine.
Basically, he seems like the antithesis of most of the angstridden blusterers in this genre, He's almost too patient with the, at times, irrationally stubborn h, But then to create the conflict in the plot he falls into "alphadefault mode, " H becomes overdramatic, jealous, and lustdriven, throwing temper tantrums that just don't fit the character initially presented, The heroine comes across as too impulsive at times, but I still don't like the way the hero intended to "punish" her possible trigger warning some readers are into the bondage thing, I know, but I'm not one of them.
Sex scenes typically furnish WAY too much of this author's plots, and unfortunately this book is no exception, It's a pity, because I loved the couple's easy, sexy chemistry at the beginning of the book, I liked the easy chemistry between Tia and Heath, And I liked the fact that Heath was not judging her, He accepted her for the passionate woman that she was, They were sweet together. I have always liked H who paints the h in the nude, it,s really HOT, Not Bad Stars
Heath, the Duke of Devonshire, has kept a tight rein on his passions and desires, as a form of penance for not being in England when the women he loved lay dying.
His restraint and silence have led to some such as the widow Lady Tia Stokey, viewing him as dull and boring.
Heath for his part desires a bride that will not risk his heart, a bride whose comportment is very different to that of Tias, but one kiss changes the trajectory of both their lives.
The scandal of the century, in my eyes really wasnt one, so I do think that component of the blurb is a misrepresentation of the plot/book.
That being said what I liked about this book was that it never felt like Tia was second best, something I was worried about as the tale of Heaths first love was revealed.
The focus in this book is on Tia and Heath and their interactions and their relationship development and dramas, there is a little bit of drama towards the end coming from an outside source
This was a nice enjoyable, one time read overall, but I dont know, reading it straight after the previous book by the author highlighted a sense of sameness which I may have not otherwise noticed so clearly.
The author is certainly good at creating couples who have good chemistry even as they clash, but it would be nice if the author changed things up when it came to the dynamics between the main characters.
Acquired via KU, This one is my favorite in the series,
Frankly, I adore Tia, She is everything I understand and found her to be a unique character, Bold, outspoken, caring and clearly assured in her desires, Heath is a wonderful offset to her, Refreshing and brilliant. Super spicy. Garden attraction
Tia is a Merry Widow! Heath is a lonely Duke looking for a wife! Instant attraction betweenunlikely people! Heath enjoys the country and peace and quiet! Tia enjoys parties and beautiful gowns! The road to HEA is rocky but get there they do! Its hilarious and wonderful!Stars
Quick
Excellent writing by sitelinkScarlett Scott.
A "compromisedcaughtmarried" plot
with a twist,
The real duchy of Devonshire, including the family name of Cavendish amp the seat of Chatsworth,
Grumpy, hunk of a hero who paints!
Flighty heroine who meddles!
Excellent chemistry between the two, A sweet romance that was at times heartbreaking,
Finalwas all over the place, which was its only downside,
A fun, quick read that I finished in one sitting!
This novel had a lot of good moments, a lot of sweet moments BUT it also had lot of just okay moments that really didn't bring the same warm smile to my face as the other moments had.
However, even though there were times when it would lull and I would begin to ponder about choosing another novel, something would grab my attention again just enough to reel me back in to stick by the side of this author.
In the end, though, I'm glad I finished reading this novel, Loving and Heartfelt story
This book was a little sexy for me but not as I experienced that type of love with my husband for almostyears.
I lost himyears ago but it brings back memories before he became ill, Smoking Hot . .
This book lit up my kindle, lol, Im not much on the Widow gets her Duke, but these two were adorable, I love a brooding hero, I love em!
This author always writes a good steamy historical with good story and fun characters, Im totally enjoying this series, Recommend. Wow!
Another wonderful book by Scarlett Scott! Absolutely loved this story, Great storyline and the characters were perfect together, Always feel like I am back in that time, Can't wait to read the next book, I enjoyed this book quite a lot of explicit sex but the story was a good one, Heath, the Duke of Devonshire, is leading a boring life amp blaming himself after his true love died while he was in Italy.
After years, he has decided he must do his duty to the Dukedom amp marry amp present an heir, He meets a widow, Tia, Lady Stokey amp though he is enticed by her she is not the innocent, reputable bride he needs to marry.
Unable to stay away from each other, they cause a possible scandal of the century but nothing will keep Heath from claiming her as his bride.
There are so many walls to be broken down between them, from their past loves to the fact that neither wants to love again because of the hurt they felt.
Will Heath amp Tia find their HEA or are there just too many ghosts to chase away I highly recommend this whole series amp can't wait to read the next one with Helen, Tia's sister.
I think Scarlett Scott writes just the perfect amount of Romance and Steam, If you read her books, then you wont be disappointed, Tia and Heath
I loved the characters names! Perfect for a romance, I liked the story but I didn't really love it and I can't figure out why, They were very passionate together and she was a worldly widow and he a Duke but it just annoyed me at times.
Him searching for a wife while carrying on with her and she and an ex love and it was just not my jam.
I did like the ending though and it was good, Plus it was free on KU, Lady Tia is a beautiful widow and Heath a very handsome Duke,
She is a free willed woman and a bit scandalize, he is known as dull and boring, But he is not, he has had his heart broken and is wary of love,
This book was so much fun to read, It is witty, romantic, fun and a bit of drama, and of course hot love!! I recommend Ms, Scarlett's books always! I feel like I haven't read a HR in years, This book was enough to restart my interest, It was good, a good amount of steam and plot, Will check out the other books in the series, Don't miss the third book in Scarlett Scott's sweeping historical romance series, . .
