But did they grovel enough for you to accept their happily ever after? In my opinion, yes – but we all have our own personal perspectives on what would be enough.He is the Killer Duke, accused of murdering Mara Lowe on the eve of her wedding. MacLean is the Queen of the grovel and in this book both characters needed to grovel. But I do want people to know that this is very different then MacLean’s other books. So I do not want to dissuade people from reading, you may LOVE IT.
Now, there were others who ADORED this romance. At points, I found it difficult to root for the two of them to get together. Yes, he is mad, but it was all a bit much. Temple also treated Mara disrespectfully on more than one occasion. Despite MacLean explicitly telling us that Mara was not afraid, I did not like it.

Yes, I agree he had every right to be livid with Mara for framing him as a murderer. His interactions with Pippa made me smile. We know Temple, the Duke of Lamont or Killer Duke from the previous Rule of Scoundrel novels, and I must admit I enjoyed him.
