The duke listens carefully to the woman’s story and proposes a marriage to atone for his brother’s actions. She is willing to see justice delivered by any means necessary: a duel, or a peaceful approach. Lady Jocelyn visits the Duke of Clayton with the intention to negotiate a compensation for her ruined reputation. This was an absolute delight! Since I was looking for a short story to keep me entertained for a few hours, Stacy Reid’s novella was the perfect choice. I give this book a definite A! and I look forward to reading more from this author in the future. For its length, I found the plot and characters to be very well-developed. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the story, though. The title is intriguing, and actually is what first captured my attention. He intends to thoroughly take his pleasure with her.and demands his own satisfaction in return.First of all, I must say that I wasn't entirely sure what to expect when I read this book. And to find a wife with such spirit and fire - even if she means to only marry him for his money - would be a great prize indeed. Now, it's his turn.Sebastian is in need of a wife. But Jocelyn has made the first move against a very dangerous opponent.For Sebastian Thornton is no callow youth to be trifled with. Even if it means demanding the hand of the dark and foreboding Duke himself. For Lady Jocelyn demands satisfaction - and she will have it at any cost.
After all, desperate times called for desperate measures.If the only way to save her family's estate and reputation was to aim a derringer pistol at the Duke of Calydon, then so be it. But Lady Jocelyn Rathbourne's will had to remain strong. Alright, so as far as rash decisions went, this perhaps wasn't the wisest course of action.
