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. 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. See all books authored by Sarah MacLean, including Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake, and A Rogue by Any Other Name, and more on. 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. At one point, Temple chases Mara through the streets. Pushing through the throng of men who paid good money to watch the fight, he ignored the reach of the grinning, cheering multitudes, their fingers clamoring for a touch of the sweat-dampened skin turned black with ink that encircled his arms something they could brag about for years to come. But I actually found him kind of scary and not in a good way. 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.
