Some very entertaining brain candy with a lot of action, some actual bodice ripping, and handsomely stupid rogues.
After overhearing a scoundrel offering to prostitute his own sister, Justin Stearns offers to buy the poor waif himself out of the goodness of his heart.
But Justin is upset to find out that this virginal creature is actually super hot and also kind of a bitch. So she steals his pants at gunpoint and leaves. why does she steal his pants exactly? I don't think it's ever explained.
Shattered by his bruised masculinity, Justin vows to get his revenge. Conveniently she shows up at his plantation with her brother to cheat him again. Not exactly a smooth criminal.
The premise is really strange, and there are a lot of nonsensical happenings throughout the book, but I liked how pulpy and ridiculous it was. Wildly amusing.
A nice book for a rainy day.

I am a romantic at heart and this book was so captivating for me. I met Lois at a book signing and she is a very down-to-earth person easy to get along with and her story of how she got started was inspiring!
