In this Regency romance, Gray Sutherland is one of London's
most notorious rakes. Mothers fear him, and daughters
desire him. But Claire Ashcroft has only one thought on her
mind when it comes to London's legendary womanizer--
revenge. Gray killed Claire's brother, Oliver, during a
duel. Since her brother's death, Claire has been consumed
by hatred and the desire to avenge the death of her only
living relative.
Claire comes up with a clever plan to exact her revenge.
She will insinuate herself into Gary's circles under the
name of Claire Westfield. Once she is acquainted with her
brother's murderer, she will use all her feminine charms to
make him fall hopelessly in love with her. Once Claire is
confident that she has Gray's heart, she will crush it the
way he crushed hers when he killed her brother.
Claire's quest for revenge does not go as smoothly as
she planned. She never imagined her brother's killer
would be as impossibly handsome as Gray Sutherland. Claire
manages to be noticed by her unsuspecting target, who is
immediately taken in by Claire's beauty. Claire
immediately kicks her plan into action, and her flirting
with her worst enemy produces instant results. But Claire
never imagined that she would need every ounce of strength
to resist her brother's killer.
When Gray discovers Claire's real identity, he is stunned
that the beauty he desperately desired is the sister of the
man he killed in a duel years ago. Gray vows never to see
Claire again, but their one night of passion changes everything.
Readers who enjoy a good love/hate relationship will be
charmed by this regency romance. Claire and Gray's
irresistible desire for each other defies all logic. THE
SINS OF VISCOUNT SUTHERLAND does have a few flaws though.
Claire's attraction to Gary is too sudden considering he
murdered her brother. In one scene, Claire begins listing
Gray's many faults, but she forgets to add that he murdered
her brother.
Gray and Claire's stormy relationship and repeated breakups
will leave readers frustrated. After a few chapters of
comings and goings, readers will begin to feel that the
characters are, in fact, better off apart. The ending was
well-written and will satisfy readers. Once Claire and Gray
work out their differences and realize the depth of their
love, readers will feel like shedding a tear or two.
However, Claire and Gray's constant bickering does grow
tiresome.
Claire Ashcroft has good reason to despise Viscount Grayson
Sutherland—and not because of his arrogance, charm, and
irresistible allure. A wildly unpredictable man with a
frightening reputation, Sutherland is responsible for the
death of someone Claire loved deeply. She'd kill him if she
could. Instead, she'll employ her feminine wiles to make
him pay. And once he's deeply, irreversibly in love with
her, she'll shatter his vulnerable heart and leave him
broken. Her scheme works perfectly... too perfectly.
For who would have imagined that beneath Sutherland's
dangerous exterior was a lost man haunted by his sins?
Or that one night in his arms would ignite a scandal so
dire she'd be forced to wed the handsome blackguard?
Or that she'd find herself helpless, falling under the
spell of the very rogue she means to destroy?
