Title: A disappointment.
Product review: Foley's other books in this series had strong heroes with black backgrounds, believable heroines, and interesting settings that went outside the typical London society setting. Foley is great at drawing you into a scene or situation with vivid descriptions.But in Devil, Foley disappoints by dropping the heroine willingly into the hero's lap on day one (after spending pages explaining the woman's determination to never trust or love a man again). The hero's degree of guilt for something over which he had no control is silly. So is her saccharine sweet goodness, alternating self-reliance and helplessness, and too-even temper. You know early on that she's won him with her goodness, and that he'll come around as soon as he finishes his little revenge project. Their problems aren't troubling enough to justify the elaborate situations they have to overcome to end up together, and so neither is the happy ending.
