Ryder, ex-convict and drug addict, is found innocent of his crime.  His family have taken to his estate and married him off while in prison.  Jessie, trying to survive in this home with madmen and a strange husband, does wonderfully under such strange conditions.  Despite the odd romance these two have a true burning for each other.  Sex is off the charts and burns through the words.  Barrett writes bad boys and she does it well with naughty and arrogant being their best qualities.  Jessie is strong minded and seems an equal match to his witty smarts and sex drive.  Exciting, romantic and a bit suspenseful this was quite enjoyable.  My copy was given for an honest review.
