She had always championed him, and in equal measure, challenged him. He thought of the way she’d not hesitated to speak up for him. I admired the way she bucked decorum and stood up for Sebastian in front of everyone. When Sebastian and Mary see each other after twelve years, the emotion and passion was strong and palpable, which is typical of a Heath book. I thoroughly enjoyed the interactions between Sebastian and his brothers and also between him and Mary. She Tempts the Duke is a good read, though isn’t among my favorites by Lorraine Heath. Now she is torn between her commitment to her fiancé and her reemerging feelings towards her childhood friend and love. Shortly after her homecoming, she was proposed to by Lord Fitzwilliam, a future marquess, and accepted. Mary, herself, had only recently returned to society after being sent to a nunnery for her own protection after she confessed to her father of Lord David’s evil intentions towards Sebastian and his brothers all those years ago.
