Title: The Rakehell of Roth (Everleigh Sisters #2)
Author: Amalie Howard
Stars: 4
Review:
An
excellent story of a battle between a cat and mouse. Both appear to want the
same piece of cheese (sex) but neither is inclined to let the other win as it
would make them realize and declare their own closely guarded secret. They are
already married to each other so the battle lines are drawn. The reader must
decide if the "moral high ground", believed to be held by both
parties, should be breeched and by which individual. Who will be the ultimate
winner? A delightful steamy romance to enjoy on a cold winter day.

received an ARC from Netgalley for my unbiased review.
Synopsis:
In this game of seduction, the rules don't apply...
As owner of the most scandalous club in London, the last thing the notorious Marquess of Roth wants is a wife. Keeping up his false reputation as a rake brings in the clients with the deepest pockets—money he needs to fund a noble cause. Even though everything inside tells him not to leave his beautiful, innocent wife behind at his country estate...he must.
But three years later, tired of her scoundrel of a husband headlining the gossip rags, Lady Isobel Vance decides enough is enough. She is no longer a fragile kitten, but as the anonymous author of a women’s sexual advice column, she’s now a roaring tigress...and she can use her claws.
Isobel decides to go to him in London, channeling her powers of seduction to make him beg to take her back. But she didn’t expect her marauding marquess to be equally hard to resist. Now the game is on to see who will give in to the other first, with both sides determined like hell to win.
