When the prize is Isabel Grayson, vengeance is doubly rewarding. A lady of persuasion : a novel by Dare, Tessa. What better way to get back at an enemy than by stealing the scoundrel’s sister? Not that Toby finds it a chore, seducing a beguiling, sultry beauty freshly arrived from the West Indies. Only one thing could convince Sir Tobias Aldridge, an incorrigible libertine, to profess undying fidelity to a woman he’s just met. Tessa Dare’s A Lady of Persuasion reminds me of Amanda Quick’s Scandal in the sense that if you have no patience with the heroine and write her off as a one-note dingbat early in the story, you will end up missing completely. Tessa Dare spins a witty, wanton tale of passion and conquest, as a reformer and a rake find unexpected love. Ballantine, 6.99, ISBN 978-8-7 Historical Romance, 2009.
