How hard can it be to marry an Heiress? Not terribly, Stuart Drake thinks, if you're good-looking, charming, and in line for a Viscount title, which, fortunately, he is. To end his penniless existence, he simply has to convince his intended bride's shrewish, wizened old guardian that he isn't a fortune hunter...which, unfortunately, he is in the extreme. Still, once he meets the old witch, how difficult could it prove to charm her? Quite, actually. Especially when the lady in question is temptation made flesh - a gorgeous widow with a reputation for knowing a rake when she sees one, having bedded many herself. She'd rather die than let Stuart win. And with his plans thwarted, Stuart has only one option: to take revenge on his tormentor through seduction. But learning what this woman needs might only leave him hungry for more...

I found i enjoyed this book very much, Very interesting characters and a good plot. Page turner!!
2 characters who don't like each other at the begining who than learn to trust each other. It has all the emotions that you would look for with good witty dialogues between the main characters.

A superior debut!!!

If you like the large regency romances(a la Lisa Kleypas, Julia Quinn, Eloisa James, etc.), this one's for you! Even if you're a romance reader but are repulsed by the regency genre, this one's still for you! I don't care for reviews that summarize the plot but let me just say it's about a rogue who's looking to marry a fortune and an aunt who's out to protect her niece from just such a rogue. Great characterization of two mature (in their 30s!) individuals who are not what they seem. Wonderful dialogue. And not a contrived plot device to be seen. What a refreshing change in the typical paperback regency! I took a chance on an unknown author and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the writing. Do yourself a favor and buy this book!

A New Voice To Watch In Romance

From page one the characters in this charming book reached out and grabbed me. Page after page I just got sucked in deeper until I closed the book with a happy sigh. This book had everything you need to create a good romance: a dashing hero, a beautiful feisty heroine, something that always seems to interfere with the hero and heroine, and, most of all...PASSION! The love scenes are ample & steamy, and the plot is a good one. A fast paced book with an intricate plot that I cannot help but enjoy. What a Woman Needs has a strong (but not obnoxious) heroine who is in no way ordinary, a back story which is compelling but doesn't get in the way of the love story, and of course a wonderful hero. Both the hero and the heroine have secrets of their own, which are slowly brought to light by the author, like layers being peeled from a (very good) onion....
It was written with an amazing level of intensity and feeling that my heart was pumping furiously with the palatable passion and keen scents of danger in the story. The relationship between the leads is endearing. The secondary characters are enjoyable as well. I found the characters to be multi-dimensional and the author weaves a mystery into the story without slowing it down or interrupting the romantic flow. The interaction between the leads was great. They really enjoyed smarting off to each other because they did not like a lot about each other in the beginning. But their disagreements were often very funny. This book is sharp and fast-moving. Filled with Lovable and exciting characters. This was a very entertaining book. This book was a pleasure to read and I couldn't put it down until it was finished. Filled with Lovable characters, exciting and not too heavy mystery twists. I positively devoured this book. :-) This book is a gem.
Caroline Linden has found a perfect match for the notorious Stuart Drake with feisty Charlotte Griffolino. They are well matched in temperament, intelligence and in their unhappy childhood. It was an interesting. There is enough conflict to make the story line interesting and not so much that your left wondering why they ever got together.

lost potential

Format:Mass Market Paperback
What is it with historical romantic fiction these days? What is it with the stolen treasure/a heroine falsely accused of murder/a long-lost treasure map? What happened to good ol fashioned sexual tension coupled (pardon the pun) with some familial objections and secret rendevous? If I want suspense and a cliched gun-goes-off-oh-no-who-does-it-hit? scene I'll read some John Grisham. What a Woman Needs in her romantic fiction is basically Pride and Prejudice but with more sex.
The author has all the makings of a Judith Ivory-esque book: good writing, two appealing romantic leads, a complication with the heroine's family, some hot bedroom action. She proceeds to muck it up with some convuluted story about a lost treasure which of course takes away from valuable snog time. If you like a predictable chase scene, this is the book for you.
All I know is Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy never had to chase after mummies.
