Devil's Desire by Laurie McBain

I first read this about 25 years ago. I remembered it because I read it in one afternoon. It was the first time I had done such a thing, and it always stuck with me! When I saw it was being reprinted, I decided to read it again!

I think I liked it better the first time. It was a bit predictable, the 2nd time and decades later. She told herself she loved him, but didn't trust her husband enough to tell her she wasn't having an affair. He knew she was a virgin when he married her but of course if she is meeting some mysterious man, she must be having an affair with him, so then he has to make her believe that he is leaving her in the country so he can resume his affair with the woman he loves in London....both of them so dramatic and so immature!

SO much drama at the end. A whirlwind of drama. And of course, all is forgiven and ends happily ever after. But as dramatic as the two of them are, I don't think the drama will stop at the end of the story. Still I would recommend it to someone who wants lush descriptions and a fine example of 1970's best selling historical romance.
