In the Wolf’s Lair . . .
Determined to stop her wayward brother from squandering their dwindling fortune, Lady Eliza Brentford decides to follow him to his favorite den of depravity. There, among the candlelight and raucous revelry, she encounters her brother’s role model in debauchery, the notorious Marquess of Haddan, Gryffin Dwight. Staring into his smoldering green eyes, Eliza can’t help but find the rakehell nobleman seductively charming-and sinfully attractive.
In a Lover’s Paradise . . .
When Gryffin appears on Eliza’s estate as a guest of her brother, a stolen kiss among the garden’s blooms leads to a night of unbridled passion. Suddenly the lovely widow feels herself opening up, like the petals of a rose. Could this master of seduction possibly feel true emotion for Eliza? Or is he leading her down the garden path to an Eden of delights no woman can resist-and a fall no woman can escape? 


Eliza a widow that was forced to go live with her brother. Eliza spends a lot of her money and time getting him out of trouble. Eliza just wants to  get herself a cottage so she can be away from her brother and his scheming. And make a life for herself for once.
Haddan, a man that for the most part has enjoyed doing whatever made him happy in life. Haddan started becoming restless with the way his life is going.
Eliza and Haddan meet when Eliza goes to a brothel to try to make her brother Harry see that they were losing all of their money from all of his exploits.  Haddan becomes intrigued by Eliza and passionate spirit. Haddan agrees to go to Harry’s house part partly to just to learn more about Eliza. Haddan also really appreciates the grounds of Leete Abby. While Haddan is at Leete Abby he starts to fall in love with Eliza and her with him. They both try to deny their attraction to each other. But Eliza see falling for Haddan as the complete ruin of her dreams and hopes of being out from the control of the men in her life.   And Haddan has a hard time getting Eliza to believe that she means more to then just a brief fling between the sheets. 
The relationships between the characters was very believable. I found my self hoping Eliza would just leave her brother to his own devices and find out how hard real life was. 
The romance between Eliza and Haddan was steamy. I could really feel the chemistry between the two.
After reading Too Wicked To Wed and this book Too tempting To Resist I cant wait for the third book of The Lords Of Midnight!

    I really enjoyed this book–4 stars for me, but it was *almost* a 4.5 And I probably would have given it more if I had read it at a different time–I had just finished a OMG GREAT book a few days before and I think no matter what I picked up that day, it would have paled in comparison. 🙂 LOL.

    Enjoy!
