Revenge is a dish best served cold.... For one moment after Chrissy overheard Blaze Kenyon making a cruel joke at her late mother's expense, she knew the heady sensation of revenge - but then she realized she'd lost control, and her job... and put herself totally at Blaze's mercy! She had to accept the housekeeping job that Blaze then arranged for her, if she was to provide a secure home for little Rosie. Chrissy comforted herself that even if it hurt to accept Blaze's help, it wouldn't be him who would be her lord and master, so he couldn't make her the target of his blackmailing, womanizing ways...

This one is quite unusual for Lynne in that the Hero is British. She captures the aristocratic high handed nature really well and Blaze is an excellent hero. Chrissy on the other hand comes from a family who are 'nouveau riche' and desperately ashamed of the snobbishness her father and siblings show. Left in charge of her infant half sister, she finds herself broke and virtually homeless when she meets Blaze again. He, thinking that Rosie is her own child, offers her a job which leads to a whole loads of misunderstandings. Favourite scene has to be when Chrissy drinks to much brandy and tells Blaze that he's the last man she'd ever want. There's a great use of sub characters in this book and the feeling of living in a close community where everyone knows everyone elses business. Chrissy's family are horrendous and she's very much the exception. Blaze cold and cruel demeanour hides an honorable and loving man. I always enjoy re reading this one. Again, highly recommended.
