Leo Bailey was born to a
saddle maker, but he has bigger plans for himself. Even though the aristocracy
turns down their collective nose at a commoner that doesn’t stop Leo from making
money hand-over-fist in an effort to buy his way into the elite crowd. Once he’s
obscenely rich all he needs to do his buy himself a titled wife. The Honorable
Anne Hartfield, the daughter of an impoverished baron, is who he chooses. He
rushes the marriage and afterwards, as he gets to know her better, he falls in
love. But how will she react when she finds out, in order to make even more
money, he made a deal with the devil?
This book started out
with such promise. A man who has an uncanny money sense, making a fortune in
the Market, who along with his Hellraiser friends, decides to make a deal with the devil in order to make even more money who falls in love with the
woman he buys to be his wife. Their love story alongside his ego-driven plans
make for an interesting tale. However, it drags on in parts, Leo is mostly
unlikeable, and the paranormal stuff that should have been fascinating and
exciting, falls flat. Overall, a disappointing read.
