A very good book. I'd give it 4 1/2 stars. It was my least favorite of the 3, though. It was a good introduction to characters in all 3 books, so it served its purpose. 1-10 scale: 9.8
An interesting read.

From the back:PURSUIT OF PASSIONIn grave danger of losing her estate to a manipulating aunt- and her freedom to a despised fiance- Lady Rachel Wingate turns to Jerome Parnell, the sinfully handsome Duke of Westleigh, to save her. But his cold resistance to Rachel's sensuous charms spurs the desperate lady to abduct the aloof and arrogant lord in a misguided attempt to force his hand.ACTS OF LOVEBitter experience has taught Westleigh to mistrust beautiful women- and his brazen capture by the ravishing Lady Rachel only confirms his low opinion. But the discovery that Rachel's life is in serious danger convinces the stubborn Duke to re-examine his warring feelings- and to finally open his guarded heart to desire...and a glorious, perilous love.I really liked this book, it was a wonderful read. The story line was intriguing and Suson has a light and easy writing style. My only trouble with the book was the 'conflict' towards the end of the book where Jerome accused Rachel of adultery was resolved through physical proof, as apposed to blind faith in her. Otherwise this was a good book, well worth the read.
