I don't really remember when did I buy this book but I bought it because it's about another character (who is the troublemaker) in The Heir, also by Johanna Lindsey. As usual, I like to keep track on other characters in each book that I've read. Which is one of the reason I love Johanna Lindsey's book!
Since I read The Heir first before this book, I though that I knew quite well about Ophelia Reid.
She a beauty, ridiculously beautiful that even girls likes to flock around her. Gentlemen seems to keep on asking her for her hand in marriage. And she keeps on rejecting them, over and over again.
She also likes rumour. She loves spreading rumours, even she knew it's not a bit less true. She doesn't have any TRUE friends since her so call friends just want to be famous by been seeing with her around the ball!
She is The Popular Girl. And she HATE it!
Which is why AFTER I've read The Devil Who Tame Her, I can understood why she's what she is then. I'm glad that Raphael Locke, Viscount Lynnfield actually SAW something in her.
Ophelia was engaged with Rafe's friend (MacTavish who is the hero in The Heir). It was an arranged marriage between two family but Ophelia was so opposed with the idea that she spreading rumours which caused a scandal just to avoid this marriage (it's a habit she had - a very bad habit indeed). When the rumours backfire, she run away! She cried her heart out and was comforted by Rafe himself. At that time I think he felt something for Ophelia. Somehow he got into a bet with his friend, that he can change her to a kind-hearted lady (which he succeed) and end up falling for her too!
Sometimes beauty is a curse and Ophelia thinks that too... It's a bane for some people and if no one can trust and care enough to understand, it can make you the worst kind of people. Don't you think so?
Read it and found out more about Ophelia and Rafe!
