Candice Hern "Lady Be Bad"
Grace, the widow of Bishop Marlow, may be the only woman in England whom John can not seduce. He's willing to take that chance for the thrill of a bet. Surprisingly he falls in love with Grace's inherent goodness along the way. And low and behold, Grace finds the personal strength that comes from owning her own sexuality.
This book is well written, has really very decent character development and is mildly funny. It's not earth shattering, but I'm guessing this is an author that could produce a really stellar book at some point. This one is a solid 3.5.
Historical Romance 2007: 3.5 of 5 Merry Widows.
Postscript on cover: The cover is gorgeous, so why was I even more embarrassed to be seen carrying it around?

I've loved some of Candice Hern's books, especially her early traditional regencies for Signet, but I agree with your assessment of this book. Not one of her best, but do try her others.
Thanks Karla, good to know, I will give her another chance.
