The Devil Who Tamed Her by Johanna Lindsey (2007) 455 pages

Ophelia Reid is a beauty with a bad reputation. Having purposely wrecked her engagement to Duncan MacTavish, a future marquis, Ophelia wants to make her own choice of a husband. Raphael Locke is the most sought-after young lord in England. He instantly disliked Ophelia when she caused a scandal to avoid marriage to his friend MacTavish, but having comforted her in a tearful moment, he begins to wonder if she's not all bad. So when MacTavish claims that Ophelia will never be anything but a spiteful beauty, Rafe bets his friend that he can turn her into a kind-hearted lady who will one day make a good match, just not with himself.

Very enjoyable read. I have been a long time fan of Johanna Lindsey, and while I was able to get into the book very easily, I still felt it was lacking something. By the end though, I was unable to put the book down and shed a few tears.
