Few outsiders will ever witness the dark misdeeds of the Heavenly Host. And among this secret society, where exiled Georgian aristocrats gather to indulge their carnal desires, fewer still can match the insatiable appetite of their chief provocateur, the mysterious Viscount Rohan.
Pursuit of physical pleasure is both his preferred pastime and his most pressing urge, until he encounters the fascination of a woman who won't be swayed. And while his dark seduction appalls the pure and impoverished Elinor Harriman, she finds herself intrigued...and secretly drawn to the man behind the desire.

"I just love these books: Ruthless, Reckless, and Breathless. I love how the men are bad and then become good. The women always whip them into shape. My favorite was Ruthless, then Breathless, least favorite Reckless- though still good! Yes Kathryn, I went on to read all three! :)"

— Susan Wiggs" Liked it better than the first. A bit racier ;) the only thing lacking was the wrap up. Again, Stuart's endings have a tendency towards the anticlimactic. Especially where the secondary characters are concerned. For how much build up between Simon and Lena, their conclusion was so disappointing, especially considering all that could have been done between the two of them. Adrian and Charlotte as well. "
— Tiffany, 1/10/2014" Very good story filled with good sex and a butt load of arguing. Very entertaining and my favourite in the House of Rohan series so far. "
— Ashley-Marie, 11/13/2013" Anne Stuart writes my favorite "really bad boys" as well as non-simpering heroines. The "Ice" series were thrilling. The "House of Rohan" series tends to get campy and sort of hilarious. "
— Erin, 11/2/2013" DNF. I can't believe Elinor and Rohan from "Ruthless" have such a spoiled twat of a son. Rarely do I not finish a book. But this one, no, just no. After the greatness that was Francis Rohan, his son looks like an idiot child. That is so not hero material. "
— Giedre, 9/28/2013" Alistair is not as amazing as his father but he keeps up the bad reputation of the family and the charm. Charlotte grew on me during the book and by the end of it I liked her a lot. She really showed him! And the side stories with the vicar and the cousin were great too! "
— Isa, 8/4/2013" An enjoyable and fun romance novel with a wicked hero and a virtuous heroine. "
— Grace, 7/10/2013" Not as good as the first one, IMHO, but I had a good time with yet another (almost) hopeless rake from the House of Rohan. "
— Beowulfwulf, 10/16/2012" The second book in the sequel to Anne Stuart book. After reading the first book I could not wait till I read the second, was not disappointed. Anne Stuart books keeps you entertained from the first page till the last!! "
— Catrulz, 9/11/2012" Mediocre in comparison to the other books. "
— Melissa, 12/29/2011" One of those hard to rate books, I liked it and didn't all at once, this is probably one I'll have to wait a while and reread to get a better opinion. "
— Irishgirl1247, 10/21/2011" This is my Favourite book in the series. "
— Kelli, 10/10/2011" I kind of hated the hero of this book.. I'm not a fan of overly foppish heroes but the book is steamy enough for me to overlook the things I didn't like. Also the story is a little different then your typical rake reformed by spinster. All in all a good read but not a favorite. "
— gina~*, 6/24/2011" Loved this book. Tortured heroes are my favorite right now. Love that Elinor was "normal" and she struggled. My friend is reading it now and she is loving it too. "
— Becky, 6/8/2011" If you like selfish, pompous, over-bearing men – you’ll love Francis Rohan, I certainly did. I adore dominant men and head strong women. This story is amazing and I can’t wait to read the rest of this series… "
— Lizzielvr, 5/30/2011" Not bad. All thing considered though, it wasn't nearly as steamy as I thought it would be, given the synopsis. Enjoyable, but nothing special. "
— Christine, 4/20/2011" This was a book that I couldn't put down. Not particularly fab, but good enough to keep my interest and simple enough to put down and start right back up. I am beginning the second in the series. "
— Aubrey, 3/22/2011" A totally pleasant surprise. Loved it! "
— Julie, 3/17/2011" Geogrian Romance? Really? The only way you know is by the men's long hair... <br/> <br/>I doubt the Happy Ending will last with this hero. <br/> <br/> "
