So she returns to Temple and the story really takes off. She had her reasons for running away and hiding away from everyone and now that her brother has gambled away everything that he owned (and everything she owned), the future of the orphanage is at risk and Mara is desperate to save the boys.
But the more time he spends with Mara, the more he realizes that not all is what they seem.įor the past twelve years, Mara has been living as a widow running an orphanage of illegitimate young boys.
So Temple goes about avenging himself…with Mara’s help. So when Mara comes back into Temples life, trying to barter for her brother’s debt, Temple is equal parts relieved that he’s not a killer and pissed because Mara set him up to fall.
But Temple won’t fight him because Christopher is brother to Mara Lowe, the woman that Temple supposedly killed. He’s desperate to get everything back and the only way that he can do that is to fight Temple…and win. Twelve years later, Temple is one of the owners of The Fallen Angel, the exclusive gaming hall of the aristocracy and he’s richer than rich.Ĭhristopher Lowe has lost everything he owns to the Fallen Angel. Temple is thrown into the streets and he builds a life for himself in the darkness of the streets. And just like that, his good mood is gone and he gets a new name. He spent the night with a beautiful woman and he’s in a good mood, until he realizes he’s not in his bed and there’s a pool of blood on the sheets. So this book starts off with Temple waking up from a good night. I thought MacLean did a great job of making the reader understand where each character was coming from and why they did the things they did, and the way that everything unraveled kept me glued into the story. Temple and Mara came alive in this book for me and I really came to love the both of them. I’m always excited to read a new Sarah MacLean because she’s written some pretty fantastic books and this book wasn’t any different. and to keep from putting himself on the line for love… It will take every bit of his strength to resist the pull of this mysterious, maddening woman who seems willing to risk everything for honor. It’s a fine trade, until Temple realizes that the lady-and her past-are more than they seem. Mara planned never to return to the world from which she’d run, but when her brother falls deep into debt at Temple’s exclusive casino, she has no choice but to offer Temple a trade that ends in her returning to society and proving to the world what only she knows.
Until one night, Mara resurfaces, offering the one thing he’s dreamed of. With no memory of that fateful night, Temple has reigned over the darkest of London’s corners for twelve years, wealthy and powerful, but beyond redemption. He is the Killer Duke, accused of murdering Mara Lowe on the eve of her wedding. Rowena’s review of No Good Duke Goes Unpunished (Rules of Scoundrels #3) by Sarah MacLean.
