Yep, Thats what happened. He was a scoundrel. He drugged her and tied her up. In the next book, The Devil in the Winter he was hero of sorts. Both good books, in my opinion.

I liked The Devil in Winter (I like all of Kleypas's Wallflower books). The Devil in Spring (hero is Sebastian and Evie's son) was terrific.
My favorite was the Autumn book but all were good. I still haven't read Devil in the Spring. Someday...
I liked Devil in Winter, but Devil in Spring not so much. The heroine in the 2nd one needed to mature & frankly I skipped ahead and then went back again. Seb and Evie's son deserved better. But, different strokes for different folks.
Definitely different strokes for different folks, mlover. I adored Pandora.
Flipoid---- I'm not being snarky, but what did you like about her?
I didn't think you were being snarky. I loved how she wanted to do her own thing even though it wasn't "acceptable" according to society's rules. I love playing board games, so I thought it was so cool that she created them. I especially loved how she didn't let her problem with her ear (the ringing, the balance issues, her being afraid of the dark) keep her down. Look at all she did with being partially deaf from her childhood injury.
You made some good points. I thought I recalled the heroine being indifferent toward the hero? Or am I blending story aspects as I've done on occasion?

I think she was a bit indifferent towards him at first since she had said for a while that she didn't want to marry anyone. And she was frustrated because the "compromising position" was completely innocent when Gabriel was trying to get her dress unhooked from the settee in the gazebo. She didn't feel that it was worth a forced marriage for either of them--another example of her annoyance with society's restrictions.
I've been reading a series of books by a relatively well-known author, and in a few of them, she writes something along the lines of "He held her snuggly against him," or "The little girl held her stuffed dog snuggly." What the author means, of course, is "snugly," and it irks me to see this kind of mistake. Is the little girl's dog named Snuggly? That would make sense!
Hi flipoid, I wonder at times if these are typos when the secretary types the words which the publisher will print? Context is important, and if it looks wrong, it probably is. When in doubt, the secretary should ask. ML.
I think this author types her own books, though I could be wrong. I am not sure what secretary you refer to.
