Eleanor Hawke loves a good scandal. And readers of her successful gossip rag live for the exploits of her favorite subject: Daniel Balfour, the notorious Earl of Ashford. So when the earl himself marches into her office and invites her to experience his illicit pursuits firsthand, Eleanor is stunned. Gambling hells, phaeton races, masquerades. What more could a scandal writer want than a secret look into the life of this devilishly handsome rake? Daniel has secrets, and if 'The Hawk's Eye' gets wind of them, a man's life could be at stake. And what better way to distract a gossip than by feeding her the scandal she desperately craves? But Daniel never expected the sharp mind and biting wit of the beautiful writer, and their desire for each other threatens even his best-laid plans.

Really enjoyed this, especially the heroine. The conflict was wrapped up a little too easily at the end for me (with no resolution except “oh, that won't be a problem”), and the language in the sex scenes was over-the-top purple and got distracting. I'd have liked a little bit more follow-up about Jonathan once he's found and his recovery, too. I did like that Eleanor wasn't a virgin and it was not a big deal at all, and that the book didn't end with her pregnant and no longer working. Overall, though, fun and a solid four stars.
UGHH DNF.
First book for the historical romance readathon. I just cannot bring myself to care about these characters and I'm skimming way too much.
