Book Review By L. Watson
Tiger's Eye by Karen Robards

Lady Isabella St. Just, Countess of Blakely, is kidnapped by a gang of ruffians. She almost escapes when a battle breaks out between her captors and another criminal gang. Then she finds herself injured and in a brothel with Alec Tyron, head of a notorious criminal organization and known as the Tiger. Alec is the most handsome man that plain Isabella has ever seen. She sleeps with him for one night.

Isabella learns her husband is trying to kill her and Alec is trying to avoid the rival gang until he heals from his wounds. Together they go into hiding. Alec, interested in bettering himself and fascinated by the little countess, asks her to teach him how to be a gentleman. In turn, he offers to turn her into a beauty. All the while, Isabella tries to resist the passion Alec offers her.
