About this ebook

From the elegently appointed drawing rooms of London's most exclusive clubs to an imposing country estate in the heart of Dorset, comes a provocative tale of a free-thinking beauty, a dignified lord, and a mad impetuous love that defied all logic . . .

Augusta Ballinger was quite sure that it was all a dreadful mistake. The chillingly pompous and dangerous Earl of Graystone could not possibly wish to marry her. Why, it was rumored that his chosen bride must be a veritable model of virtue. And everyone knew that Augusta, as the last of the wild, reckless Northumberland Ballingers, was a woman who could not be bothered by society’s rules.

That was why the spirited beauty had planned a midnight encounter to warn the earl off, to convince him that she would make him a very poor wife indeed. But when she crawled in through his darkened study window, Augusta only succeeded in strengthening Harry’s resolve: to kiss the laughter from those honeyed lips and teach this maddening miss to behave! How could he possibly know that it was he who was in for a lesson . . . as his brazen fiancée set out to win his heart—and an old and clever enemy stepped in to threaten their love, their honor, and their very lives?

Ratings and reviews

I love Amanda Quicks books because the heroines are usually very different from typical heroines in Romance novels. They make good decisions, they have unique hobbies they are bold, etc.. I also like how she normally had the characters up to date on what the other is doing, such as when a character is given a note to meet them privately they tell their significant other or a friend with sense. Augusta is none of these things. She is definitely redeemable but she does things that make no sense to me and remind me of typical heroine behavior. Even when she knows the should just tell Harry she chooses to try to correct things on her own and it of course causes pointless outcomes. Not may favorite book.

I have this book unfotunately it is with my Sister with the rest of the Amanda Quick book, I was uable to read it in the entirety on google play and once I closed to the book I could not reopen it. However as I said I do have the book although I read it years ago I am more than happy to score it 5 stars.

Like lots of her books. The male main character basically forces kiss the female character and is to aggressive
