About this ebook

A Midsummer Night’s masquerade at her family’s country home presents the Honorable Nancy Lovelace with the perfect opportunity for revenge against the man who ruined her first London season—a man she’s known since childhood, a man she’d once thought she loved. With the help of her crew of younger relatives, she’ll give him his comeuppance.

Simon Crayding’s newly inherited properties are in disarray, and, thanks to his bad behavior, he’s no longer known to society as Captain Crayding but as the Swilling Duke. When an old school chum invites him for a Midsummer Night’s party, he jumps at the chance to lick his wounds among friends… as well as apologize to his friend’s sister, Nancy, because apparently, he’s done something to hurt her, he just doesn’t remember what.

It soon becomes clear that Nancy will not easily forgive. Never one to resist a challenge—or a beautiful woman—Simon vows to find out why. As the night unfolds and passions rise, will Simon be well and truly punished, or will Nancy be caught in her own game?

Ratings and reviews

This is a short read. This is Simon and Nancy’s story. She has always loved Simon, but what will happen when they meet again at her first coming out ball? Now Simon has become a duke and the scandal is still there. Can he figure out what he did to her? Can he get her forgiveness? What will she do to make him pay at this ball?. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is a stand alone read in the multi-author "Revenge of the Wallflowers" series. It is a fairly short and quick Regency read about Nancy and Simon. The story develops nicely with one scheming revenge and the other trying to figure what he did to wrong her. I enjoyed the story and really like the characters.

This book was full of fun & interesting characters as well as an enjoyable story that drew me into it's world. I liked both Nancy & Simon & seeing her scheme against him with the help of some of her family while he was trying to figure out exactly what he did to anger her. I am adding a few of this authors books to my TBR list that are about some of the other members of the Lovelace family since I would like to read more. I received an ARC of this book & am voluntarily leaving a review.
