Ratings and reviews

Albina knows what she wants but how far will she go to achieve it. As unique as her name Lady Albina is captivating. She has the gumption to dream bring and the heart to make her wildest dreams a reality. Her inner beauty and sense of adventure fly right off the page. Her willingness to achieve her goals however is not always in her best interest and lands her in an unlikely situation. Falling in love with the wrong man. Edmund has the heart, and adventurous spirit to be her perfect match. All he has to do is convince her that he's the man she wants. I received an ARC of To Win a Viscount in exchange for an honest review. There were times the story faltered but nothing major. Despite that it remained full of great qualities. The title doesn't make the man, the heart does. Beautiful message with a charming story.
