About this ebook

As a Lady of Virtue, Matilda Brooks swears to reform the most despicable man of her acquaintance, her brother-in-law, Sullivan Chase, Viscount Glenbrook. Well, he may not be the most despicable, but he is certainly arrogant, flirtatious, and entirely too charming. To make matters worse, he has the irritating tendency to poke fun at her and rile her emotions as no other man does. However, when she confronts him, he laughs off her concern about his slothful ways.

But when a carriage accident forces Sullivan to play knight to Tilly’s damsel, his unexpected act of chivalry ends up costing them both their freedom. Her compromised reputation and his honorable declaration forces them into a marriage neither of them wants. Which is most inconvenient, given that she has sworn to despise him forever.

Ratings and reviews

First-rate piece. Tilly’s sister is a regular witch and what she said in the last chapter was so cutting. Matilda Brooks is one special lady as you read the book you will understand why I say this. Sullivan is a wonderful hero! This enemies-to-lovers romance was a splendid book. I liked the author's style and the dialogue she wrote, it made the story come alive. This was an excellent book that I am happy to recommend. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

When Tilly's carriage breaks down, Sullivan comes to her rescue. They're practically family, after all—his brother is married to her sister—so surely there can be no impropriety when a rainstorm forces them to spend the night at an inn. Except there's only one room available…and London's most notorious gossip sees them leave it together. Sullivan is the last man Tilly wants to marry—every word from his mouth infuriates her—but it's the only way to save her reputation. She's even more distressed when, on their wedding day, he forbids her to continue her work with the Ladies of Virtue. Rescuing orphans from a life of crime is the focus of her life, even if it can be dangerous. But Sullivan has his reasons, though he hides them from Tilly. When she learns the truth, can their marriage survive? The chemistry between Tilly and Sullivan is hot, hot, hot. It's clear they belong together, no matter how much the two of them resist the attraction. The plot is brisk, and the writing sparkles with touches of humor. The steamy scenes are well done and include some light power exchange. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
