About this ebook

Miss Heather Duff met the love of her life. Then she let him go. And now she's determined to get him back. 

If there's one thing Heather regrets, it's that she let Lord Powell go. She listened to other people tell her what to do, so when Lord Powell proposed, she said no. It was the worst mistake she's ever made, and now she's determined to prove to Lord Powell that she wants a second chance.

Gill Easton, Viscount Powell, has never stopped loving Miss Duff. But a gentleman has his pride to protect. He can't just let her walk back into his life as if nothing ever happened. And this puts him in a dilemma. 

He'll have to resort to unusual methods in order to get the lady of his dreams to marry him. In this case, the unusual method is to convince her to kidnap him…without letting her know he’s the one behind the whole scheme.

Don't miss this romantic comedy featuring a feisty heroine, a hero who has to play hard to get, a meddling brother who doesn't take even a minute to listen to what someone is trying to tell him, and a friend who doesn't mind any kind of scandal so long as the cause is true love.

Historical romance from the period this book is set in wouldn't normally be something I read. However something about the description drew me to it, so I thought I'd give it a go. It took me several attempts to read the book before I could get into it. However once a did I found it reasonably enjoyable. It wasn't the best writing I had ever read, but it has interesting and different storyline with likable characters and was fairly easy and light to read, without any massive amount of suspense or drama

It is a light-hearted and charming piece. This was a cute one not real happy with an arranged marriage Gill Easton finds that he does care for Heather but he wants her to have to work to get him to the altar. Only in this time setting could you get not one but two virgins and Gill’s mom well she not quite about it. If I had done something like that to my boys I would have been so dead. This book has humor and is just a fun read. Hope you pick it up I think you would enjoy it. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

This was a cute romantic comedy that made for lighthearted reading. You've got a heroine that first says no to a proposal by the hero, then changes her mind when he's betrothed to someone else, a hero who tries to play hard to get and the other cast of characters who all bring the story together. I must say, though, that the heroine, Miss Heather Duff, was a bit too immature for my taste. After their marriage, she says they'll have so much fun playing games and cards and even play hide n' seek!! As for the hero, Gill Easton, Viscount Powell, it was lovely to find out that he was a virgin as well and I really had to giggle when his mother was very proud of stating that fact to whoever would listen! lol This is a story that you can't take too seriously because some parts are a bit far fetched so it is in fact just a fun story to read:) Giving this a 3.5 rating! I received an ARC of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
