4 of 5 stars
Lady Emmaline Shaw
never wanted to be engaged and certainly not to the rude and arrogant Duke of
Worley, John Brentwood. When he disappeared 4 years ago, she was relieved that
she never had to think of him again, that is, until he showed up at the ball and
informed her he intended to keep their engagement and marry her. Thus begins an
unlikely marriage where Emma would help tutor his sister Charlotte in the ways
of society.
Ms. Portman teases
out the story of Emma and John's growing attachment for each other. Of course,
along the way, there are numerous misunderstandings. There is also a small side
plot with a villain, but I wasn't particularly impressed with it. It was bland
at best. The story moved along at a good pace and I it kept me turning the pages
until the end. Fans of Regency romances will certainly enjoy the story.
I received a copy
of this book in exchange for a fair and honest view.
