4 of 5 stars
Nicholas Balfour,
the Earl of Dare, has been summoned back to London from his Italian villa and
mistress to do his duty. The last thing Nick wants to do is return to the Dare
estate. He has never been able to live up to his father's expectations and after
his brother and heir dies tragically, his father's criticisms became even more
horrid. After 2 years abroad, his father dies and his aunt has called him home.
She holds the purse strings to the estate, so Nick has no choice but to return.
His plan is to find a suitable young woman to marry, get an heir in her belly
and return to his mistress in Italy. What he didn't count on was being
intrigued by bluestocking Violet Somerset.
I really enjoyed
this book and I especially like an intelligent and feisty heroine. The
interactions between Violet and Nick was so much fun until the lies started to
pile up for these two. Forced to marry, Violet and Nick must try to get past
all their misunderstandings and try to build a new life together. Ms. Bradley
works in many twists and turns in this story. Fans of regency romances will
definitely enjoy this book.
I received a copy
of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review and I was not obligated
to leave a review.
