After being rejected by Lord
Bromton at the end of their ten-year betrothal, Lady Clarissa has decided that
she never wants to be under the whims of a man and decides to reject marriage.
When she refuses a request by the cruel Lord Moultonbury, he places a
scandalous bet at the gentlemen's club. Not wanting Clarissa to suffer any
repercussions, Lord Markham swoops in and claims he's courting Lady Clarissa.
Markham has had a tendre for Clarissa for years and the more time they spend
together, sparks fly between them. No matter how much she enjoys Markham's
company, Clarissa has decided to stick to her decision to never marry. Can she
let down her walls and let love in?
Ms. LaCapra has written an
enjoyable story with the tables turned a bit in the characters. Markham gives
control over their interactions and submits to Clarissa's desires, hoping to
show her that he would never dominate her. I loved Markham. He was the ultimate
gentleman. Clarissa was a strong woman who has been abandoned by everyone she
counted on and she refuses to let her feelings for Markham rule her decisions.
I liked the twist at the end that finally allowed Markham and Clarissa to be
together because what's a romance with a HEA.
I look forward to reading more books by
Ms. LaCapra. I voluntarily read this book and opinions are my own.
