3 of 5 stars
Jasper Kincaid, the Earl of Harcourt, needs a
bride with a healthy dowry to fill his depleted coffers. He agrees to marry
Anne Shelley, one of the Shelley triplets. When Anne runs away, her father
substitutes Thomasina Shelley instead. Thomasina has loved Jasper since she
first met him and was devastated when her father said he was for Anne to marry.
Now Thomasina has the man of her dreams as her husband, but can she break
through his cold exterior and release the passionate man beneath the facade?
I liked this book, but Thomasina is a bit of a door mat. I wanted her to stand up for herself more even though she did it once. I thought Jasper was a more interesting character with his inner demons and responsibility to maintain a scandal free earldom. There is a lot of sex in the book and I got tired of that and skipped over most of the scenes. I was also not happy how the book ended, but I suppose it was necessary to tell Anne's story in the next book. I looking forward to find out who Ellis is and what he's running from.
I voluntarily read this advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
