Sebastian Sinclair, the Duke
of Wessex uses wit and jest to avoid feeling, any feeling especially pesky
love. Loving just leads to pain and grief and he refuses to go through that
again. His greatest adversary is the witty and beautiful Eliza Benton. The two
of them banter back and forth. They're friends, that's all, just friends. Eliza
finds Wessex infuriating at best, but when she attends a house party to choose
his bride, she finds something totally surprising. She more than enjoys his
company and doesn't want anyone else to occupy his time. Could these two avoid
a disastrous outcome like falling in love?
I thoroughly enjoyed this
book, especially Wessex's jesting and bantering with everyone, but especially
with Eliza. He is much deeper than anyone realizes although Eliza is beginning
to see through his fun facade and forces him to confront that pesky thing
called feelings as she begins to confront her own feelings about him. Ms.
Bright does a great job of teases out the details of what Wessex and Eliza really
want out of life and I was eagerly turning the pages to see how it all ends.
Definitely a fun and enjoyable read.
I voluntarily read an
advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
