When a simple kiss is turned to scandal by a conniving mother, can a forced marriage transform two regretful hearts?Tall, dark, and brooding, the Viscount of Barnet stole Jane Milton’s heart the day she saw him astride his black horse in the woods. When she learns of his upcoming trip to Brighton, she grasps at an opportunity to be a companion to an elderly woman there, in order to … there, in order to follow—er—accompany Lord Barnet to the seaside town.
Mr. Philip Honeyfield has suffered the dreaded misfortune of inheriting a title. Ungainly and shy, how can he perform well in the eye of society? To navigate his new role, Philip seeks advice from an unlikely source. When he is smitten by his grandmother’s new companion, Miss Jane Milton, his advisor offers one final piece of counsel: he must kiss her at the upcoming ball.
But a moonlit kiss can be catastrophic when witnessed by a cunning mother, a marriage can be inconvenient when forced, and a woman’s heart can be difficult to win when it belongs to another. Can an unexpected love conquer Jane’s resentment and Philip’s regret? Or will that simple kiss turn out to be his greatest misfortune of all?

A very good romance story with good characters. I enjoyed the turbulent story of fate making a match. I look forward to reading more in this series and other books by this author.
Very enjoyable historical romance!
It was clean
CUTE STORY
Loved the entire series!!! Highly recommend! Clean regency romance at it’s best!
Not the way she planned. It was a fun story.
Surprise ending! Enjoyed the characters.
I loved the story
Tender, entertaining, sweet and lovely regency romance. Well written.
I like romance with some steam but this clean and classic romance is a delightful reading.
It shows how stupid we women can be when we have ideal locked in our mind and are bent on it no matter what! Then reality arrives and you wake up almost too late. Good characters.
The last half saved this read.
By chapter 13, I almost quit reading Marrying Miss Milton by Ashtyn Newbold. Not only did this book remind me of high school drama, it was also tedious and boring with too much narration.
Thankfully, from chapter 14 through the end of the epilogue, the story improved and I was able to further my appreciation of the hero, as well as enjoy the heroine’s improved disposition. However, there was still too much narration.
Content 411: This is a clean read. There is no swearing or sex.
A fun read, but not long enough!
It isn’t often I give 5STARS to a story. It has to be unbelievably good. And this one was. Seriously. Follow this author. She spins a good story. LOVED the characters.
Read the whole series this is book 2 Enjoy
Quick, clean, sweet romance
I thought this book was well-plotted and held suspense to the end.. ! would thoroughly recommend it!
Really enjoyed living thru the character
Despicable heroine, the spawn of absolutely reprehensible parents.
Jane and Philip
This is a very sweet story about two people made for each other. A true love story. . I am off to read the third book in the series.
I was annoyed with the heroine at first for her mixture of stubbornness and shyness, but I did see how her childhood had produced that personality. The character development was excellent.
