The party is as he feared, but he hadn’t banked on one of his house guests, the bluestocking Belinda ‘Belle’ Holbrook, to try and trap the unsuspecting, and quite gullible, Lord Nibley into marriage. Anticipating the worst, he tried to warn him… only to get caught by Belinda himself.

Furious, but honour bound.
Edward finds himself furious, but honour bound to do the right thing and not long after finds himself married to a woman whom he doesn’t trust and knows nothing about. More to the point, he has no intention of trying to find out more.
Belle, however, is made of sterner stuff and refuses to be afraid of the angry man she married. Somehow, she determines to melt icy Lord Winterbourne’s frozen heart, and she’s prepared to be wicked to do it.

**** Warning: This book contains haughtiness of the highest degree, a smattering of mild swearing and after some time and effort, a small amount of graphic and descriptive sex scenes. We are at pains to point out, however, that this book – or series – is in no way verging on erotica ****

This well written. The characters were believable. Very enjoyable read.
Loved the book!
The characters and the plot were well developed, though I found myself wishing for more prominent supporting actors, like in the previous book. There were many opportunities to interweave continuing stories – or at least more interaction – with Violet, Aubrey, Celeste & Falmouth, instead of the painting the characters into their own solitary world. However, the story development for Belle & Edward was interesting and allowed for a bit of character development, so no complaints.
I enjoyed reading this book.
I am very torn assessing this book. It was a very sad story, mostly centering on a hero with PTSD. I prefer a lighter read, but once started I couldn’t abandon it. I also read the sequel, concerning Lucretia, but I am undecided about any further works in this series – there’s enough going on in the world to depress one without having the escape of reading adding to it. Well written, good characters, but dark in mood.
