Publisher's Summary

A timid bluestocking…

Stuck in her little cottage with her three sisters and an aging father her entire life, Miss Beatrice Fowley has never had the chance to experience the real world. After being jilted by a charming viscount, she now has to marry a seventy-year-old lord intent on begetting an heir and a spare.

Having read plenty of books—most of which are romance—Beatrice has a list of things she wants to experience before the church bells toll her doom. Unfortunately, real life is far more dangerous, and Beatrice quickly realizes that she needs a guide and a guard.

Meets her surly knight…

Adam Lewis has lived in the shadow of his brothers his entire life. When he encounters his brother's former fiancée in distress, once again, honor dictates he steps in to lend her aid and clean up after his brother's mistake. Only the lady will not accept just any kind of assistance! The stubborn and naïve young bluestocking insists she wishes to experience "real life" before she allows him to escort her home to be married.

And the wager is struck.

Coerced into helping Miss Fowley with her scandalous list, Adam plots to outsmart the bluestocking to get her out of his life quicker. But as passion and desire flare between the reluctant partners, they realize one item has been left off the list—what to do with their wild, rebellious hearts when it comes to the end of the road…?

A fun farewell to the beloved series.

Quite enjoyable but my least fave of the series

I loved Adam as character but Beatrice while does have good qualities and is attractive to Adam I found some of her actions and maybe behaviours rather foolish which lead to big misunderstanding between the couple.

It really frustrated how she could question if he loved her when he called her 'my love' when he clearly stated it yet she didn't seem to recall this phrase coming out of his mouth so he wasn't in love with her and just wanted her!I

And then Beatrice in one instance sort of strikes up a deal with him and mentions not to fall in love with her and so Adam feels totally used and nothing special.

Given Adam is not perfect either but I struggled to relate to the female heroine.

I am glad she got her HEA after Richard asked her to break their betrothal contract so he could marry his love.

I wish we had seen more all of the Necessary Arrangments characters in the epilogue to see how they ended up or a better epilogue for Adam and Beatrice.

I'm very sad to say goodbye to these wonderful characters.

As for for the narration I loved it. The coinciding between chapters of the female and male narrators was perfection and it's the first time I've seen it done as such and wish more authors who used dual narrators did it this way. Bravo!!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
