Publisher's Summary

While Lady Angeline Dudley’s pedigree dictates that she must land a titled gentleman, the irrepressible beauty secretly longs for a simple, ordinary suitor. No wild rakes like the men of her family, just a kind heart and good nature. So when Edward Ailsbury, the new Earl of Heyward, rescues her with unmatched civility from the advances of a scoundrel, Angeline thinks that she has found her true love. Persuading the earl is another matter entirely.

Edward has his future neatly mapped out. He hopes to wed his steadfast companion, a woman who shares his values of loyalty, respect, and decorum. But arriving in London to take his seat in the House of Lords, he is derailed by Angeline, an exquisite bird of paradise seemingly devoted to sending his predictable life into chaos.

From the brilliant hues of her fashion to her hoydenish antics, Angeline is the last woman on earth for Edward. And yet a stolen kiss in the moonlight awakens something deep and primal within him. Naturally, being a gentleman, he does the right thing after compromising a lady: He offers marriage.

Angeline knows that Edward’s proposal is born of duty, not love. But denying something so provocative and passionate is easier said than done. Deep down, Angeline believes that Edward’s dedication to convention will melt behind closed doors, where sensuality and seduction play wicked games. For a proper wife by day can become a husband’s secret mistress by night, when delicious desire rules.

What were you thinking? Bring back Roslyn!

I couldn't finish this story even though I wanted too. Please redo the rest of the series with Roslyn Landor. Her deep.calming voice is integral to the experience.
Definitely not the right narrator for this story.

Why did they change the narrator?

This narrator was awful. She sounded like a nasally robot most of the time. Why on earth did they not stick with Rosalyn Landor?

Funny, Sweet, Original

This book was so refreshing. It seems at times as if every period romance novel follows the exact same story, with the exact same characters. This story was a wonderful change. It's refreshing main characters are witty and easy to love, with just the right amount of bedroom spice. 5/5
