Summary

Allayne Carlyle, the only son and heir of Viscount Rose, is in a conundrum. All his friends are happily married, and his mother has decided it is time for him to do the same deed. Why would he want to get leg-shackled, when there are too many alluring widows to bed, and even more beautiful actresses to pursue?

Lady Alexandra Davenport, the only daughter of the Earl of Weston, is in a similar predicament. She has been cleverly avoiding the matrimonial trap, but now that her twenty-fifth birthday has come around, her father has finally put his foot down. But Alexandra is in no haste to get betrothed. She would rather spend her days participating in her charities, practicing her shooting and fencing skills, and if truth be told, she could not bear to leave her father and live elsewhere with a husband she doesn't truly adore.

Why would she want to marry some wretched man who would take her money, when she is happy and content where she is at?

Unbeknownst to our hero and heroine, their parents have been scheming. What will happen when these two stubborn personalities collide? Will they chase each other with a hatchet, or will the sparks fly?

Contains mature themes.

Veronica is able to make me laugh out loud and cry, as I follow the stories of her heroes and heroines. I like all her characters and there is farce but also real pathos in the trials they face, usually of their own making. I like that the men are portrayed as emotional as the women. Sometimes her characters overthink or over-explain too much in their own heads rather than have the situation portrayed through external action or dialogue, which would be more interesting, imo. A plot weak spot: I couldn't believe that it never occurred to Alex that trying to keep a secret from Allayne would be futile when everyone knew her widowed status.
The children are very entertaining.
The narrator is very good and characterisations are generally great but the older characters sometimes sound too old for their ages. In the first book in this series the parents of the main characters would only be in their 40s or 50s and sound like they are in their 80s.

Romance, tears, laugh out loud.
