My Thoughts:
This book was ok. Lady Honor is engaged to the Marquis of Mandeville. She is the sister to a duke, been raised her whole life to be a lady and is completely and totally attracted to her future brother in law. She and Lord Reeding meet under 'delicate' circumstances and neither can get the other out of their mind. When Reeding's faults are brought to light, will it run Hero off or will she be drawn in even more by his rakish ways?
The author did a good job with the characters. They were believable and I really liked several of them. I completely disliked Mandeville, he was a pompous jerk! Reeding and Honor defiantly had a spark between them but I just wasn't drawn into the story or to the characters. I did like the ending of the book though, I thought it was the perfect ending.
This book was a 3/5. It was an ok read but not great.
Thank you to Hachette for the review copy of this book. I received this book in exchange for an honest review and the opinions stated above are 100% mine.
