When a man on a mission takes on a
beautiful but unlikely ally, seduction and adventure are inevitable…
The dust of the Cabot sisters' shocking plans
to rescue their family from certain ruin may have settled, but Prudence Cabot
is left standing in the rubble of scandal. Now regarded as an unsuitable bride,
she's tainted among the ton. Yet this unwilling wallflower is ripe for her own adventure. And
when an irresistibly sexy American stranger on a desperate mission enlists her
help, she simply can't deny the temptation.
The fate of Roan Matheson's family depends on
how quickly he can find his runaway sister and persuade her to return to her
betrothed. Scouring the rustic English countryside with the sensually wicked
Prudence at his side—and in his bed—he's out of his element. But once Roan has a taste of the sizzling
passion that can lead to forever, he must choose between his heart's
obligations and its forbidden desires.
I do enjoy reading a good historical romance
from time to time. I have found that the ones that I really get into tend to
have spunky heroines who find ways around society’s strictures.
That is what I thought that I was getting with
this book. Instead, while I liked Prudence, she was far to prone to regrets
when she did do what she wanted. There was so much angst dripping off of the
pages that I wanted to just shake Pru. Why worry so much since she was already
considered ‘tainted’ through no fault of her own.
Now some of my readers might really enjoy this
book but it definitely wasn't my cup of tea. If you do give it a try, be sure
to let me know what you think.
