Description

When Charles Wycombe, the dashing and incorrigible Earl of Billington, toppled out of a tree and landed at Ellie's feet, neither suspected that such an inauspicious meeting would lead to marriage. But Charles must find a bride before his thirtieth birthday or he'll lose his fortune. And Ellie needs a husband or her father's odious fiancée will choose one for her. And so they agree to wed, even though their match appears to have been made somewhere hotter than heaven ...

Ellie never dreamed she'd marry a stranger, especially one with such a devastating combination of rakish charm and debonair wit. She tries to keep him at arm's length, at least until she discovers the man beneath the handsome surface. But Charles can be quite persuasive -- even tender -- when he puts his mind to it, and Ellie finds herself slipping under his seductive spell. And as one kiss leads to another, this unlikely pair discovers that their marriage is not so inconvenient after all ... and just might lead to love.

    The book wasn’t terribly bad. It wasn’t terribly good. It just was. I would give it a 3 for average but I have given far better books 3s, and I think it’d be unfair to those 😉

    I read the fiirst 2 chapters on JQ’s website, and found the characters are quite intriguing and have a nice chemistry. But it turned that the whole book is just a longer version of the first 2 chapters.... There’s just way too much petty accidents and non-related talk, and characters’ personality have very few to do with their action and the story
  • A very annoying heroine

    I do not know if I can say this heroine is my favorite. The woman never shut up. She was always getting angry at her husband over her own stupidity. Great plot, horrible heroine
