A desperate situation calls for dangerous deeds....

Proud heiress Arabella Larke has little respect for rules and no time for scruples - not when she faces marriage to a man she loathes and fears. Determined to save herself, Arabella comes up with a plan: a fake engagement with her childhood nemesis, Guy Roth, Marquess of Hardbury, recently returned home after years away. To Arabella’s surprise, Guy has become strong, honorable, and unexpectedly attractive...but he refuses to even hear her plan.

After leaving England to escape his corrupt, controlling father, Guy has vowed never to do anyone’s bidding again - certainly not Arabella’s. To Guy’s surprise, Arabella has become intriguing, quick-witted, and unexpectedly attractive, but he has enough drama trying to gain custody of his younger sisters, and he wants nothing to do with her dubious schemes.

Until Arabella shows up at his house one night, and Guy finds himself entangled to a dangerous degree....

Warm, witty, and moving, this historical romance tells the story of a proud, flawed lady and the man brave enough to love her. ​

Eventually all the unspoken words gets frustrating, it’s like SAY IT ALREADY! There are only so many unspoken words we can take! It’s like head trauma.... thrown in your face! Yet it all works. It’s a very enjoyable regency romance. I know it’s odd to say so after a complaint but it’s true. I totally enjoyed this book!

Kate Reading is a good narrator but has a slightly odd cadence to her delivery, or is it the accent? I can’t quite put my finger on it... so it’s not too obvious, huh?

Yes, there is sex. The appropriate heat, and no more than needed. This book isn’t one that survives on ridiculously long “bedroom” scenes.

A tad angsty but totally within the plot/personality

I've enjoyed each of Mia Vincy's stories, but I'm tempted to say that this might be my favorite. If not favorite, a very close second.

Because Vincy has written some strong and independent-minded women, the angst of this oppressed heroine who felt imprisoned by her father’s stipulations, was unexpected and it hit me hard. I blame my 21st century mindset, rather than the heroine or her predicament. I really liked Arabella and felt she was an honest portrayal of a female straddling the line between independence and aristocratic propriety.

My fascination with the hero (Guy) is hard to explain. He wasn't the typical rake or rogue, yet he did periodically come across as arrogant. Oftentimes, while purposefully playing the antagonist with Arabella. Even in those times, he was humble when Arabella pointed out his entitled past. Their childhood history was a fun precursor to their enemies to love romance. Yet, it was their antagonistic repartee, a revolting and perverted fiance, and a conniving extended family that increased the angst ten-fold. For this romance reader, Guy and Arabella's eventual relationship was well-earned.

While a happy ending is the definition of the romance genre, I'm sometimes dissatisfied with how they're executed (ie. cheesy lines, ott grand gestures.) Without a doubt, Vincy excelled in this book. While I enjoyed the story from the beginning, the final chapter had me breathless. It was the literal definition of romantic "feels." And, I mean, chest heavy, dopamine-addled romantic euphoria. One of the best and most romantic endings of the year. Finally, as always, Kate Reading was a fantastic narrator.

5 Stars!!

Highly recommend this title. Part of a series but can easily be read on its own. Prickly heroine with lots of depth to her story. The story is well paced and fairly steamy with lots of quick banter between the characters. A beautiful, moving story. Deals with the status of women, domestic violence, grief, and family of origin issues. The narrator, Kate Reading, is soooo good and perfect for this heroine.

Beautiful enemies to lovers story

I enjoyed the entire series. Kate Reading is one of my favorite narrators. It was interesting to hear bits of the other stories in this one. I hope there will be more!

Mia Vincy has delivered yet another excellent book in this series! Each book has been both unique and familiar in terms of style: Familiar with wit, humor, and emotion (I always find myself crying, laughing and wanting to beat someone who deserves it!!!; Unique characters and plots.

And all delivered by a divinely talented narrator: Kate Reading, with the ability to truly give each character their own voice. My favorite of course, the deep and very sexy male leads (always swoon worthy)!

This series does not disappoint and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the genre. Can’t wait to start the last one, but I’m hoping it won’t truly be the last!😉🥰
Maybe the following characters could each get their own books: Lucy & Emily (Cassandra’s siblings), Freddie, Joshua’s younger brother(s), the young woman in this book who said she”likes dead things” (can’t recall her name at this moment)her own book, and

Another excellent book!
