Award-winning author Elizabeth Mansfield presents the captivating tale of a fiercely independent woman who learns a shocking secret that leads to a startling lesson in love Olivia Matthews may be unversed in the ways of love, but her eyes don't deceive her.

Her sister's husband Miles Strickland, seventh Earl of Langley, is a scoundrel. Olivia just caught him in the arms of another woman. When she dares to confront him, the blackguard has the gall to accuse her of blackmail.

Determined to expose his unfaithfulness, Olivia leaves London to visit her sister in the English countryside, where her world is overturned. Suddenly, she is trying to rein in her rambunctious niece and nephew, fending off the amorous attentions of two suitors... and falling in love with the very nobleman she had vowed to hate forever.

Ok enough if you've nothing else- hope you like the word "nonplussed" and a speedy reader.

Fine. 🤷

Well, I really enjoyed this! I shed a few tears (admittedly the thing I um.... avoid. Why are there no funny books around?) and practically listened in one sitting! It was well written, and well narrated. A truly agreeable regency romance, my favorite!

The heat factor on this one didn’t even motivate the thermometer, a cool clean romance. It didn’t matter.

I totally find it creditworthy!

The first part of the story, the author firmly established the brother-in-law hero as a neglectful, cheating, abusive, angry villian, then tried to establish that he had good reason for it so he was really a good guy, That did NOT work. She also established the heroine as an intelligent, independent woman which distinguished her from her older sister, and then changed her into a passive and rather stupid victim of potential domestic violence, merely a colorless substitute for her dead sister. Not my idea of a happy ending. Having read and liked most of Elizabeth Mansfield's other books, I thought the previous reviews might be wrong. They were not. I really hated this book.

The "Hero" cheats, neglects, threatens beatings.
