About this ebook
Ethan Silverton, the Lord of Edon, is very content with his life. He’s carefully sculpted it so that everyone thinks he’s a notorious rake. For years, he’s worked hard to build his reputation to secure his place as the most undesirable bachelor in London. And it’s worked. No decent lady will have him.
But one simple error in judgment has just sealed his fate. His intention was to dissuade a horrid mother from matching him up with her equally horrid daughter. Seeing no one but Lady Catherine without a dance partner, he tells a lie. He approaches Lady Catherine as if they are betrothed, and the ploy works. The horrid mother and her daughter abandon their pursuit of him.
Except Ethan’s mother spies his ploy and is so relieved that she’s found a way to marry him to a reputable young lady that she tells everyone of their engagement. To his horror, word spreads and it’s his duty to see the lie through. This is the worst thing that can happen, and no one but his mother is happy about it. Not Lady Catherine. Not her doting father. Not even Ethan. But his mother is sure it’ll all work out…eventually.

hero is a spineless vapid man. his character has good bones but he was written in a way that I couldn't connect with admire or respect. heroine again has a good outline but the character isnt developed enough, and a bawling teaful frightened virgin, turning pure hoyden/ vixen on her wedding night.. sure. The story might have read better from her perspective. the other main character - Her father is written in a way that he is frustratingly obstinate in being delusional despite obvious proof contrary to his thoughts. A difficult book to get though.

I enjoyed reading this book but, I didn't enjoy constantly having to reset the type. I don't know if this would have happened had I been reading on my nook . I was trying to read on my Samsung Galaxy A10E ..it was a truly distracting pain to constantly have to reset the type if I touched the screen. I'm very glad that the book was free or I would have asked for a refund. I did enjoy the story line but probably won't try anything else by this author due to the type issue, which I have never had a problem with before.

a nice book for those who prefer an older era (Victorian) and a fascination for titles and the upper class. nice short read, quite romantic... felt a little anticlimatic towards the end but overall a nice read. will consider reading other books from the series
