No man in his right mind would want to get married, but every duke, earl, and viscount knows that a fellow must do his duty in the end. So four of London's most desirable gentlemen make a wager -- the prize going to the one who remains unwed the longest.
Gideon Pearsall, Viscount Warton, thinks he has a fair shot at winning. After all, he's managed to enjoy the favors of many a lady while resisting the parson's noose. Even when he's stopped dead in his tracks by the most scandalous woman in all of London -- Judith, Lady Chester -- he vows to have her bedded but never wedded.
Beautiful, and more than a little bit naughty, Judith has always kept herself within the bounds of respectability, even while playing by her own rules. And experience has taught her to avoid marriage. She has no desire to resist Warton's hot kisses, and his tempting touch is impossible to ignore.
But soon both Judith and Gideon can't help but wonder... is it possible to be a little bit wicked and still follow your heart?
Wow, the author has finally written a book that was disappointing to me. This offered a humdrum storyline with flat, one-dimensional characters.

Was an alright book. A first for me by this author. I will probably look up her other books.

I love this book. It is the first of "The Last Man Standing" series.

I really liked this unconventional post-Regency, early Victorian-era story of Gideon Pearsall and Judith, Lady Chester, a widow. He's 32 and she's 30; both have vowed never to marry again. But it seems this couple was struck by a "lightening bolt." I look forward to the next book in this series.

One of my first books by this author. I enjoyed it enough to continue reading this series. I enjoyed the fact that Judith was able to take more "liberties" than a woman of this time period is normally allowed however I disliked all the "baggage" she brought with her.

Long widowed Lady Judith Chester plays by her own rules--enjoying men of her choice, but never for long. Gideon, Viscount Warton is resisting marriage as long as possible. But soon both Judith and Gideon can't help but wonder...is it possible to be a little wicked and still follow your heart.

I really liked this book. It has a very different plot. About three chapters in to the book, I couldn't figure out how the author would be able to sustain the readers interest. Then the book got really good! This book is very recent, publish date 2007.
