The heroine in this novel was hard to like. She was too perfect but by the end of the book I was begining to like her which to me was a little too late.

This is one of my all-time favorite romance novels. Mary Balogh at her best! I'm only posting it because somehow I ended up with two copies.

Kit Butler's family has matchmaking plans that he wants nothing to do with. So, he decides to find his own bride. Lauren Edgeworth was abandoned at the altar over a year ago and is determined that marriage is not for her. But when Kit and Lauren meet they make a deal. Lauren will masquerade as Kit's intended if he agrees to provide a passionate, unforgettable summer. When the summer ends, she will break off their engagement, rendering her unmarriageable and leaving them both free. It sounds like a great plan until Kit falls in love with her.
This book moved along very slowly. At times I almost gave up on it. The pace did pick up a little toward the end which made it more enjoyable.

A romance set in England. Kit Butler needs to marry for heirs and since he doesn't seem to want to give up the wilder life his father has picked a wife for him. Lauren was abandoned at the altar and has determined that marriage is not for her but she would like to experience an adventurous summer. The 2 decide to pretend they are engaged for Kit to avoid the unwanted wife and in exchange he agrees to show her a great summer. Of course he falls in love with her but must convince Lauren that they need more than a summer to remember.

Second prequel to the great Bedwyn series-Kit and Lauren's story- Lauren finally gets the guy. I recommend reading "One Night For Love" first-Nevell and Lily's story with Lauren as a secondary character. Intro to the Bedwyn's as Kit's(estranged) friend and neighbor. Great story-all iceburgs must melt sometime.

I loved this book so much that I've started reading the rest in the series. Great author, great book! I love Regency romances, so this was great. If you like Regency romances, I predict you will love this book!!
