Lady Caroline Pearson was in a bind. Her brother-in-law has just lost the deed to her home in a card game. If she doesn't get it back, she and her aunt will be turned out onto the streets. So, Caroline decides to meet with the man who won the title, Lord James Ferrington. James doesn't know what to make of the widow on his doorstep. Is she just another woman wanting to become the mistress of a rich man? The only thing James is sure of is that he can't stop thinking about Caroline since he met her.
This is a cute historical romance that was sometimes laugh-out-loud funny. Caroline and James meet and are immediately attracted to each other. The problem is Caroline has sworn off men after her ill-fated marriage. James hasn't had time for women because he has been busy making his fortune. Their relationship ends up being a series of misunderstandings. Helping push the couple together is Caroline's Aunt Minerva and her three best friends. This story sometimes read like a 1930's screwball comedy. I enjoyed the balls, kidnappings, seductions, and misunderstandings throughout this story. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
