Excellent!
The story had just enough intrigue to make it really interesting, the hero was fighting to overcome the heroine's difficulties with marriage in a delightful twist. The characters were engaging and believable - you just have to HATE the hero's mother.

I wasn't sure I was going to like this book when I first started it. By the end I really liked it. Enjoyed the two main characters quite a bit; somewhat disliked the sister although I don't believe that was the intention of the author. The story had a nice mix of drama and humor. Enjoyed it enough that I will look into other books by this author.

Happily reunited with the girls, Annabel's grandmother resolves to convince her nephew, Stephen Mallory, the Marquess of Silverton, to abandon his rakish lifestyle and wed Annabel. Stephen is clearly captivated - but with the wrong sister. Determined to make Meredith his own, Stephen embarks on a seduction that will leave her with no choice but to surrender to his touch...
