Miss Elizabeth Cade has been waiting years for her life to begin. Because of a tiny mistake when she was fourteen, her father will not allow her a debut until her three older sisters are settled. He doesn't want to chance her ruining her sister's marital prospects. When Eliza meets Harry Wright, a known rogue with a reputation for the ladies, she knows she'll be ruined if she is caught alone with him. But every time she turns around, he's right in front of her.

This is a cute short story with appealing characters. Eliza can't wait for her sisters to be married so she can get on with her life. She is willing to help them find a husband so she can finally make her debut. Harry is a guy who speaks what is on his mind. At first he seems to be a wastrel, gambling his way through life. But as time goes by, Eliza learns his true character. My rating: 3.5 Stars.

This is a stand-alone book that was once part of an anthology, so it's only 110 pages long. I thought the story really deserved to be developed a bit further. The plot takes place over several years, but since it is relatively short as a book, the story skips large chunks of time. I would have responded better to the characters if they had been given a bit more page time to really develop. As it is, there's nothing wrong with the book, it just feels like a condensed version of a story that would be a lot more enjoyable in a fuller treatment.
