I picked up this book solely to read "The Proposition" by Leslie Lafoy. My rating is based on that short story.

Rennick St. James, the Earl of Parnell, has returned home to find the lovely Julia Hamilton engaged to another man. Rennick has loved Julia for years. He was her husband's friend but would never cross the line to make a move on Julia. Now she is available for the next four days until her wedding. Rennick vows to win Julia over before she marries another man.

This story confused me. I liked both Rennick and Julia. They were great together. They both confessed that they had loved each other for years, but Julia still wouldn't agree to break off her engagement and marry him. I couldn't figure out why other than the fact that he had a reputation as a playboy and she didn't think he was good husband material. It still didn't explain why she was in a hurry to marry another man. My rating: 3 Stars.
