“Once a connoisseur of beautiful debutantes, Lord Bryce Keene now has more practical concerns as guardian to his headstrong niece. The girl needs the influence of a true and gentle lady…and so Bryce selects Cassandrs Hampsted, known as an expert on the rules of polite society, to offer his hand in marriage. But Bryce is about to discover that not all is as it appears.“Since penning an etiquette book for young ladies, Cassandra has learned that happy endings are not guaranteed—even for those who follow society’s rules to perfection. Lord Bryce’s offer is enticing indeed, but Cassandra will not risk her heart without concocting fifty-six provisions for marital harmony that Bryce will wish he’d read in full! As this strong-willed couple barters and negotiates their way to true happiness, they uncover a blissful union that is far too passionate to be called proper.”
I actually finished this book two days ago and I just got the time to sit down and review it. I have never read Victoria Malvey and I actually really enjoyed her writing. She actually reminds me a lot of Celeste Bradley—in her own way. I LOVED how smart and witty her characters were as they tried to best one and other. She made them seem alive and really relatable. I was charmed by the characters’ plights and their inhibitions as well as their desires. I recommend this delightful book and I will be certain to look for more of Malvey’s works.
