Marrying Mischief: Lyn Stone

“HE HAD PLAYED HER FALSE ONCE…SHE WOULD NOT TRUST HIM AGAIN!

“Inheriting an earldom had obviously gone to Nicholas Hollander’s head. After he’d left Emily’s reputation in tatters years before, how could he expect that she would ever agree to marry him? Yet still he insisted that her rash efforts to find her missing brother had left them no choice but to wed, and straightaway.

“THE PRODIGAL SON HAD BECOME THE HEIR…AND BEEN GIVEN THE CHANCE TO REDEEM HIMSELF

“Nick’s youthful defection had ruined Emily Lovenye’s prospects. So it was no wonder that the vicar’s daughter wanted nothing to do with him. Unwittingly compromised into a hasty marriage, his courageous Emily was giving him the devil of a time as he struggled to win back her trust and turn their inconvenient union into wedded bliss.”

This book was genuinely short, sweet, and to-the-point…and I genuinely enjoyed it! I had never read Lyn Stone before and saw this book as a quick read. I’m not going to lie. I nearly devoured the book in a span of a few hours! I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and the situations they were placed in were fantastic! I loved how their strong wills warred with one and other and how—though they never stopped loving each other over the years—they had so much difficulty showing their true emotions. There were twists that kept me on my toes and dynamic characters that made the story interesting.

The readers want to think the best of Nick, but his attempts at showing Emily his love seem to be thwarted at nearly every turn. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will more than likely look up Stone in the future!
