Honestly, there were a lot of repetitive arguments in this book. The couple kept coming back to the same thing over and over, with little change. It became annoying very quickly. And I didn't care for the no-means-yes "seduction" scenes.

I usually hate plots of mistaken identity, but Jordan pulled it off nicely. It actually made sense why Evie needed to pretend to be her sister since it was a reality that she might lose her adoptive son otherwise.

The main problem I have with this book is Evie going back and forth between wanting and pushing Spencer away. Jordan does this a lot with her women and it's always 100 pages too much of the same thing.

Otherwise it's pretty entertaining. Not the best but not the worse.

From the back cover:

What kind of woman would marry a man she only just met?

The kind with nothing to lose.

Long ago, Evelyn Cross sacrificed her good name, her freedom, and any hope for love. Now, in the remote English countryside, she struggles to survive and avoid the scandal threatening to destroy all she holds dear . . . until a sinfully handsome viscount arrives on her doorstep, offering marriage, salvation, and tempting her with so much more . . .

What kind of man would marry a woman he only just met?

The kind bound by duty.

Fresh from war, Spencer Lockhart returns home to claim his title and right the wrong his cousin perpetrated upon Evelyn Cross. In need of a wife, his marrying her is a small price to pay for duty. However, when he meets her, the fiery chit is not what he expects to find in a ruined lady. As desire flares hotly between them, honor is the last thing on his mind . . .

What kind of man and woman would marry when they've only just met?

The kind who could ignite a scandal with just one touch.
