After being jilted by his fiancee, Sir Tobias Aldridge finds himself at loose ends. When his former fiancee, Sophia, comes back to town with a new husband, Toby wants revenge against the man who married the woman he considered his own. What better way than to marry the man's sister. Isabel Grayson is looking to marry a powerful lord that will allow her to become a lady of influence. She fights for the poor and knows she needs wealth and power to make a statement. Toby doesn't have the big title that she is looking for, but he does make her heart race every time she looks at him. When he proposes after just meeting her and promises to run for a seat in Parliament, she agrees to marry him. But will the impetuous marriage really work?

The last book in the Wanton Dairymaid trilogy was a little slow. I liked Toby and knew he was talking himself into a corner with his lies to his new wife. Isabel was a bit too sweet. She is a do-gooder who flogs herself if she does or feels anything she thinks is inappropriate. The couples from the previous books all make an appearance in this one. It was a a solid historical romance worth reading. My rating: 3.5 Star.
