Publisher's summary

After waiting five years for her fiancé to return from the war and marry her, Roxana Langley has been jilted! She may have longed for excitement, but this was not what she had in mind....

Who could possibly throw over a woman as beautiful and vivacious as Roxana? Certainly not Alex Winslow, the Earl of Ayersley, who has spent years trying in vain to forget his unrequited love. When he learns she's been abandoned by her cad of a fiancé, he finds himself offering a shoulder for her to cry on. Comfort soon turns into a passionate kiss—and scandal when they are caught in an embrace.

Only one thing will save Roxana from certain ruination: marriage to the earl. The match may save her reputation, but responsible, tongue-tied Ayersley is a far cry from her dashing former fiancé. She's convinced Ayersley is merely doing his duty...while he's sure Roxana is still in love with another man. Are they trading one disaster for another?

A nice read with a nice male lead!!

I loved this book. The story wasn't groundbreakingly original, but it was a nice change from the norm in the sense that the male lead was actually a nice person, more archetypally similar to what we know as the second lead (nice, supports all the heroine's ideas, loves the heroine unconditionally even when she doesn't always deserve it,etc) That is what I think I loved most of this book, that at last, nice guys didn't come last.

Boring

Would you try another book from Alyssa Everett and/or Rosalyn Landor?

No to Alyssa Everett. Absolutely yes to Rosalyn Landor. The two main characters tried my patience to the point where I couldn't finish the book. I got half way through then threw in the towel.

Which character – as performed by Rosalyn Landor – was your favorite?

She's good at any and all narrations. I am a huge fan for her work.
