Resumen del Editor

Lady Theodosia Barrington is practically begging to be ruined.

That’s the assumption of the Marquess of Haven after spying Theodosia at a house party given by the Duke of Granby. After his father left him little else but a title and a crumbling estate, Haven is in desperate need of an heiress. Not only is Theodosia rich as Croesus and beautiful, but she’s also a Barrington. Her brother is Leo Murphy, owner of Elysium and the man Haven holds responsible for ruining his father. Theodosia is the solution to all of Haven’s problems.

Theodosia has long been infatuated with the Earl of Blythe. In an effort to prove her affection and perhaps induce him to offer for her, Theodosia paints a scandalous self-portrait of herself for Blythe as a birthday gift. The small token of affection is incredibly improper. Her behavior reckless. She regrets gifting the miniature to Blythe immediately. Desperate to save her reputation before it can be destroyed and escape humiliation, Theodosia makes another rash decision. Retrieve the miniature from Blythe’s study. Except the miniature is gone. And the only thing waiting for her is the Marquess of Haven. And her own ruination.

Narrator really brings Lord Haven to Life

I wouldn't say this story was as good as the first two books but still worth a credit and it was lovely to see Theo learn what true love was in the arms of the sexy yet sensitive Lord Haven. I loved how the narrator performed Lord Haven, she made him extra dreamy lol. I liked Lord Haven's character as he had gone through a lot but still had an open heart and a funny/teasing personality. The only downsides were that after a while Theo's argumentativeness got annoying . She started to come off as airheaded and selfish especially when she actually had a man that truly wanted her, she didn't have to chase this one and I still don't think she told him she loved him at the end after throwing in his face time and time again how she wanted his friend. I felt that after the marriage and the move to his estate, the story kind of dragged with so much explanation of Haven's past and his father/uncle relationship. The revenge plot with Leo was made such an issue at the beginning of the story but felt like it was not revisited until the very end of the story as a last minute tie up of loose ends but was anticlimactic. Also, the epilogue brought about an abrupt ending.
