Publisher's Summary

Now or never...

It's the last chance for Cynthia Brightly, the town's most bewitching belle. Driven out of London by a secret scandal, she must find a grand husband at the Redmonds' house party before word of her downfall spreads all over England. Unfortunately, someone at Pennyroyal Green is already privy to the whispers of broken engagements and dueling lovers: Miles Redmond, renowned explorer and - thanks to his brother's disappearance - heir to the family's enormous fortune.

Miles set his sights on Cynthia once, at a time when the ambitious beauty thought herself too good for a second son. But now he's heir apparent, relishing his control. He strikes a bargain with her: he'll keep Cynthia's steamy secrets and help her find a husband among the guests - in exchange for a single kiss.

What could be the harm in a simple kiss? Cynthia is about to discover that it's enough to unleash fierce passion - and that Miles Redmond is most certainly like no other lover in the world.

Contains mature themes.

Pennyroyal Green is here! Don't miss it!

Step into the Pig and Thistle and begin your next romantic adventure in the Pennyroyal Green Series. Julie Anne Long writes with such affection for the town and its characters that you'll want to move in. Each book in the series is a stand alone romantic adventure, but it is best to read the series in order so you can learn more and more about the town and its denizens as well as the arc of a storyline about the Eversea/Redmond curse that runs through all the books. No one puts more heart into her romances than Julie Anne Long, giving us strong characters with loads of very compelling attraction. And this book has some laugh out loud moments as love plays havoc with formality and duty. I have read this series in print twice, so I highly recommend it, and I can't wait for the next books to arrive to Audible!

I tried... 😐

It’s the second book from the series that I listened to (Sigh)... At first I thought the author style was more of the ‘’ slow burning passionate storyline,’’ but omg the plot was dragging. It was the same for the first book - very little romance for literally 70% of the book. The story has no climax whatsoever; nothing special to make you want to continue to listen to it. Well, at least in this book, the characters had somewhat of a chemistry unlike the first one. It was not bad. It was just super boring man.

Has Everything You Want

I liked reading this book very much. It has great characters, with terrific dialogue. It has everything you could want in a romance, from problems to solve and steamy sex. It kept me turning pages from start to finish. I do not think you will be disappointed. I know I enjoyed it.

okay....

there was an awful lot of dialogue in the first half of the book....and very little romance...it picked up but at one point I was ready to stop listening. overall it was a decent book but not a favorite. not sure I would listen to other books in the series....

Absolute perfection

I laughed and cried and I absolutely love this one. Justine Eyre was excellent, as always, and better paced than Book 1 (not so rushed). Cynthia and Miles are genuinely so well matched and the love between them grew at a perfect pace. There were several moments where I felt like I was there witnessing their moments of love, anger and awkwardness as they stumble through love together. Definitely recommend Book 2!!!!
