Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Johanna Lindsey delivers a sparkling, passionate tale of an earl's daughter who must convince a mysterious viscount to marry her and end his vendetta against her brother.

One duel could be considered a matter of honor, but three duels are attempted murder!

With enlightened society outraged at such reckless behavior among young noblemen, the prince regent orders Robert Whitworth, the earl of Tamdon's heir, and Lord Dominic Wolfe to end their dispute by allying their families through marriage. Whichever party refuses to comply will forfeit his lands and title.

Whitworth relishes the idea of sending his younger sister, Brooke, to his enemy's remote estate. He knows the Wolf will reject her as a bride, thereby losing his wealth and status. The Wolf, however, is determined to scare away the Whitworth chit. With dueling no longer an available means of destroying the man he abhors, he will be satisfied to see him lose his lands and title. But he doesn't expect his enemy's sister to be so resourceful or resilient.

Brooke Whitworth has been dreaming of her first Season in London, because she intends to win a husband who will take her far away from her unloving family. Instead she is being sent to the Yorkshire moors to wed a mysterious nobleman whose family is cursed and who has thrice tried to kill her brother. But there's no room in her heart for fear; this man is her means of escape. She will make him love her!

Loved it!

I have been reading JL's books since I was 14, and over the years I grew a little tired of them. I'm 32 now, and finally found a book I can enjoy again! Most of her books {more like 95% of her books} is a huge battle against each other. So much arguing and bickering, but not this one! Finally a book where they can admit their desire for each other, with out waiting till the very end.

I did feel that it was a little rushed, and at once point I was completely confused at what had happened. One minute they're laughing and then next, she's screaming at him....no clue why when it seemed to me like he wasn't serious. Anyways, overall a great read.

I love me a Joanna Lindsey!

Definitely not her best. Definitely not her worst. Definitely love Joanna Lindsey. Definitely definitely definitely...

Decent freebie

The story of Lord Wolfe and Lady Brooke is much different than most arranged marriage trope fest. It’s subtle. Not a fan of angst, the differences between the main characters are actually legitimate if not misdirected. There were no contrived arguments or misunderstandings. The two even use a modicum of logic and decency in how they treat one another. Lindsey even avoids petty dramas that seem bound to happen and would have with a lazy storyteller. As a result, I didn’t hate either character or quit reading due to absurdity.

Unfortunately, the outcome of Wolfe’s family tragedy is glaring from the moment he explains what happened to his sister. The predictability doesn’t take away from the central love story, though. The supposed mystery is more of a background plot device than anything else, so I enjoyed the courtship between Wolfe and his lady despite the transparency.

While this is by no means the best the author or the sub-genre offers, the novelty has some charm. It is a middling text, good enough to read for free but not nearly good enough that I would buy or use a credit.
