Publisher's Summary

What a girl wants...

Miss Viola Darling always gets what she wants. Always. And what she wants more than anything is to marry James Kilbrenner, the earl of Tannenbrook. She's fallen hard for the giant, taciturn, surly brute, and she positively will have no other. The problem? He's not interested. Not even a little. But Viola cannot afford to lose. And she has her heart set on James. If only he will bend to a bit of persuasion.  

...is an earl like no other...

James Kilbrenner knows how determined the entirely too beautiful Miss Darling can be - the daft woman cornered him at a perfectly respectable dinner and mangled his cravat before he could escape. He has no desire to marry, less desire to be pursued, and will certainly not kiss her kissable lips until they are both breathless, no matter how tempted he may be. 

...and only the right one will do....

Thrown in her path by a meddling marchioness, James finds himself under sensual siege from a tiny, flirtatious sprite who puts both his heart and his vow to remain unwed at risk. And when scandal looms, he learns the hard way that a man can resist only so long before the indomitable Miss Darling gets her way.  

Contains mature themes.

Ms. Braden knocks it out of the park again.

This is a great story. I really like the in's and out's of the characters in each other's story because you get to find out how their stories start and continue from book to book. I have enjoyed each and every book in this series. Viola is a rare beauty and petite in size, while James is such a giant of a man it makes you wonder how are they going to fit. It is the lovely Viola who turns out to be time enough for the big man James, in spite if their mix match sizes. It was a lot of fun finding out how they made it work, and turned out to be perfect for each other.

Sigh

I love James character, but the way the heroin just got her way is not unrealistic. There was no great work on her part. All of a sudden James just loved her, she was perfect in an u unrealistic way and while I love Happy end most of these story have no real fight in them especially when it comes to the women. It's always the men who are in the wrong and whenever a situation arise in where the heroin does something wrong it's quickly glossed over and easily resolved. Again unrealistic!!! Even for fictional characters

She will not take NO for an answer

Another beautifully written book and Mary Sarah is a great narrator. Loved the book. Viola Darling fell in love with James even before she met him. But once she saw his heroism she knew she wanted to marry him. James the Earl of Tannenbrook became and Earl when he was 17 years old even though he wasn't raised that away. He was working to be a black smith/stone mason. He tells his girl he will be back for her. When he does return a year later he finds out that not only has she married but she was pregnant with his child and he died after he was born. Stricken that he was never told he proclaims he will never marry. But when he meets Viola a beautiful dainty creature he just might change his mind. Viola tries to entice him at every encounter to no avail. When they are at a house party together she is desperate. A wonderful story about finding your one true love.

James ❤️

The character of James is so honestly appealing, his character heartwarming and sensual. The Scot is sexy!

good but...

I liked the book but at times it seemed to drag....overall it was good and I enjoyed it.

Dreadful dreadful narrator. Story ok

This is driving me mad. I don’t mind this author, the stories aren’t bad but Mary Sarah is APPALLING!!! Really!!! I’ve never heard so many mispronunciations!! I get it, their supposed to be posh, but that isn’t even how English posh people speak! She’s so obviously an American doing her best, but no. Just NO. Totally spoils my enjoyment and she’s reading so many stories on Audible!Ugh! I’m now actively avoiding books read by her. Shame for the authors as I buy lots of books!
