This is a very cute story it starts off going and it doesn't take long to get into the story. The premise is that there is this Rake who falls for Emma and they become engaged but Emma's uncle decides they should wait a year to marry and she was to go to his estate for a long time and would have to be away from Richard (her fiance). So Richard comes up with a plan to be close to her and marry her within a month and things begin. It is sort of comedy of errors and the tale becomes more twisted and things seem to get way too complicated and then there is another wrench thrown into the plan. Someone masquerades as Richard (all part of the ruse) and he falls for someone else, craziness. The characters are quite well done and the story itself was very well written. I didn't care for the ending with the mystery thrown in. It was interesting but it kind of threw the story off since it was at the end of everything, it just didn't really feel like a natural progression. Plus I wasn't a fan of the Duke's long-winded monologue to let everyone know who the culprit was. Over all it was a good and quick read and I hope the author writes more because she seems to have a lot of potential.
