The Reluctant Countess by Wendy Vella is a wonderfully hot new historical romance that takes places during Regency England.  This book is a mixture of everything from romance to adventure to mystery.  If you like Downton Abbey or historical romance or even just adventure this book is for you.Sophie, the Countess of Monmouth, comes off to all of London's society as an ice princess with all the men falling at her feet trying to get her attention.  Sophie however is a great actress because she is faking her way through society and her only defense is being cold and distant to protect herself and her "son".  However, Patrick, the Earl of Coulter, sees right through her and they start a heated relationship.  Unfortunately, Sophie's past doesn't stay in the past for very long and the reader sees why she is such an ice princess.  How can she continue with Patrick with her past being what it is? Will they make it?This book is action-packed with a deliciously handsome Earl falling in love with an ice princess regardless of her desire to keep him away.  Every page has some new problem that needs to be faced and the reader won't want to put it down until the very end.  This is a definite must read!
