Previously published in the anthology the School for Heiresses, Ten Reasons to Stay by Sabrina Jeffries is a quick read when you are short on time and need a slightly sassy break from reality! Eliza Crenshawe, dismayed that her guardian is planning on marrying her off, attempts to flee by "borrowing" a horse from a neighboring estate.Colin Hunt, the recently titled Earl of Monteith, searching for peace from the tortured memories of his wife's brutal murder in India, has just taken up residence in his family's estate. He sees a boy attempting to steal one of his horses, yep, it's actually Eliza. As she relates her unbelievable tale of woe, Colin, of course does not believe her and feels the need to "demonstrate" what could happen to her on the road alone. Enough said about that. Let's just say Eliza is a quick and eager study! What if her tale is true? Will Colin save Eliza from her fate? Can he live without her saucy attitude?This can only be classified as a fun read! Any longer than a novella and the sparks would have ignited into an inferno as these two teased and taunted their way through those ten reasons!
