Callie Hutton has created a fast-paced story of Regency London and the "ton". When Lord Coventry humiliates Lady Jane on their wedding day by turning up drunk as a skunk, he has no idea she's the perfect mate for him. All he wants to do is carry out the marriage forced upon him by his father's will, then escape the wife he doesn't want. In fact, he doesn't even remember what she looks like after he flees back to London, explaining why he doesn't recognize her when they meet at a house party.For Lady Jane's (now called Olivia) part, she means to make him pay for the disgraceful way he behaved on their wedding day. As she pretends to be an unattached young lady, he becomes more and more attracted to her, leading to complications galore. Their story is fun, if a bit unbelievable as one other reviewer pointed out. I also grew tired of the hero and heroine always finding it hard to breathe when they saw each other. Outside of that, I thoroughly enjoyed this tasty tale of deceit, revenge and eventual love.I received a free copy of this ebook in exchange for my review.
