Amelia Wimple is an heiress, from trade, that has had her heart broken and been humiliated in front of the ton. She has remade herself and has given up on marriage. Lord Stephen Brooks, son of a marquess, is a Rake of the first order; gambler, drinker and seducer of women.They met two years ago at a house party given by Stephen’s mother, Lady Greystone, and he came to her aid. She never forgot his kindness and is finally given a chance to return the favor. Being thrown together they had a chance to explore their attraction to each other and get to know each other in a way propriety would not allow. It is a charming story of chivalry and mended hearts, with a rake discovering he wants to be the man she thinks he is. The humor that runs through their dialogue is refreshing, she prefers honest plain speaking, not the usual fluff that is exchanged at a party. It is a wonderful read, perfect for a chilly afternoon and a cuppa tea.I received an advanced reader copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
