Review Originally Posted at: Book FreakRating: 4.5 StarsCharlotte Darrington is thirty-three, unmarried, with a mother who constantly reminds her of it. It’s quite an entertainment watching them banter about her future, and her choices. This girl was something else, and I really adored her. She has a very strong personality, never really care if she grow old alone, and wasn’t really looking for love. She found men in love quite – boring. She wanted a man who knows what he wants and is not afraid to show it. She didn’t want someone who will follow her around like a puppy. I love this girl for following her dreams, and going after the man she wants. It wasn't an easy task, considering the rules of this era, but she did it, and she got her HEA!Nathan Brigham falls into this category – if only she knew why this man prefers solitude and is often cranky. The Marquess of Ravenhurst is annoyed with the girl who led his nephew into the maze. He thought of her a gold digger at first – then she kissed him, and despite the fact that she brings the light into his dark world, he couldn’t afford the distraction and opted to succumb into Charlotte’s charms. He was afraid of being like his father. He was afraid of losing his temper, losing his control.But his manipulative, emotional blackmailing sister didn’t want Charlotte to be with Nathan. She device a plan to have this two separated, until they once again returned to London and found that avoiding each other would be a hard task. Flirting, stolen kisses, and glances – will Charlotte be enough for him to forget the demons of his past?You will love some characters and loathe for some. I hated his sister with all my heart, all their problems arises from her manipulations and selfishness. He might have cause her pain, but until when would he pay for a thing he wasn’t responsible? He had suffer enough already, and I was waiting for either her or Charlotte to put this lady in her place. When it did, I was quite disappointed, she deserved WORSE than what Nathan did!Felix (from book 1), the total opposite of his sister, supports Charlotte whole heartedly. As long as she was happy, he was there ready to give her advice and of course, his help. He just wanted her happy and wants her to find what he & Clarice did – true, unadulterated love. A love that is strong enough to withstand anything, even boredom.I think I enjoyed this series more because I laughed a lot, and well, got my eyes a little watery as well. This series keeps on getting better and better. I had so much fun in reading this sequel, and I think, this goes into my favorite list of regency romance novels to date.✪Complimentary Copy was given in exchange for an honest review.✪
