Lady Catherine and Baron Borgeault have been married for seven years.The Baron is a pig and the marriage is not a happy one. He has a pair of horses he wants to sell. He invites Adam Stanford Earl of Ashworth to visit his home with a view to selling the Earl the horses. This is where the Earl first lays eyes on the Baron's very beautiful wife Catherine.This is a romance but it is far from romantic IMO. Although initially we are lead to dislike Baron Borgeault, I very soon came to pity him, he was a poor tormented soul, and although he treated his wife poorly, she for her part had never once in seven years of their marriage made any attempt to pierce his defences and try to discover how to help him. I found her weak and vain, with no backbone. My own personal objection to this story is that it is based on adultery, not my favourite theme for a story. At the time I downloaded this it was free, I assume that this is to persuade the reader to purchase further books in this series. Was I persuaded no afraid not.
