Wow I read this book and I was amazed it was a debut novel. Its a really fun and original novel with a fun heroine and a wonderful, imperfect hero.Now about the story. We have Millie who is our heroine who has been dragged kicking and screaming to England where she feels like a wallflower. She grew up in India and LOVED it there and she just wants to get married so she can go back there.We have Lucy, who grew up in England with an illegitamate older brother and a legitamate, younger, handsome brother, the Marquess, Alex, our hero. All her friends have fallen for Alex and she feels girls only want to be her friend to meet Alex.Lucy and Millie meet at a dance and become BFF's right away, she introduces her to her brothers and when Alex meets her he is blown away. I mean he is so atracted he can barely speak and he cannot even dance. So he humiliates Millie.Its love at first site for Alex but Millie its hate. He asked her to dance to humiliates her and instead he cannot tell he that he is in love and thats why he treated her that way. Its very important to note, Alex differs from many other romance novels in that he falls in love in seconds, he turns over a new leaf to be worthy of Millie but he is imperfect, he does not always handle love well and he has some other imperfections that cause problems late on.That said he is wonderful, you will love him. He is sweet, caring and so in love he cannot see straight.Millie on the other hand is a fun girl with some insecurities. Even when Alex says he loves her, she thinks its not true. So when circumstance pull Alex and Millie apart she does not believe in Alex.This was a fun, roller coaster novel. I totally loved it and wanted more. However I did skim it during the begining. I think it could have been tightened up more, but once you really get into it, its a fun and fast read.
