The premise for this short piece of literature was good: a woman (girl really) in Regency London who has absolutely no desire to be married (genuinely) so that she can do great things like work to make orphans lives better. But to do this she has to get her parents to let her out of having a Season. Which they don't want to do until she takes her determination too far and begs a man to kiss her. She has no clue who he is, nor he any inklings of who she is, but she needs him to kiss her where she can be seen so her suitors can cast her aside so she can live as a spinster in peace. Flash to several years later and you see what all her efforts got her.Its really short though and by the time you're really working yourself into the storyline it ends. There isn't really anything that can be called a resolution. More accurately it seems like the last third of the book must've been lost somewhere. Then there are several "snippets" of other books. 1 star for a creative view on someone whose only ulterior motive was to help others. 1 star for what was there being well written and descriptive. It just cut itself off too abruptly and tied those loose ends together just a bit too fast (like Warp speed #5) for me to get behind it.
