I thought this was a good read; the plot was slightly varied from the usual forced marriage theme. Teddy's brother the Duke is a wastrel who gambles, drinks and spends most of his time with his mistress and friends. His best friend follows the same habits. Teddy and Juliette are tricked into marriage by the two friends - as a joke? Of course the marriage gets off to a terrible start. Juliette doesn't know that Teddy's responsibilities are the same as hers - take care of the estate for their brother, be the responsible one!  They both think they now have an additional duty of taking care of a spouse - there just isn't enough time in the day!I liked the premise, there wasn't a lot of plot development but, I liked how it was handled, within the limits of the storyline and length. I consider it well worth the price and I thought the ending was different enough to keep my attention.
