Just as Miss Isabella Winslowe is finally achieving comfortable respectability, the fascinating and decidedly unrespectable Earl of Colebrooke inconveniently appears...
When a gentleman is so determined to flirt...
The darkly handsome Daniel Colebrooke is intrigued and alarmed when an alluring young lady arrives at his door in need of assistance. In a moment of impetuosity, Daniel decides he must keep a close watch on Isabella, and what better way than to strike up a not–so–innocent flirtation...
Together they'll cook up more than a little mischief when a disappearing dead body and a lascivious scandal spins their reckless game entirely out of control.
(Terra's Thoughts) This little who-dun-it romance is quite adorable. Part mystery tangled in the web of romance with some spunk and sass that will have you snickering as you try to figure out who did what, when and where. Oh and where did the body go?
Lady Isabella Winslowe is quite the treat amongst the ton and is thought to be a bit on the strange side. A lovely flower who has decided that being a wall flower is not for her and her fellow awkward ladies, Isabella starts a Ladies Reading Society. It's what she does behind closed doors with these awkward ladies that has the bookies at White's Gentleman's Club placing wagers.
Daniel Colebrooke, the seventh Earl of Colebrooke has returned to London to not only find himself a wife that will serve as his broodmare but also a husband for his dear sister. He's handsome as sin and the most sot after man in all of the ton. Caring and daring are just a few of his finer traits but stubbornness and his lack of want for female opinions is just a bit of what gets our delightful Earl in a bit of a muck.
The pace of this story is quite nice with its encounters of kisses in secluded places, comic games of switch-er-o with a less desirable gentlemen of questionable means and stubborn opinionated hard headed nobles of both sexes.
I found this to be quite charming with it's tit for tat and satisfying ending.
