Handsome, rakish, incorrigibly flirtatious—Fredrick, Lord Littleton, is notorious. Lady Adeline Wivenly is resolved to keep him at arm's length during her first Season—until she overhears another woman's plot to trick him into marriage. Even a rogue is undeserving of such deception, and Adeline feels obliged to warn him—only to find herself perilously attracted...

In the past, Littleton's charm nearly got him leg-shackled to the wrong woman. Now he's positive he's found the right one, for Adeline is everything he wants and needs in a wife. Her sense of justice is so strong she agrees to help him despite her mistrust. But can the ton's most elusive lord convince the lady he is finally serious about marriage—as long as she will be his bride?


My rating:

DNF @ 7%

I made it to the end of chapter 2 and couldn't go any further. The first chapter was all about the hero, yet I have no idea what the hero was really like, since the entire chapter focused on an "incident" from the past Season and his "fear" of once more entering the ton.

Chapter 2 was supposed to focus on the heroine, I guess, but it was mostly all dialogue, with barely a description, action, or internalization. Also, it started at the meeting between the hero and heroine (which happened in the middle of chapter 1), which was rather jarring.

I didn't like the voice, the style was rather "young" (juvenile or amateurish comes to mind) and two chapters in I still have no idea about who the protagonists were or why they were actually there. And I didn't care.
