About this audiobook
How did she end up make-believe married to the Grump Next Door?
Spinster scientist Felicity Montrose has always been curious. So when her dark and dangerous neighbor catches her breaking into his house, her body's reactions to his manhandling raises all sorts of interesting questions. Unfortunately, the irritating man refuses to help her in her experiments to replicate these titillating sensations. Blast.RR
Griffin Calderbank is well aware that his enticing next-door neighbor is a lady, and thus so far off-limits she might as well be in Scotland. She's a dangerous distraction he can't afford, no matter how tantalizing her offer might be.
His hands-off policy is working well, right up until their children enter them into a contest to give him a chance at the inheritance long denied him. The only catch? He'll have to pretend to be a happy husband to the odd, but oh-so-tempting Miss Montrose.
Soon, however, it's not just a dukedom on the line, but the very future of the country. How can he be expected to concentrate on such stakes when there's a brilliant, quirky scientist in his bed, offering him her cooperation in exchange for satisfying her . . . curiosity?
Contains mature themes.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a solid book. Absolutely loved it from beginning to end. The characters are lovely, their growth made sense, the plot was simple enough to be comforting, while also being interesting. This felt like a warm hug with a sexy man who just wants to be a good father.
The historical inaccuracies are a bit annoying. I don't mean the intentional ones, those are great. I mean the labeling of a corset as confining, and a green wedding dress well into the Victorian era.
