Vexed by a Viscount: All's Fair in Love, #5

By Erin Knightley

Prudence Landon has always done exactly as she should. She’s obeyed her parents’ every word, lived by society’s every dictate, and even agreed to marry a man more than twice her age simply because it was expected of her. In the fortnight before her wedding, she decides it’s high time to bend a few rules before life as she knows it is over.

Viscount Ashby leads a charmed life. Betrothed since the age of seven, he is perfectly content to allow his off-the-market status to keep the marriage-minded mamas at bay. When he returns home to his parent’s estate and finds their prim, straight-laced young neighbor swimming naked in broad daylight, he’s both amused and intrigued.

When Ash discovers Prudence’s upcoming nuptials to the aging squire, he decides to help her live a little before the parson’s mousetrap springs closed. But what started as good fun soon leads to something much more. With her wedding fast approaching, they must choose between breaking all the rules and losing their one chance for happiness.

***This is a novella of approximately 28,000 words***

Reviews for Vexed by a Viscount

[pnrlist · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Almost lands on the abused heroine shelf, but too short to really tease things out. I liked this, even if I would have preferred it be a full-length novel.

[jillian_leigh-1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Loved the author's style. A humorous, lighthearted story.

[caslater83 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Not something I would want Christian readers to pick-up. I felt that the storyline went too fast and the characters still could have had some more meat in between the beginning and the end. Leave out the naughty stuff and replace it with more of their dialogue. At least their banter sounded fun.
