About this ebook
Officious. Difficult. Rich.
…Is the discourteous manner in which the Earl of Ashland would describe his new wife. In dire financial straits, Ash has sacrificed himself at the altar in order to salvage his lofty family name, grudgingly uniting himself to the wealthy tradeswoman with steel in her spine and ice in her veins. He can't imagine he'll ever find anything to admire about her, until a glimpse of the simmering heat beneath her cool façade arouses an undeniable attraction.
Indolent. Irresponsible. Drunk.
…Is precisely how Honora Botham would label her new husband. Marrying the handsome earl elevated her to a long-coveted status, allowing her to achieve her beloved grandmother's dreams for the family's ascent into the nobility. Eager to finally experience the sensual pleasures of marriage, Honora enters into her marriage willingly. But while she's always admired Ashland's looks, she can find little to approve of in his indulgent avoidance of responsibility.
His indolence and her ambition make for a volatile union, and yet… Mutual desire grows stronger, but is it enough to overcome the discord between them?

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Not great. At one point I was close to giving up entirely. Ashland is an entitled boor for most of the book. He behaves like a child and isn't even great in bed. However, it is good to read a book where the heroine is not a simpering skittish miss who is incapable. The ending seemed a bit bleh too- and really I spent the whole book waiting for Ashland to redeem himself with some great gesture. It never happened. Not impressed.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A great read that went far beyond the usual tropes to create an authentic evolving relationship. Very satisfying.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Let down by an immature and self-pitying hero whose growth and redemption came too little too late.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I liked this book very much. It is a beautiful story but the most I liked are the characters. The heroes have depth, they evolve through the story and as their love grows their character changes, the edges soften and they finish by finding the worth in each other. Definitely a must read!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A bit heavy drama. The insecurities of the H and h initially in their wedding was well dealt.
