Book Summary
At thirty years of
age, Susan Jennings has long been considered a spinster. Exceptionally
intelligent, she has little tolerance for London and the dreaded
Season—if that’s how one is expected to find love, it’s not for her. But
when an invitation arrives that cannot be ignored, Susan leaves her
comfortable life in the country and enters the fashion and frivolity she
most despises. She quickly discovers, however, that there is more to
loathe in London—and his name is George Kendall.
George, Duke of Aylesham, has learned to keep his distance from cloying females chasing the title of duchess. Susan Jennings, however, proves an entirely different challenge—a woman who has pushed him to the limit of his patience with their every encounter. But their simmering hostility is disrupted by a thoughtless slip-up: to avoid a marriage of political strategy, George claims he is already betrothed. And when pressed for the name of the lucky woman, only one name comes to mind: Susan’s. Their forced betrothal proves advantageous, but when their verbal sparring must change in order to be convincing, the line between fact and fiction becomes blurred by something neither expected: love.

My Review
Oh, this book was a fun surprise! Susan Jennings, a spinster, and George, Duke of Aylesham, are two people that you'd never think would end up together. They both are older and set in their ways. Their instant dislike for one another alerts you to the mayhem that is ahead for the main characters. Honestly, I couldn't stop laughing at the banter between these two. As I could relate so much to Susan and her bookish, intellectual ways she became a favorite right from the start. My favorite thing in this novel is how the two former enemies become allies and go up against a Prince wanting to control the Duke's future and financial situation. There were several moments where I actually cheered when Susan stood up to the tyrant. I absolutely loved it!
There is so much to love about this book that doesn't follow the same storyline found in most Regency Romances. Karen has a way of making her novels, the characters, and plotlines so unique. For this reason, I'm always so excited to read another novel from this very talented writer. This book will make a great gift for any reader that loves a clean, Regency Romance.
