One bachelor down . . . three more to go. Four most desirable gentlemen have wagered one shilling apiece and a bottle of cognac that will go to the last unmarried man standing . . . Nigel Cavendish knows he'll marry one day, but hopefully that day is many years--and many women--in the future! Until then, the handsome, unrepentant rake intends to enjoy life's pleasures to the fullest! From the moment Lady Felicity Melville spies the adventurous scoundrel climbing from a neighbor's window--with his comely conquest's husband in hot pursuit--she knows Nigel is the answer to her prayers . . . with a little reformation, of course! Felicity craves excitement and who in all of London is more exciting than the infamous Mr. Cavendish? So what's a girl to do but hatch a scheme to win what she so fervently desires. But her plan works too well when a game of chance and an errant pistol shot abruptly make them husband and wife--but in a way neither wanted. Now Felicity has to prove to her wayward husband that she's the only woman he could ever want . . . or need!… (more)

I did not like this as much as the first book in this series. It is a fun read, but Felicity was a little bit too manipulative and Nigel a little bit too childish for my liking. ( )

A delicious Regency read!! Engaging characters and an entertaining plot line. Nice amount of steam to keep the story popping!

I love a lively historical with all the pomp and circumstance! Really enjoyable read!

A fun series. ( )

Really nice story; I'll have to go back and read the first one in the series since I just grabbed this one off my book shelf for something quick to read. ( )

Really funny and touching! I liked this book by Victoria Alexander a lot. Made me laugh and made me cry! That's a very good thing. Nigel and Felicity are somewhat unique and very interesting. Good book. ( )

Another wonderful story in the Last Man Standing series, with a family of characters that you come to care for. The romance is a lot of fun. Even though you know where you'll end out, it's a very enjoyable ride. ( )
