I liked this book, it had a good amount of steam to it, but there was some monotony in some of the dialogues and inner monologues. She went into way more detail than was necessary in some parts and could have elaborated into the mystery plot better as well as help us figure out who the heck Lydie's mystery lover was, or I could just be slow.

I have other books by this author. This is the first in a
trilogy. I like this character; she is a woman with a past
and trying to make a life for herself and her daughter. This
is one of my summer reads (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0373773773, Mass Market Paperback)

When an ancient tax law is invoked requiring all unmarried ladies to either wed or surrender half their wealth, it's not long before the quiet village of Fortune's Folly is overrun by a swarm of fortune-hunting bachelors. Marry again? Never! Not after what Laura, the dowager duchess, was forced to endure. Even if the arrival of her onetime paramour, Dexter Anstruther, is oh-so-tempting, she knows the secret she's kept from him would destroy any chance at a future together. Young, handsome and scandalously enticing, Dexter suspects Laura has a hidden motive for resisting his charms…and he intends to expose her, by any means necessary.
