This is one of those romances where there are two couples (wich the blurb fails to mention)

I liked the first couple Lord Vivien Davenham (loved the unintentional humor caused by his absent manner) and his wife Lady Thea.They have been married for some years but are still childless because of Misunderstandings.

Then there is their (yes all of them are related by blood)handsome cousin Malcolm Calverly,who is returning from abroad and sets off the plot.

Lord Thea is delighted since he will surely lively things up,but her husbandLord Davenham cant help but suspect that his wife always had a soft spot for Calverly and would have rather married him.

Then Calverlys love interest to be appears on the scene and I was like "why oh why" She is one of those unbearable feisty characters who are constantly having a mischevious glint in their eyes.

I cannot say how much I dislike this kind of character.Oh and she is named Tilly Bagshot.

.....

Also she is a shop girl (of sorts)I couldnt help but feel that this could only lead to heartbreak on her part.

Malcom is not better as he just came across as shallow and one-dimensional. Not to mention he is actually considering seducing Thea.

I skimmed through the rest of the book wich means every time Tilly and Malcolm were in the scene.

I was glad to see that Lady and Lord Davenham had a happy ending though. ( )
