Young widow Lady Margaret Coats, Countess of Asherton, would like to marry again in the hopes of having children of her own. She wants, or at least thinks she wants, a steady, mature gentleman she can have a steady friendship with. Too bad it is her intended's nephew whom she can't stop thinking about.
Lord Sebastian Wright, Marquess of Rockingham, is a known rake, charming and much desired by all the ladies, especially given his fortune and the fact that he is the heir to a dukedom. But there is more to Sebastian than meets the eye and as he and Margaret develop an unlikely friendship, she finds herself even more confused about her impending betrothal and her inconvenient attraction to the younger man.
There may be what some consider to be spoilers ahead. Overall I really enjoyed this book. I must say it was very high on angst and emotion, and I tend to dislike angst, but that did also serve to make the characters very real. Both Sebastian and Margaret had past issues and pains to work through but I really liked them together. Margaret annoyed me a bit with her inability or refusal to truly stand up for herself, though she did grow and improve some in this as the book went on. Although it did work for these two, this book did feature a pet peeve of mine: the separation, which I never much like, but, to be fair, in their circumstances it did serve to help these two gain perspective and grow, both as individuals and as a couple. This was a great read and I look forward to more in the series.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
