    About this ebook

    It's all fun and games … until someone falls in love.

    Oliver Goswick, Viscount Rathburn, needs money—and soon. With time ticking away and his inheritance held hostage until he's properly wed, Rathburn's slim options point to a single solution: a faux engagement. In need of the perfect bride, he knows of only one candidate: his best friend's wallflower sister. The plan seems flawless, except for one problem … He can't help falling in love with her.

    Poised, polished Emma Danvers knows nothing good can come of Rathburn's scheme. Spending the next two months engaged in a mock courtship is not what she'd imagined for her final season. Yet, charmed by his roguish ways and the inexplicable hammering he causes in her heart, she accepts his challenge.

    For Emma, keeping the secret seemed easy when it was just a game … But as Rathburn begins to see past her reserved exterior to the passionate woman within, the risk of losing her heart becomes all too real.

      Not terribly angsty, but just enough to get on that shelf. The heroine is a wallflower and the betrothal a sham, rife with all the misunderstandings and "unrequited" feelings one would expect from such a plot. I liked it a lot but probably would have enjoyed it even more if I had read it undisturbed instead of during work with a million interruptions.
    • 5/5
      Such a sweet series. The friendship between the 4 friends is truly fabulous. Looking forward to reading the balance 2 books.
    • 4/5
      Definitely agree that there's some anachronisms in the speech and speech patterns, but not so much that it totally threw me out of the story or anything. Just enough that I noticed.
    • 4/5
      Adorable. Despite the ridiculous secret Emma has (gasp! She paints with oils like her eccentric father) that she thinks is scandalous, it's an adorable book with a lovely hero and heroine. I always like seeing friends fall in love. I liked the secondary characters, too, especially the meddlesome dowager duchess. This book is total and complete fluff, but it's extremely entertaining fluff, and I definitely recommend it (especially because it sets up the next book in the series, which is great).
    • 4/5
      Awhile back I read this collection of short stories, Five Golden Rings, and I liked the story Vivienne Lorret wrote, so I was looking forward to this story.

      I wasn’t surprised to find it one of the sweetest stories I’ve read. Everyone in it was interesting and likable, especially our hero and heroine.

      Emma was such a sweetheart! No wonder Oliver picked her for his pretend betrothed. His grandmother was sure to love her!

      He was such a rascal and a wonderful man. I loved the way he approached a problem, and the obstacles to his plans.

      I also enjoyed their romance and the chemistry was undeniable. It fairly jumped off the pages.

      I highly recommend this fast-paced, well written and charming romance.

      I have said time and time again. I am a sucker for a spinster or wallflower romance. This time the proper wallflower Emma Danvers find that she willing gives herself over to a faux engagement to the roguish ways of Viscount Rathburn. Her brother’s friend. All this of course was to gain the inheritance that pinned the future on a marriage. I was swept into the read with the characters and the ups and downs of Oliver and Emma’s adventure of faux engagement. Then to watch them fall in love was entertaining. Emma wanted nothing to do with falling in love because she would be left hurt at the end of all this but things change. Oliver saw the sensual creature that lay beneath the proper exterior that she showed the ton. The banter was charming. The blooming relationship was taking place before all but neither could truly see it. I just felt from the beginning of it all that this was a sweet, yet delightful road to romance that they both will cherish for life. Through it all I was always comparing things to my favorite wallflowers (from Eloisa James and Lisa Kleypas) and the reason that I love them so much. The storyline was good. The characters I loved. The off color remarks or more so the off continent verbiage and out of context references did not change the way that I enjoyed the story.
    • 4/5
      Emma and Oliver have known each other since childhood. Now he needs to find a way to get his inheritance, so he can finish repairs to his family home and finish building a hospital. The only way his grandmother will release the funds is if he is aligned with/engaged to a proper lady. There's only one lady she approves of, Emma. How could a fake courtship/engagement go wrong?With a seemingly accurate period basis, reality, events, this adds a nice flavor to the narrative and authenticity to the characters. Characters are typically sweet, caring, and interesting.Overall, an enjoyable read.
    • 4/5
      While the plot of a false engagement becoming a real loved based marriage is a common one, the quirky and interesting characters make it an enjoyable story.
