What I Say:
I would like to thank author Jane Lark for sending me a copy of this in exchange for a fair and honest review.
This is my last review of Jane's books, I have loved this series and can't wait to read more from Jane.
This is a short story about Rupert, Edward and Robert Marlowe's cousin. Rupert is not impressed with his sisters friend Meredith she irritates him and he thinks she is schemeing.
Meredith isn't schemeing she is shy and on the outside of the ton, Rowena is her friend and sheild as she is shy and nervous, but also totally in love with Rupert. Devastated when she is told she is to marry her fathers business partner she tricks Rupert into marriage.
This is a nice quick read but I was also sad that it wasn't longer as I would like to have got to know both of them more.
I couldn't help but like Meredith an felt sorry for her as she tried to get Rupert to notice her. Rupert is another brilliant Marlowe male.
A great quick read, that also goes with the other books.
4 out of 5 stars
