A witty, sexy novella about a virgin widow and a rake with something to prove.

Eighteen months ago, Lizzie Troutt’s husband died in his mistress’s bed, leaving her determined to never marry again….and unfortunately virginal.

Eighteen years ago (give or take a few) the Honorable Oliver Berwick blackened his own soul, leaving him hardened and resolutely single.

When the chance for redemption in the form of a country house party invitation comes his way, Oliver is determined to prove himself a gentleman.

Until he breaks all the codes of gentlemanly behavior…once again.

 

Ratings and reviews

If you haven't read anything by Eloisa James yet, and are thinking about it, this novella is a great way to give it a try. It has everything that I love about her writing, and is a wonderful story. The characters are great, and there are many amazing moments in this story. Some are funny and some are sad, and that is part of what makes it so great. I love that Lizzie is feisty and strong, and how Oliver has changed since he was young, and how he feels about the boy he was. The ending was one of my favorite parts, and while I have not read the Essex Sisters books yet, I had no trouble following along. In fact, I can't wait to dive into that series.

Lizzie, a widow had a terrible marriage to a horrible man who took away all her confidence. Oliver falls immediately in.love upon meeting her. He finally convinces her that she is beautiful and worthwhile.

Beautifully written. This story made me smile alot, laugh, and had just a hint sadness. Loved it.
