this was my very first book written by this author, and what a win from the start :) I originally decided to pick it up, because it has of one of my favourite tropes ever: fake relationship / marriage of convenience :) what I did not expect was such entertaining writing style and a main couple that will make me swoon :) so let's get into more details why you need to pick up this historical romance as soon as possible :)
Georgiana "Georgie" Caversteed is in a dangerous position... an extremely wealthy heiress to a shipping empire, she chased away her fair share of fortune hunters over the years... and unfortunately her own cousin is getting more and more determined to put her in a situation where she will be forced to marry him... so what a girl can do to make the best of this? well, if you're Georgie, you come up with a plan... and what a plan it is :) she decides to marry a convict from Newgate prison who will be executed shortly after, so she can become a widow and live more freely in exchange for her helping his family and / or friends financially... what she did not expect is that she will encounter a man from the ton working there undercover... yeah, talk about surprises :) Benedict "Ben" Wylde is the second son of one of the earls, and since he can't blow his cover, and by the way, who would believe him even if he would admit to such thing while in prison ;) so he marries Georgie :) you can imagine her utter shock when she encounters him a few weeks later during one of the balls... ;) and because there is no easy way for them to stop being married without causing a scandal, and Georgie desperately wants to avoid that so she won't ruin her younger sister's reputation, they decide that the best course of action would be for Ben to court her publicly and propose at the end of the season, when they can have an official wedding and then go their separate ways ;) because we all know how that sort of plans go in stories like that... ;)
This was such a delightful novel :) I did not expect how much I would fall in love with these characters and their story... Georgie was my favourite type of heroine to read about: smart and capable of doing things by herself :) not to mention how much she cares for her family, even though they don't always understand her... but there is a lot of love between them :) and then we have Ben... *sighs and swoons a little* ;) he came home from the war recently and started a gentleman's club with two best friends... and I can only assume that future books in this series will be all about them :) he was such a pleasant surprise for me... he's just... very charming, that's for sure... :) that's what makes it so much harder to concentrate on his other qualities :) especially since he likes to play this role of someone who is carefree and don't get attached to people... and that is so not true :) what I think I loved the most about this book is the relationship between Georgie and Ben... what starts as a misunderstanding and a marriage of convenience, slowly grows into something so much more... little by little Georgie gets under Ben's skin, because the more he gets to know her, the more he's not only charmed by her, but also very impressed... and they have to spend more time together, because I forgot to mention, that there is also a mystery aspect to this story ;) obviously, I can't get into more details about it but it involves a conspiracy, theft and all sort of dangerous encounters :) and during all that, not only Ben is more and more interested in Georgie, the same can be said about her... I mean, I can't blame her for falling for Ben... the way he treats her is absolutely lovely... he's not only charming but also acknowledges her mind and capabilities of actually accomplishing things on her own which for her is definitely a nice change :) besides the lovely relationship of our main couple, we get a small romance on the side ;) I won't spoil you who it will involve, but worry not it's also resolved in this installment :) I was very pleasantly surprised by the writing style in this book :) you never know what you will get when it comes to new authors, but I was hooked from the very first chapter and not only I am very eagerly looking forward to reading sequels to this book, I am definitely gonna check out other work by this talented author :) I highly encourage you to give this wonderful historical romance a try :)
