Synopsis
England, 1817.
Miss Adeline Hays is out of options. Determined to escape marriage to a repugnant earl, Adeline plans to deliberately allow herself to be caught in a compromising position at a house party with the much kinder man she’d hoped to marry. Instead, Adeline accidentally enters the wrong chamber and tumbles into the bed of the mad duke.
Edmond Rochester, the duke of Wolverton, is seeking a wife to care for his two daughters. A young lady of sensibilities, accomplishment, and most importantly, one who he is not attracted to—a complete opposite of the bewitching beauty who traps him into marriage. But despite the lust he feels for his new duchess, Edmond is resolved to never allow them intimacy, refusing to ever again suffer the tormenting loss of a loved one.

Review by Iza
This book, oh my God, this book! I can't express just how much I loved it!
Or maybe I can. Okay, I'll try.
The heroine, Adeline Hays doesn't want to marry any man she doesn't love. She keeps fighting her parents on it. She speaks her mind. She's a girl after my own heart, for sure. She's also devious and plots out a way to trap herself into a marriage with a man she at least likes.
But she gets tricked and finds herself trapped into a marriage to a man everyone fears. The Duke of Wolverton, a man said to have killed his own wife *cue outraged gasps from the ladies that love to spend time gossiping*
But the Duke of Wolverton is also looking for a wife and he decides Adeline would do.
Yes, I love the Duke. He is mysterious, with a dark side to him that reminded me of many heroes from Gothic literature. As a matter of fact, I love how the entire book has that Gothic feel to it. It certainly made it onto my top reads of the year list. And yes, the Duke is also a new book boyfriend.
Will I reread it? Yes! Do I recommend it? Yes! Highly! You have to read this book! It's the first book I read of Ms. Reid's but not the last. I'm going to make sure to read the others as well. I'm also getting this beauty in a paperback format, to have on my shelf.
5 stars. 6. Loved it and I want to thank the publishers for the copy given in exchange for my honest review.
