To be fair, it might have been the (bad) translation. However, I soon lost interest in the characters and the story. There also seem to be some loose ends. I'll try the next book in the series though. PS After reading all book in this series, I'm glad I borrowed them, I won't be buying them. It has been a while but I can remember better books by NC. I got up to page 194 and I couldn't do it anymore. I don’t know why the premise of this sounded appealing to me. I thought maybe it would be humorous, but the book took itself a bit too seriously. The dialogue was pretty cliché. The characters were not likeable at all. They kept lusting after each other so much that I was screaming in my head to “f*ck already and get it over with!!” I don’t know if the author was trying to build sexual tension for the grand finale, but I just found it annoying. There were some plot twists or so it seemed…I can’t really say since it wasn’t enough to keep my interest to continue on with the story. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"When an ancient tax law is invoked requiring all unmarried ladies to either wed or surrender half their wealth, the quiet village of Fortune's Folly is overrun by a swarm of fortune-hunting bachelors. Marry again? Never! Not after what Laura, the dowager duchess, was forced to endure the first time. Even if her onetime paramour, Dexter Anstrutherm is oh-so-tempting, she knows her secrets would destroy any chance of a future together. Young, handsome and scandalously tempting, Dexter suspects Laura has a hidden motive for resisting his charms...and he intends to discover it, by any means necessary."--p. [4] of cover.

In the end, while I cannot read this novel again, I look forward to the next books in the series (The Brides of Fortune) and watching Laura’s rakehell cousin Miles get a runaround from his lady love. ( )
