Overall I absolutely love this book and want to get my hands on some more by this author, however it took me three tries to start the book and get into it. The first chapter/intro is too long and overwhelming with too many characters and titles all going on at once, but once you get past the first chapter it all starts to make sense. Some real great comic twists and sensual moments. Overall a fabulous read, just give it some patience.

Ok here is why it is a mixed review - At first I could not stand the introduction of so many character and the weird conversation at the society parties. Then I started to love the book when knew all back stories for all the character it all did fit and some great lesson were learned. The main story was about Cosima Vaughn who is Irish with lots of English Ton connection. She meets Benedict Wayborn who you love to hate. Benedict want to marry so he starts looking and asking everyone who might say yes. He falls for Cosima/Cherry and that is were starts to get interesting. I found myself wanting to get back to book to find out what the cast of characters were up too... Take a chance.

I would also suggest; Simply Scandalous (Zebra Debut) and Surrender to Sin.

4.0 out of 5 stars It made me laugh and I couldn't stop reading it until I finished it!, May 20, 2008

I thought that the beginning was a bit far fetched, but it had me laughing and I did enjoy the way that the heroine took the hero down a few pegs after he was so pompous. I liked the way that he loosened up and couldn't help but fall in love with the heroine and I liked the fact that the heroine didn't pretend not to like or love him. I thought at the beginning that it did have some flaws, but then I couldn't put it down until I finished it, so I think that over all it was pretty good!
