Emily Rutherford is having a very bad day.

Of course, having the man you’ve loved forever announce his engagement to your (now very former) best friend will do that.

Emily is sure nothing good could possibly come out of this horrid situation. But she lets her sisters—along with Francis Riley, the delectable but brooding Earl of Dunhurst—convince her that a season in London will be just the thing.

Now Emily has a choice: sulk in a corner while her sisters enjoy the glitter of the ton . . . or become the belle of the ball, dazzling everyone on an earl’s arm. But as Francis helps Emily get back on her feet, she quickly realizes that a childhood crush is nothing compared to the power of true love.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"It's a laugh out loud story with a butterfly emerging out of her cocoon heroine and a scowling hero with a secret. Throw in a clueless ex-bff potential suitor and you've got a wonderful debut." - Romancing Rakes

"I absolutely adored it! So so so gooood! Emily and Francis make such a sweet couple! The interactions between them were intense and the dialogue was clever" - Reading Romances

About the Author

Born in Denmark, Sophie Barnes spent her youth traveling with her parents to wonderful places all around the world. She's lived in five different countries, on three different continents, and speaks Danish, English, French, Spanish, and Romanian. But, most impressive of all, she's been married to the same man three times—in three different countries and in three different dresses.

When she's not busy dreaming up her next romance novel, Sophie enjoys spending time with her family, swimming, cooking, gardening, watching romantic comedies and, of course, reading.

Juvenile

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I bought this book after reading and loving another of this author's books so I was extremely surprised by the writing. The style seemed juvenile and the characters were like children also. Huge leaps of logic were everywhere. One example was when the h thought that the H must be a nice person after all because he almost smiled. I couldn't finish the book.

Good story. Serious errors in historical context

Good story. Serious errors in historical context. Mentioning a work by Tchaikovsky thirty years before he is even born. Speaking of turning on lights and chiming doorbells. This was Regency era Britain.

Readers Like Me Won't Enjoy

November 5, 2012

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I'm not sure what I've just read. To be fair to the author, this is NOT my style of book (for which she can take no blame - writing books is hard and hers is rather popular. She deserves all props in that respect).
I feel that my sentiments have lined up with the more negative comments, though there are positive ones too, so this will be right up some alleys.

This book, to me, was misleading. I sort of agree with other posts about the characters being flippant, and I think that Emily made choices that defied all logic (especially when it came to Francis). I thought this was going to be primarily a love story, so when the *spoiler* romance started 20% of the way in, I wondered what the heck this book was about. I think it's a love story, but I'm a little unsure as to the point of the book.

*SPOILERS TO FOLLOW*

I think I'm most upset by two things: Wrong Facts and Blatant sex.
Now, if you like books who are hot and heavy (and historically inaccurate) than this will be right up your alley. While Francis and Emily wait until their wedding night to go all the way (as is expected in the time period), she CERTAINLY allows him many liberties up until then. Many.
There was no warning that this was coming my way. One minute Francis had kissed her for the first time...the next he has her breasts exposed and they're almost caught doing the nasty.
I mean...really. I was thrown.
I didn't feel Emily was believable. I didn't care for her and I was put off by many of her actions.

The attention to detail disappointed me too. As a major fan of Regency type material, I was utterly disappointed to see things that wouldn't have been in that day - things that easily could have been researched. And another reviewer was right - whenever there was a problem, people were shocked! And then totally okay with it.
GASP! Our houses are connected?! Well...okay.
GASP! You kissed me even though I hate you? ...Yes, please begin to undress me right before my sisters return home. How sweet, he wants to keep my virginity intact for propriety's sake...but only before I tell him I've read the Kamasutra and could please him immeasurably.

*END SPOILERS*

Again, this is all my opinion. This book has good reviews too, so certain readers like it. But if you're interested in Jane Austen, JB Lynn, or Shanna Swendson intellectual and funny type romances, I would pass this by.

Interesting, but needs more life breathed into the characters.

February 15, 2012

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

To be brief, too much description and not enough life. There were so many opportunities for humor, empathy, kindred ship, stirring of passions, etc...that were, sadly, missed due (what one could only assume was) to the process of describing the unnecessary. I felt overwhelmed with the authors knowledge of the era, and less akin to the characters personally. Too much disclosure all at once, and nary a moment to connect with the characters, who sometimes weren't all that likable and a tad self important at times. Try as I might to relate, I was unable, and I found myself skipping pages looking for something "interesting" to pull me back into he story.

Love historical romances. I'm not too concern if they are accurate or not as they relate to their time period. What bothers me are the characters and story line.Read more
