Description

The conclusion of New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James's Essex Sisters series!

Fueled by the knowledge that notoriety is better than failure, witty, unconventional Josie does what no proper young lady should—she challenges fate. She discards her corset and flirts outrageously. She attends the horse races and allows an arrogant rakehell to whisk her behind the stables for a surreptitious kiss . . . and is caught!

She doesn't want to marry the young hellion—but who's to help? Her chaperone keeps disappearing for mysterious appointments; her guardian is on his wedding trip; and his friend the Earl of Mayne is too busy staring into the eyes of his exquisite French fiancÉe.

Can a marriage forced by stuffy convention and unwilling desire become the match of the season?

I was a bit disappointed in this final Essex Sisters book. Really loved Mayne's character throughout the series, and felt he really deserved better than this strange rushed story. Other than one passionate kiss with Josie...he had his eye on the French chick. Believe more time could have spent on them vs Grissie and Darlington.

Thank you for another entertaining story. Your books help fill my sleepless nights and help me forget when pain distracts my days.
Some of your books I have read 2 or 3 times.
Thankful for your talent.

This book is absolutely wonderful to read. At times I wanted to reach through the pages and punch characters in defense of others. Seriously, it is not easy to rile me so. I am so glad to have the opportunity to finish the Essex Sisters series.

Thank you so much for continuing to write books that allow escape from the real world, into places where there are real, true heroes, and love that lasts forever.
