The Scandal Sheets call him Lord Ice. Ruthless, cold, precise, Julian Spenser, Marquess Dryden, tolerates only the finest— in clothes, in horseflesh, in mistresses. And now he’s found the perfect bride, the one whose dowry will restore his family’s shattered legacy and bring him peace at last: the exquisite heiress Lisbeth Redmond. She's about to play with fire... But one unforgettable encounter with Lisbeth’s paid companion, Phoebe Vale, and the Marquess is undone. This quiet girl with the wicked smile and a wit to match is the first person to see through the icy faÇade to the fiery man beneath. But their irresistible attraction is a torment as sweet as it is dangerous, for surrendering to their desire could mean losing everything else they ever wanted.

Good solid historical romance. It sounds like I'm talking about a horse for a minute. No real big surprises. Nothing made me tear up. But the story was good, the couple was enjoyable, the romance was entertaining, so good solid historical romance.
I adored the first half of this book. The second half wasn't quite as good, but overall I really liked it. I haven't read any others in this series, but this one stood well enough on its own.
Over the course of these past few years, I've been slowly making my way through the Pennyroyal Green series by Julie Anne Long. I have a very hot and cold relationship with this series.
