For Winfield Elliott, Viscount Stillwell, finding a prospective bride always seemed easy. Perhaps too easy. With three broken engagements to his name, Win is the subject of endless gossip. Yet his current mission is quite noble: to hire a company to repair his family’s fire-damaged country house.

This book would have had 4 stars and possibly even 5 for me, if the HEA hadn't been so abrupt that I was left with a severe case of WTF?I've been jonsing for a while for an HR that just comes alive with great banter and steam. After a slew of unremarkable reads, I thought I'd found a winner here. I ...
This wasn't a bad book. The overuse of the word "wicked" was highly annoying, though. And I did like that the woman actually compromised.
