I just love Julie Quinn’s books they have it all adventure, love and a happy ending what more could a girl ask for. This book is so cute.

There's little to speak for in this Quinn. It's not her worst work, but it's far from her best. The characters lack depth, the "smart" woman lead is often belittled, the man lead's major problem doesn't hold up to scrutiny, and the plot is overwrought. I'd skip this one.

Lady Arabella Blydon takes a break from the Marriage Mart when her latest suitor magnamimously anounces that he's willing to overlook her bluesstocking tendencies. She doesn't expect to meet Lord John Blackwood, who has earned his Baronetcy through his military career, a career that left him wounded both in body and mind. He doesn't want to marry or to be attracted to Arabella but he's finding that his deterimation is being eroded by her.
It was a good read with characters I genuinely cared for (including her Chaperons Persepone who does deserve her own story) and while the adctneures were sometimes a bit over the top it was still fun and the story pulled me in and kept me reading.

Just alright. Couple fell in love too fast which takes a lot away from the excitement.
