Interesting plot as well as adventurous. Plus, the new Earl of Wyldewood (the great-grandson of Alexander's characters from her book, The Perfect Wife) is stodgy, but has a hilarious fear. Well, I thought it was hilarious, anyway.
This wasn't the most exciting or brilliant story, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Ten years ago a Big Misunderstanding had lovers Olivia, Lady Rathbourne, and Sterling Harrington, the Earl of Wyldwood, parting. She married a man who saw her as a possession and abused her both mentally and physically. He married a perfectly suitable woman who never held his heart and actually soon died. But it's been ten years and her husband has just been murdered (she is not a suspect) so her father is concerned for her welfare even though he is the one who caused the Big Misunderstanding. Sterling, finally realizing that maybe his pride prevented him from marrying the woman of his dreams. Of course, he has to break out of the role of the stuffy earl to help rescue her now, but Olivia doesn't particularly want to be rescued.
Her late husband's will stipulates that she has to complete three of his extensive collections before she can inherit his estate. She needs money to do this so when Sterling tries to come to her aid, she finagles money out of him even if she has to put up with his "helping" presence on her mission.
Enjoyed the book. Wish that her list (a compilation she put together while her husband was alive of all of the things she wanted to do when he was dead) had been more developed than just headers at the front of chapters.
