sassysmutlover's review against another edition
5.0
This one was at the top of my TBR list and it didn't disappoint! That tiny little accident set off a chain of events that changed their thoughts about each other. I loved everything about it from beginning to end especially when they realized they loved each other and the scenes with the Duke.
Hope is an adventures girl that has broken my heart since she lost her love. The sparkle left her eyes and she has changed to a sad quite girl and says she doesn't care about her future. That all changed when she met Thad. I loved how adventures she is and that when she loves someone she will do anything to save them.
Thad is the opposite of his late cousin, but there is still some adventure in him. He comes off a bit uptight at first, but really isn't. I loved how he called her a menace but found himself drawn to her and then protecting her before realizing why.
The wedding is one of the best ones!

Lady Hope Post is one of a set of triplets. She’s the one who seems to be attracted to trouble. She likes to drive fast and fall in love with inappropriate men. She had been in love with Henry – Earl of Kilworth but Henry dies unexpectedly. Now, she just met the new Earl of Kilworth, his cousin Thad Baxter, who might be dashing but is hardly a devil. The meeting might have gone better if it hadn’t happened after she had careened into his phaeton while driving her cousin’s phaeton.
Thad is someone she could never be attracted to – so of course they are drawn to each other. She thinks he’s trying to blackmail her while he is actually courting her. Things come to a head when Thad overhears a conversation about Hope that leads to the threat of a duel. The thought of something happening to Thad is enough to put aside all thoughts of Henry and let Hope see what a truly worthy man is like.
I read this book when it was originally published in one of the When the Duke Comes to Town collections. This is a fast and fun read and a sweet little story. It holds up as an enjoyable read the second time around.
