The Seduction of the Crimson Rose by Lauren Willig

3.0

3 stars

My original 3 star rating still stands. Mary and Vaughn redeem themselves as anti-heroes, but still not my favorite couple. It also "felt" like the romance was too sudden, but this could have been because I dragged out the reading over a week.
