review 1: Clean historical romance about a scarred and damaged French lord that is going back to France after fixing his past and getting closer to his English half-brother, but instead finds love by accident. Miss Kat Thistlewait is used to taking care of her twin brother sincer they were little children so when it is her time to find a husband in her second London season, her brother makes even more mistakes which she runs to fix, but actually gets her self into a bad situation that can only be fixed by getting engaged to Comte Jules Devereaux. So they travel to France and back to England like it is modern times when it should have taken months to make that trip comfortably in the time of horse and buggies. I liked Kat and her craziness is explained by her crazy family and friends... more which makes sense that she would fall in love with a complicated by honorable man like Jules. Shortish story that was well written but nothing original.156 pages and kindle freebie2 stars
review 2: This was a cute little story to pass the time, I guess but I don't think I'd ever read it again or any of the other books in the series. Why? It's forgettable. The story had so much potential, but I really disliked the author's writing. The ending seemed rushed and a lot could have being either taken out because of redundancy and descriptions to provide imagery were poor and seemed rushed also. Due to this flaw of being stingy with descriptions or details, a lot of events ( ie: being attacked by hired thieves out of nowhere) seemed very spontaneous without a gradual buildup of suspense. I found that very off putting, and made me almost feel like I was running around with my head cut off looking for a reason to the sudden shift in scene. The heroine was likeable, but there was a section in the book where the silent argument could have been avoided if both parties actually communicated, just saying. less
