Jason, Earl of Coventry and Lady Olivia had a hastily arranged marriage that neither wanted. Olivia because she didn’t want to be saddled with a man telling her what to do and Jason because he didn’t want to be tied down. Because Jason arrives drunk to their wedding then immediately heads back to London, when he decides to just have the marriage annulled he has a slight problem. He can’t remember what she looks like. And since she left the country estate and is currently in London, but not at his townhouse, he needs to find her and fast. Too bad he’s already met her at a ball and just doesn’t realize it. Olivia does and she’s determined to make him pay.
This is a fast, slightly decent read with a sort of unique premise. However, Jason is totally unlikeable. Olivia is a great character (at first), but I loathe him. So this HEA didn’t really sit well with me. I think she could have done a whole lot better. A pretty face and fine body do not make up for an ugly personality. Ok, he may not be that bad to others, but like I said, I despise him. Then Olivia gets the hots for him and all of a sudden, the fact he’s a major douchebag gets a pass. Ugh. Others may like this story, but it wasn’t really for me.
Didn't finish, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I HAAAATED the male protagonist of this work and SUPER hated the fact that the book seems to be turning toward the fact that this entitled arrogant lord is the "hero" of this work??? Really really couldn't stand it.
