Description
On the untimely demise of her parents, Miss Cassandra Whitney endures abject poverty raising her siblings. She faces further torment as her landlord, the odious Baron Scudder, threatens her with eviction if she refuses to assent to his offer of marriage to her younger sister Belle. As Cassandra fights to save her family, she inherits a title, an estate and a ruin of a castle.
News of Casandra’s inheritance travels fast, reaching the highest circles in the ton. The Dowager Duchess of Taunton immediately sees her as a worthy match for her son Maximillian the 6th Duke of Taunton a renowned rakehell. The dowager also plans to take control over the castle which would be a prestigious venue for her many balls and hunting weekends. However, neither Cassandra nor Maximillian have any desire to wed.
Both did not anticipate the manipulative powers of the dowager who slyly arranges a meeting between them.
On seeing Cassandra, Max is suitably impressed with her wit and ironic humour. Already tiring of one of his mistresses, she would be a welcome replacement. Although charmed with his handsome looks and seductive overtures, Cassandra puts him firmly in his place.
Can Cassandra resist the devilish overtures of the Duke and the devious ploys of the dowager?

This is Cassie and Max's story. She inherits a castle and an estate. Max's mother wants to be involved with the running of the castle. There is many twists and turns. There is a villain but Max saves the day. It was very fast moving. I truly enjoyed it.

I received an advance review copy of this book. Loved the story. Max and Cassie are determined they will not get married but in the end love wins out. There is danger, intrigue and rescue in this book. It is well written and keeps your attention. It is interesting and makes you want to finish the book. I would highly recommend this book.

Enjoyable book but hard to believe a man with 3 mistresses at one time will be committed in the long run. I did not get the feeling that his love was that deep although he protected her and helped her sister.I would have preferred a little more restraint on his side and more soul searching. Of course Cassie was a paragon and selfless. The love making parts were hard to interpret in how their bodies were positioned. Thanks for the fun story.

A good summer read.
Follows the pattern of romantic stories.Predictable in the long run the hot undercurrents, hard to get female the man truimps in the end.

I am giving an honest review in exchange for this ARC. Some parts of this story were quite good. Some parts were a bit underwhelming. There were times when I found the characters conversations just a little too odd. I think it must have been the language used. In some areas it was salacious and in others, in my opinion, it was slow and lacklustre.
