This book was amazing!!! 😍 5 stars. I’m keeping it forever.

The storyline involves a broken Marquess, Oliver, who is ordered by his grandmother to marry before a year passed. The heroine, Maria, crosses paths with him while searching for her missing fiancé. She is from America.

I loved this story so much. First of all, I loved every character in the book. The entire family I enjoyed. I especially love feisty old ladies that the hero has a soft spot for (“Gran”). I truly enjoyed the heroine and am head over heels with the hero. I even enjoyed the heroines cousin 🙂

I loved how you spend so much time in the hero’s head. I would say it’s at least 50% if not more. Going through his emotions and feelings with him made this book all the more dear to me. He struggles with holding everyone at arms length because of his traumatizing past with his parents. He wants to be the devil everyone says he is to protect himself. But those glimpses into his heart and his struggles...wow. My heart just clenched about 1/3 of the way through the book and I swear it didn’t stop until the book was almost done.

I thought this book was sexy! I just checked when the first sex scene was and it’s past 270 pages lol. I swear you will not feel it! There’s tension galore! You want them to be together so bad and when it happens you’re like yessss! The story is mostly about them falling in love, the action and resolution to the problem happens at the very end of the book. I loved that it didn’t take away from watching them fall in love. I was totally absorbed by them. I wanted to put myself in the heroines shoes. He needs her, he wants her, he is all consumed with her and it makes you feel those feelings of falling in love.

I love Oliver. *Sigh*
