Summary
A Classic Sweet Regency Romance
A wicked wager!
Rich, handsome, and fashionably jaded, Jason, Lord Radford, knows he must marry to get an heir, but assumes that any well bred young lady will do, so he offers for Caroline Hanscombe, whose name he draws at random. Caroline is pressured by her family to accept, but shy and musical, she finds her new fiancé alarming. Will this be a match made in heaven or hell? Or might Caroline quietly find herself a man who suits her better?
Mary Jo Putney's first book, The Diabolical Baron was a RITA finalist and won the Romantic Times awards for Best New Regency Novel and Best New Regency Author, and the NJRW Golden Leaf Award for best historical romance.

Delightful
This was just lovely. Both heroes were attractive and great characters - in such different ways -and the heroines too. One longed for the right ending,and getting there was lovely. Brilliantly read too. Highly recommend to all Regency romance lovers.

A delightful romance
I suspected and hoped how this story would finish, even though I did not go to the end to check. This was an excellent romance with no gratuitous sex, Excellent narration a truly happy ending

Enjoyable
Were it not for mawkish sentimentality, I might have awarded 5 stars. The narrator did a good job
