![]() ![]() The title is so cutesy I nearly gagged – by gad, it rhymes! – and the back cover blurb is incredibly misleading, making the book sound contrived.īut the book is neither generic, nor shallow, nor cutesy. If ever there was a case for ignoring the superficial, this is it. As the weeks go by and Callie embarks on her other activities, Gabriel encounters her so often during her escapades that he finally makes her a proposition: He will squire her if she will shepherd his new found half-sister through her debut. John, the Marquess of Ralston and the man she has loved for years. ![]() ![]() Drawing up a list of forbidden activities is her first step, and being kissed (passionately) is the first item on the list. On the eve of her younger sister’s wedding – a love match – she realizes her perfect reputation is a result of passiveness rather than choice, and decides she needs to change. Lady Calpurnia Hartwell, or Callie for short, has spent a lifetime being a good girl and model lady, but now she regrets it. But underneath this book’s wretched surface, is a touching character-driven romance, and a strong adult romance debut for Sarah MacLean. ![]() I’ll amend that: Never judge a book by its synopsis and title, especially when they reek. You know what they say – never judge a book by its cover. ![]()
