Publisher Description
Hugh Prentice has never had patience for dramatic females, and if Lady Sarah Pleinsworth has ever been acquainted with the words shy or retiring, she's long since tossed them out the window. Besides, a reckless duel has left this brilliant mathematician with a ruined leg, and now he could never court a woman like Sarah, much less dream of marrying her.
Sarah has never forgiven Hugh for the duel he fought that nearly destroyed her family. But even if she could find a way to forgive him, it wouldn't matter. She doesn't care that his leg is less than perfect, it's his personality she can't abide. But forced to spend a week in close company they discover that first impressions are not always reliable. And when one kiss leads to two, three, and four, the mathematician may lose count, and the lady may, for the first time, find herself speechless . . .
New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn's enchanting third novel in the Smythe-Smith quartet is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud and tug at your heartstrings in equal measures.

I love it but…
I love this book so much, but it almost feels like Julia Quinn forgot to set up the climax. Sarah had every right to react the way she did, but why she was actually upset was a bit confusing. Then they both seemed to forget that the other person clearly loved them or at least cared a great deal for the other. How the conflict was resolved seemed very anticlimactic, once Sarah has a child won’t Ramsgate just kill Daniel? They mention how he is a man of his word, but the closest they got to setting that up was him agreeing not to kill Daniel because if he did Hugh would kill himself. Also Ramsgate is possibly one of if not the worst person in all of Julia Quinn’s books, and all he gets is a punch in the face and a few threats? Then after the climax the characters were basically in the same place they were a couple of chapters beforehand. Overall, I loved this book, the climax just annoyed me a little.
