Publisher Description
The conclusion of New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James's Essex Sisters series!
Fueled by the knowledge that notoriety is better than failure, witty, unconventional Josie does what no proper young lady should—she challenges fate. She discards her corset and flirts outrageously. She attends the horse races and allows an arrogant rakehell to whisk her behind the stables for a surreptitious kiss . . . and is caught!
She doesn't want to marry the young hellion—but who's to help? Her chaperone keeps disappearing for mysterious appointments; her guardian is on his wedding trip; and his friend the Earl of Mayne is too busy staring into the eyes of his exquisite French fiancÉe.
Can a marriage forced by stuffy convention and unwilling desire become the match of the season?

Thank you for another entertaining story. Your books help fill my sleepless nights and help me forget when pain distracts my days.
Some of your books I have read 2 or 3 times.
Thankful for your talent.

A bit tedious
I love the Essex sisters and the author’s development of these characters throughout the series. However, I found Josie’s obsession with her figure compared to other women, and her self-pity over that, to get quite annoying. The entire book was her claiming how “plump” she was, and her sisters and Mayne trying to convince her she was beautiful. It felt shallow and tiresome.

I was a bit disappointed in this final Essex Sisters book. Really loved Mayne's character throughout the series, and felt he really deserved better than this strange rushed story. Other than one passionate kiss with Josie...he had his eye on the French chick. Believe more time could have spent on them vs Grissie and Darlington.
