Decisions, Decisions...
The story sets up the beginning of ROMANCING THE COUNTESS. At the beginning of this story, Cecily finds out her best friend, Angela, had died in a carriage accident while running away with her lover.
Lady Cecily Bishop must choose between the sinfully delicious Baron Sedgwick who pulls her in deeper with every kiss, every touch OR the mysterious August, the suitor who her father had signed her over to two years ago to cover an investment. Cecily's inner turmoil had me sitting on the edge of my couch (literally) wondering whether she would give in to Sedgwick, after he proposes to her OR be the good girl and do as her parents wish. Oh Cecily. What a dilemma.
Baron Sedgwick has been wooing and teaching Cecily the art of carnal pleasures, up to a point of course. She must remain intact *whispers--down there* for her future, faceless husband. He realizes that he has fallen for this woman and gives her a choice of marrying him, to complete the seduction OR follow through with the marriage to The Other Man. I found it endearing that he called her kitten.
Throughout this story, I crossed my fingers and hoped Cecily would choose Sedgwick. Well, being the good daughter, she lets Sedgwick go and heads towards the altar with the unknown suitor, soon to be husband. Dun dun dun!
Once again, Ms. March has captivated me. She had me laughing, sighing, wishing and egging on Sedgwick and Cecily towards a HEA despite that mysterious August, and in only 15,000 words. That is an amazing feat for an author to convey so much emotion and some sexiness going on, in a novella. Ms. March, I am very much looking forward to reading ROMANCING THE COUNTESS. You have set up the story beautifully.
