In fact, I’m not sure how the bed would still be standing with that many notches, but he is willing to settle down, at least in name only, in order to set up a comfy future for himself. Sebastian is proud of how many notches he has compiled on his bedpost. Fortunately, she knows a desperate rake who will overlook her stutter and shyness in favor of marrying her for her fortune. She decides that the only escape from these horrible people is to elope so that her new husband can protect her. The Story– Evie has some seriously screwed up relatives who are keeping her from her dying father and like to beat her every now and then for fun. Yep, it’s that good, and if you enjoy historical romance, I almost suggest that you dispense with reading the rest of this review and just go get this book. But, I simply couldn’t NOT review this book in case someone who hasn’t found Lisa Kleypas yet happens to come across my humble website or review. I assume that most of my friends and the casual romance reader are like I was, so if you are a romance fan who follows every new release and knows all the names in the biz, I apologize if this review is rehashing what you already know.

Other than that, I skipped around between a wide variety of books whose covers and descriptions appealed to me. I followed recommendations of friends and always bought the newest Nora Roberts. While I have been a romance fan for about 25 years, until recently I hadn’t actively sought out new authors.
