It was a relief of sorts to discover that her first attempt at romance writing was so abysmal! A writer can change and grow over her career, as her later Bridgerton novels clearly demonstrate. This is a frothy little romp, a light and entertaining read, but by no means Quinn's finest work. The fact that it is a debut novel shows: there is an airy enthusiasm to the work, but it is unpolished. Still, Alex and Emma are compelling enough to make a reader interested in their story, even if their characters are not as developed as in her later novels. An unusual, spirited redheaded American heiress, Emma, takes the London season by storm, including the handsome bachelor duke, Alexander Ridgley. The snare in their love is him considering her a gold digger, even though she’s an heiress. The characters are witty, but not nearly as fun as the Bridgerton books… American shipping heiress Emma Dunster is pleased enough with moving through London's high society, but never more so than when she attracts the attention of gorgeous Alexander Ridgely, the Duke of Ashbourne. Very sweet, gently funny. An all around good read. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

American heiress Emma Dunster has always been fun-loving and independent with no wish to settle into marriage. She plans to enjoy her Season in London in more conventional ways than husband-hunting. But this time Emma's high-jinks lead her into dangerous temptation...
Alexander Ridgely, the Duke of Ashbourne, is a notorious rake who carefully avoids the risk of love...until he plants one reckless kiss on the sensuous lips of this high-spirited innocent...and condemns himself to delicious torment. Little does he know that his passion has touched the very soul of the lovely enchantress...and committed them both to a lifetime of splendid ecstasy.

Snabblänkar |
Emma Dunster, in London for a season, is determined to return to Boston to run her father's shipping company. But Emma's British cousins are just as determined to see her settle in England.
Sparks— and laughter — fly when all these terribly determined people cross paths during one very splendid London spring.
I absolutely loved this book. It made me laugh out loud several times, and it's so full of humor and a dash of adventure. It's just the right mix of romance, humor and adventure. Definitely recommended! (
