About this eBook

No other woman compares…


Six years ago, Athena Townsbridge broke up a wedding. This worked out well for her brother and the lady he loved, but Athena has never forgiven herself for what it did to Robert Carlisle. No one has seen him since he fled the church in humiliation, so when she learns of his estate’s proximity to the property she is staying at during a family visit, she sets out, determined to make amends.

When Robert, Marquess of Darlington, is reunited with Athena, she’s no longer the troublesome girl he remembers, but rather a fully grown woman. Trapped with her when a blizzard sets in, he rediscovers her playful side, the laughter and joy she can bring to his life. But it is her willful nature that tempts him, both with the need to tame her and with the dream of making her his.

It's Athena's HEA. Athena is the youngest Townsbridge sibling and the most brash of all. 6 yrs ago, she had stopped Robert Langdon'swedding to Bethany (now married to Athena'sbrother Charles). Charles and Robert were best friends till then. This story is her apology to Robert and subsequent marriage to him. The plot is extremely simple,I personally prefer more complex story and characters. I liked Athena-she is honest and straightforward and unapologetically lives by her own terms. Robert's proposal is super fantastic. This is a simple sweet novella just right for the season. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Six years ago, fourteen-year-old Athena Townsbridge humiliated Robert Carlisle when she stopped his wedding and announced the bride and her brother were in love. Robert is now the Marquess of Darlington and living near her family’s estate. This means social contact may be unavoidable, so Athena decides to try to apologize and make amends for the pain she caused. Athena is and always has been a hoyden. She is the last person he wants to see, but here she is, in his parlor, unchaperoned. To make matters worse, a snowstorm strands her at his home. The visit is quite contentious at the start, but as they spend time together waiting for the storm to abate, Robert realizes that he likes Athena, a lot. What is he to do now? Has Fate thrown them together? How will he face her family? An Unexpected Temptation is a quick, cute read with wonderful characters from the whole series. It is full of fun, surprises, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Athena and Robert’s story is the perfect finale for this wonderful series about a happy family. I enjoyed and recommend it. I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. My review is voluntary.
