At Almacks, Benedict, the Duke of Danforth, knew he had to start looking for a Duchess. But as he turned to the door, "At the sight of her, Benedict's breath stopped in his throat. Surely this was the answers to his prayers, for the young lady was a goddess. He thought himself far too sensible to believe in love at first sight!" paraphrased from the first chapter. Well that set the tone and I was enchanted! But all is not well as the two become engaged but in the end she breaks it off. Three months have passed and next we find the beauty, Abigail and her mother, have broken down in their carraige and are rescued and taken to a nearby home where there is a house party being held. She found that Lord Danford was there and was apprehensive in seeing him, but was determined to hold her head up! When Benedict sees her, the adventure begins to win her back! What happened to begin with and could it be righted? I love these two characters, although he had a lot to learn and so does she about him. With a cast of characters and a page turning story, I could not wait to find out what happen! A truly delightful read that will keep you enthralled unti the end. But I have to say I cannot wait to read more by this author!!
