Och, well played, Your Grace.

Don't be such a baby, Jack. It's only marriage. You'd have to do it eventually.

Oy. This will not end well for you, Conner.

He's showing up to his intended bride's house hungover? Idiot man. Oh, and now there's a half-naked woman with him.

He's definitely not got a problem with self-confidence.

That is so not a romantic adventure.

Well, even if the squire is apparently an idiot and a mama's boy, it's worth it to see him show up Conner.

The war is on!

Ha! I love the Greek chorus that is his shipmates.

Stop talking, man!

Lance wants to mold her into his perfect woman. Yick.

It's like she grew up in a family of gypsies, but with better job security.

Thea would make a great mother.

Jane and Lance sound like hypochondriacs.

So basically, Lance wants a broodmare/slave, who will also be a companion to his mother and chaperone his sisters. And you wonder why he is marrying someone after knowing her for three weeks.

Lance wanted to get married so he could travel? That's kind of sad.

Well, at least Alice has proved capable, if annoying as hell.

Turned on by boots. That's a new one.

Now Lance grows some balls? I'm thinking someone's in love with Jane.

Why Alice, you little thief!

She went to his house when he wasn't there? Why?

She sounds like a real estate agent. Hopefully actual agents haven't bored anyone to sleep!

She'd be bored with an easy man. Look at Lance.

Loved this book. Such a great couple how they keep trying to fight what is between them. Was a little long and drawn out but I loved it.
