This book was okay, unfortunately there was nothing unique in it. The plot was stereotypical, the historical norms were ignored quite a bit, one slightly evil ow and om. The only redeeming feature in this book was Finn and his buddies. Finn is a pretty amazing guy and it shows both by the affection his household has for him as well as his friends teasing and banter. Lily is just blah, so naive and kind of stupid. When a duke offers for you and you are pregnant with someone else's child and know that one of your options to survive will be on your back out in the streets, you cannot be questioning the offer!!

When Lily is abandoned at an inn by a man she had eloped with, she doesn't know what to do. The man had stolen her virtue as well as her money and jewels. Finn can't seem to ignore Lily's plight. He invites her home to stay with him until she can decide what to do. When they start to have feelings for each other, they decide to make things more permanent. This is a new-to-*me author and a new series. I look forward to reading more of her work. I received an ARC from NetGalley and Dragonblade Publishing for my honest review.
