This is the first book that I have read by Ella Matthews and I must say that I am very impressed by whatI read. This book was very good with its witty characters and interesting plot lines. I almost wished it had been a little longer so I could have gotten more time but oh well I was still happy otherwise. It is your classic trope of two childhood foes who end up havi g to marry to avoid scandal and eventually everything works out in the end.
In the beginning we are introduced to Freddie who has returned home to help oversee the upbringing of his orphaned neice. It is during this time that he runs into his old childhood foe and neighbor Emily who still despises him despite the length of time that has passed. The whole situation confuses him because no other women have resisted him charms before.
Emily however has her own problems. Her mother insists that she marries but with four failed seasons the prospects are very low. When reintroduced to her old foe Freddie the two end up in a compromising position and afterwards to avoid scandal end up having to marry. But in the end it is worth it because they come to care for each other.
I received an arc copy from Netgalley and all opinions are of my own.
