“A scintillating and sensual read…In addition to the powerful social commentary on women’s roles in society and the life of youth in London’s poverty-ridden back alleys and schools, Chase’s tongue-in-cheek tone captures tender and humorous nuances in character descriptions and actions, creating fully realized characters and a rich plot.” - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
The tinge of mystery…along with the sharp repartee, laugh-out-loud humor, and steamy sexual tension-make this a stand-out read.” - RT Book Reviews (4½ stars, Top Pick!) The unconventional hero and the independent heroine are the type of characters modern-day readers gravitate toward. “An intelligent, witty, sexy romance with two well-matched characters. I'd read more Amanda Quick with these characters." I liked their working relationship as well as their romance. When she got her and Tobias thrown out of the house party on the first night I couldn't stop laughing. "This Amanda Quick book was filled with romance, mystery and humor. Can the ton's most adored heiress and London's most difficult bachelor fall victim to their own unruly desires? It's an inconvenient marriage by ordinary standards, but these two are far from ordinary. But Clara overwhelms even his infallible logic, and when wedlock looms, all he can do is try not to lose his head over her. Though he's unexpectedly found himself in line to inherit a dukedom, Radford's never been part of fashionable society, and the blonde beauty, though not entirely bereft of brains, isn't part of his plans.
When a child is in trouble, she turns to tall, dark, and annoying barrister Oliver Radford. Desperate to be something more than ornamental, she escapes to her favorite charity. Biweekly marriage proposals from men who can't see beyond her (admittedly breathtaking) looks are starting to get on Lady Clara Fairfax's nerves.
