Summary from Goodreads

She's an American heiress. He's a devilish earl. When these two collide, the sparks ignite a shocking scandal in USA Today bestselling author Laura Lee Guhrke's unforgettable Victorian-era romance.

Linnet Holland wants nothing to do with fortune hunters. No, she’s determined to marry a man who loves her. But just as she’s about to accept the perfect marriage proposal from the man she wants, the rakish Earl of Featherstone interrupts and ruins everything, including her reputation, with his smoldering kiss.

Jack Featherstone knows all about Linnet’s “intended”, and he’s determined she won’t fall prey to that villain as other women have in the past. But when his attempt to save Linnet ruins her instead, he knows he has to make things right. So he sets out to win this golden beauty . . . and prove to her that being ruined by him was the best thing that could have happened to her.

Let me start out by saying when I got this book in the mail, I was so giddy and excited. I never read Laura Lee Guhrke, but I have heard some wonderful things about her, and of course I been craving some historical romance after a very tough week.

Linnet Holland is an American Heiress who has had a very tough luck with love. After being targeted by a British Fortune Hunter, the last thing Linnet wants is to marry a British peer. When a man she has fancied previously suddenly is in the middle of delivering the perfect marriage proposal, nothing could take the moment away from Linnet until Earl of Featherstone not only interrupts the proposal but also manages to ruin everything, including Linnet's reputation. Now she must marry and quickly, Earl of Featherstone is willing to make things right, but she has no plans to marry the man that ruined her.

Great story! I really enjoyed this one. I couldn't help but feel bad for Linnet and everything she went through. I understood where she stood as far as her choice of not wanting to marry a man she knew nothing about but had suddenly sent her life into a tail spin. I was a little puzzled by her choice to go back to London and marry a British peer regardless, especially since it seemed like her choices were pretty slim and could only end with just another Fortune Hunter on her arms.

I really liked Jack Featherstone, his intentions no matter how bad were actually meant to be good. He was trying to save Linnet from a terrible life and even thought he was unable to tell her why, as a reader knowing why, could not help but agree. His actions thought drastic, were kind of amusing.

I liked the chemistry between these two, especially Jack trying to pursue Linnet in London and trying to prove that they could actually be good together. Several scenes made me giggle, I thought the writing was really well done and very entertaining. Guhrke really made me enjoy the story and I was able to get lost in the book for hours. The characters were easy to like and the plot was wildly charming!
