He’s a respectable barrister…
She’s the most scandalous woman in England…
Wilhelmina Hewitt knows she’s in for a rough ride when she agrees to help her husband get at divorce. Nothing, however, prepares her for the regret of meeting Mr. Dale on the eve of her downfall. No other man has ever sent her heart racing as he does. Unfortunately, while she’ll soon be free to engage in a new relationship, no respectable man will have her.
James Dale would never pursue another man’s wife. Or a woman reputed to be a deceitful adulteress. Furious with himself for letting the lovely Mrs. Hewitt charm him, he strives to keep his distance. But when her daughter elopes with his son, they’re forced into a partnership where passion ignites. And James soon wonders if there might be more to the divorcée than meets the eye.

Wilhelmina Hewitt knows she’s in for a rough ride when she agrees to help her husband George get a divorce. Nothing, however, prepares her for the regret of meeting Mr James Dale on the eve of her downfall. No other man has ever sent her heart racing as he does. Unfortunately after the long divorce proceedings she’s utterly ruined. James Dale would never pursue another man’s wife. Or a woman reputed to be a deceitful adulteress. Furious with himself for letting the lovely Mrs. Hewitt charm him, he strives to keep his distance. But when her daughter Cynthia elopes with his son Matthew, they’re forced into a partnership where passion ignites. And James soon wonders if there might be more to the divorcée than meets the eye.
A well written book & I think the first I’ve read to feature a divorce in Regency England, it was very different & some conceptions of mine went out of the window as I believed remarrying wasn’t possible, so Google was heavily used at the start of the book & whilst the three different hearings were explained I would have appreciated an Author’s note about them. I thoroughly enjoyed the book & really liked the two romances. I was routing for the selfless Mina all the way through & loved how she came through all that was thrown at her. I really liked James but had misgivings about him at the start he did redeem himself. I enjoyed their verbal bantering & how the chemistry between them grew from simmering. I was glad the villain got his just desserts. Strong characters & a well paced story kept me engrossed all the way through.
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
