Married to the Viscount (2003)

Rating: 2/5

Darn. Apparently this is the FIFTH book in a series. How did I manage that?

I think it should be clearly marked somewhere. I mean, most times the back copy of a book tells you what happens in the first 200 pages, but it can’t tell you it’s the FIFTH book in a series.

Okay, so the truth is it doesn’t really matter, but I like to read things in order.

Anyway, this was all right… its quite funny. Maybe it would have been even funnier if I’d read the other four…

Also, can I just say: the cover = bizarre.

Abigail Mercer was breathless with anticipation at being reunited with Spencer Law, whom she met in America and later married by proxy. But now the dashing Viscount Ravenswood denies all knowledge of their union! Too many witnesses have made it impossible for the secretive Spencer to reject his "bride" without causing a scandal, but he has sworn never to marry. So he proposes a marriage in name only until they can locate his mysteriously absent younger brother Nat—who is responsible for everything!—and untangle this messy affair.

Abigail is incensed, irate…and irresistibly attracted to this handsome, infuriating man who hides his smoldering passion behind a proper exterior. So the lady will agree to his terms on one condition: Spencer must seal their bargain with a kiss. But when Spencer agrees, he finds that one deep, lingering, unforgettable kiss isn't nearly enough. And keeping his hands off his pretty wife is going to be much harder than he thought…
