I also found the romance somewhat lacking. Thenie is unhappy with the suitor she has, and to discourage him, she implies she has kissed someone else. He responds by trashing her reputation. Thenie didn't think ahead to realize that her actions could affect her younger sisters' chances at a good marriage. Enter Spencer, a friend of her cousin Lottie, and her husband Grey.
Spencer is an antiquities hunter in Athens, dealing with the fallout from unscrupulous hunters like Lord Elgin. When his friends Lottie and Grey show up and ask him to return to England with them, he agrees.
Lottie and Grey clearly intend for Spencer to be Thenie's rescuer, but they neglect to fill her in on their plan. Spencer, who has a reputation as a rake, immediately gets on her wrong side with his overly charming ways and flirtatiousness. As a student of antiquities herself, she isn't sure what side of responsible hunting he falls on and doesn't bother to ask.
But Thenie can't avoid Spencer's company, and the more time she spends around him, the more her antagonism turns to attraction. Spencer's method of using a series of "truth or dare" questions is an interesting way of getting to know her. However, Thenie is strangely uncooperative, choosing dares instead of answering simple questions. I liked that Spencer was persistent, as he had already realized that Thenie was the one for him. But it seemed to take forever for her to realize that she loved him.
