My Rating 4.5 stars

Sebastian allows other peoples opinions to dictate his actions and his sense of self. Past hurts, slights and bias give him a warped sense of self-worth. Not bitter but heartbroken none the less, he decides to fight back. It boggles my mind that he would want the one person who was determined to think the worse of him at every turn. No one else's opinion mattered but hers. Katherine didn't deserve him. I learned one thing from Virtuous Scoundrel. "Actions speak louder than words." Sebastian proved he had more class in his little finger than any rich titled peer. He chose to forgive rather than retaliate. I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review.

This story was indeed a romp- with recalcitrant children, a wig-wearing grand-dame of an aunt, a crooked castle, and a runaway pig, not to mention a hero and heroine who have nothing at all in common except their desire to steer clear of one another. As Astrid learns her judgement isn't infallible and Montford learns his perfect life isn't a life at all, they battle well-meaning friends and an evil-minded suitor before finally finding their way together. This book introduced a colorful cast of characters and had some genuine laugh-out-loud moments. I for one enjoyed it enough to seek out others in the series.… (altro)
