Plot: Jacqueline Walters is in a library searching for a book when Gideon Wolfe, an Earl, mistakes her for a woman he was meeting for a lovers tryst. When they are caught together by other members of the ton, Gideon panics and tells them that he and Jacqueline are engaged. Jack's furious because she never wanted to get married but after it's leaked that their engagement isn't real, Jack and Gideon are forced to get married the following morning. At first, their marriage isn't great fun because they disagree about everything and Gideon seems set on insulting Jack's honor even though *he* is the rake.

I've read quite a handful of historical fiction novels over the past couple of years but this book is my favorite by far. I love Jack, she's got a great character and personality that you can't help but love. There were a couple of times that Gideon got on my nerves but that's what the author intended so it wasn't really upsetting. Jack's love for her weapons was a very unique passion for any woman (even for current times) so I really enjoyed such a refreshing personality that I'd never read before.

I started the sequel yesterday, "Athena's Ordeal" and while I'm not as in love with it as I am with "Trials of Artemis," it's still a good read as well ( )

Fun, sensually romantic historical romance. London writes with the kind of voice that makes me hear the characters in my head. Loved it. ( )
