Oh. I really wanted to like this book. When I read the excerpt of the Gavin looking the ballroom over and being ready to choose his duchess, I was very excited. And then... he turned into such a douche. And he wasn't even the main character. Instead, his decades-missing twin brother turns up and swipes the girl that Gavin had just set his eyes on. Literally, hasn't even met her (though Jack has)and thinks that he's going to
lurv her forevs. Even after this book though, I'm still ready to find out what happens with Gavin and Sarah, Charlotte's aunt.
Anyway, Jack is astonished to see the young woman who had pick pocketed his friend at the duke's ball. And the more time they spend together, the more he wants to be closer to her. Like, a LOT closer. This book is wrought with more drama than most Maxwells.
As I mentioned, I didn't love this book but I did like the first in the series am still looking forward to the next one.
Two and a half stars
