Review by: Charissa Stastny on March 17, 2013 :
Fun, quick regency romance. Lady Grace and The Duke of Greys have known each other since they were children. As they blossom into adults, they continue to tease and trade witty barbs, but try to shun the intense attraction they feel in each other’s presence. When another suitor begins to pursue Grace, she is captivated by the attention, and Greys is insanely jealous. Can he leave behind his life of being a cad to pursue the woman he truly loves and treat her as she deserves to be treated?

Review by: Alisa Hancock on March 08, 2013 :
Lady Grace Hashiver told a lie when she was 8 years old. A lie that led to Ewan Emmett, the future Duke of Greys, being punished. He has never let her forget it.

Ten years later she is a beauty and he never lets a chance go by to tease her. What he doesn't know is that even though she doesn't simper and coo around him like other ladies do, her heart still flutters whenever she is with him.

So it's a great relief to her when she meets Spencer Raleigh, Earl of Shiply who shows an interest in her and treats her well -- without making her all fluttery. As soon as Shiply starts paying Grace attention, Ewan - to his own astonishment - discovers that he is jealous!

Grace's father is out of town so Lady Jarvais (Grace's mother) helps Ewan's cause along by entrusting him to be sure Grace is safe from "unsavory characters." Ewan decides that Shiply isn't going to court Grace without some competition.

Ewan's cause seems hopeless until he meets the beautiful Miss Rachel Jacobsen, who is interested in Shiply. With the help of his butler, Grace's mother, and Rachel, Ewan is able to win Grace's trust...
