He's jaded and terrified to love again. Katherine is getting pressure from her insufferable mother to marry a cousin who is next in line to inherit a title. This cousin is purported to be awful. Katherine hatches a plan to appeal to Jasper's love of logic to get him to marry her. They marry despite Katherine's mother not wanting her to marry the "Mad Duke". He whisks her off to his castle where he refuses to have visitors or celebrate Christmas. He also tries and then fails to enforce an in-name-only marriage. Katherine decides she can't live with the man she loves when he doesn't love her. She returns to London. Jasper eventually follows to tell her he loves her and they reunite. (Jasper and Katherine also share a love of poetry.) I have loved historical romances since I was 13 when I picked up my very first book. But no book has moved me, made me cry or made me laugh as much as this book. I can honestly say that Christi Caldwell has fast become one of my favorite authors. This is a story of two hurt people. Katherine was hurt but her fathers drinking and gambling and her mothers indifference towards her. Jasper is hurt by his now dead, selfish and callous parents and the death of his wife. One fateful act bring these two together, but can they survive together, or with the past destroy everything before it can start. As I said before, this book is wonderful, beautifully written, the plot it seamless and you really just get caught up in the magic of the book. I love Jasper and Katherine’s characters, they are not perfect, which I find refreshing. I also love Anne and Guilford, hopefully they get their own books too sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

It might be that it just suited my mood, but it made my heart ache at times. Lovely romantic story (I do love my men dark and broody....) ( )
