Lady Astrid Everleigh tries to convince the infamous Duke of Beswick to marry her so she can stave off the horrible man trying to wed her young sister, the same man who ruined her during her debut. Lord Nathaniel Harte wants nothing to do with marriage or society, especially since his return from the war and his horrible scarring has made him, in his mind, unfit for either. But Astrid is a tempting conundrum he can't seem to get out of his mind, or heart.

Absolutely delicious and a fabulous Beauty and the Beast inspired romance, this was the perfect vacation read. Astrid is feminist and fierce and fights for what she believes in. There are absolutely sexy love scenes, especially involving the Beast's swimming pool room AND a chaise lounge. Oh yes.

The story arc did meander a bit and there were a few too many break moments between Nathaniel and Astrid, but overall this was a very fun read and I'll definitely be reading the next book in the series!
