Publisher's Summary

The fairy tale courtship did not turn into a happily-ever-after....

Not until her husband dropped dead, that is. He had been horrible enough to Christiana during their short marriage, and she was not going to allow the traditional period of mourning to ruin her sisters' debuts as well. So she decides to put him on ice and go on as if nothing's happened....

Until the real earl appears. Richard Fairgrave had every intention of confronting his villainous twin who had robbed him of his name and title - only to discover that he had died. Quietly assuming his identity, Richard must now deal with a maddening desire for his ravishing inherited "wife" - certainly a gold digger and possibly a murderess. And Christiana must deal with an unwanted new "husband"... and they both must figure out what to do before the ice melts!

I Couldn't finish this book, it was akin

This is not the usual LS storyline folks, I found this one to be full of immature nitwit females and doltish males.
I think the narrator tried just a little too hard and overcompensated in what I found to be screeching tones... If I heard the name 'Dicky' in that juvenile high-pitched tone of voice one more time, I feel I would have drop-kicked my earbuds off the local jetty. I don't think the sex scenes were meant to be so cringe-worthy with the narrator getting louder and louder as she read on, but that is how I found it to be. (i am sure she was having a bad day with the text she was narrating, and heck, I can only imagine that narrating is not as easy as one would think!)
I get that the storyline was meant to be amusing, but it just got more and more ridiculous in my humble opinion. I understand that quite a few people really enjoyed it, so apologies if I have offended anyone who did. :oD
As a writer, Lynsay Sand's work is amazing with really amusing storylines that I have enjoyed and laughed out loud with, and I have huge amounts of her work both written and audio, so this story has come as a real shock
