A swoon worthy romance read! I really loved reading this book and had so much fun with the plot. The story revolves around Declan Shaw, a mercenary turned body guard out of prison, and Lady Helena Lark, trying desperately to get out of an arranged marriage her parents set up. The chemistry between the two characters was amazing and I loved how fierce and determined Helena was in her goals to just be free and live her apple farmer life. Helena has tried everything for the past five years, including running away, and pretending to be mad in order to get out of her arranged marriage and nothing seems to be working. Her final option is to find another potential duchess to convince the Duke to fall in love with in order to free herself from him. Declan is hired as the personal groom to Helena, all the while he is supposed to make sure she makes it down the aisle with the Duke. If he fails, he will be sent back to prison and lose the payday that will help his family, the only problem? Helena is more than he could have ever imagined and she’s completely captivated him. I loved the story and I loved the characters, I highly recommend this book for all romance lovers! It’s fun, sweet, and just down right romantic as heck!
