Unfortunate misunderstandings ended Lady Helen and Winterborne's engagement in [b:Cold-Hearted Rake|24431358|Cold-Hearted Rake (The Ravenels, #1)|Lisa Kleypas|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1431563998l/24431358._SY75_.jpg|43110668], but these are quickly resolved at the beginning of this sequel. However, different parties are so upset at Winterborne for these misunderstandings that it isn't enough to resume the engagement. Thus Helen agrees to let Winterborne "ruin" her to ensure the engagement, this being the plan of action because Helen does not want to elope. Of course, various other circumstances arise to threaten their marriage.

I had a lot of fun with this book - especially the Welsh nationalism.

Listened to the audiobook - which was perfection. Mary Jane Wells nails the character voices and the emotions. A lovely listen.
