Meh. I didn’t read the back cover before starting this but I guess it clearly states the heroine, Kathryn, forces the hero, Lucien, into marriage. Not a fan of that, I must say.

Katherine is under her evil uncles care, who basically locks her away in an insane asylum and wastes away her fortune. She escapes and happens across the hero’s carriage and stows away. He finds her and thus they meet and get to know each other.

She traps him into marriage by planning to seduce him, although her feelings are (somewhat) genuine and writes a note beforehand to secure an audience.
Did not like this! I get that it’s a part of this plot but I just felt so bad for the hero.

Also random side romance plot about the hero’s aging aunt that I could well do without. Enjoyed her character in the book but really dislike split romances.

Then as it keeps going, it seems like they are falling in love and dumb miscommunication enters the plot. She says she still wants an annulment (she doesn’t) so he gets upset and annoyed that she has no feelings for him. So instead of telling her how he feels he MUST impregnable her! I’m all for a good impregnating 😆, don’t get me wrong but just TALK TO EACH OTHER!!!

They end up thwarting her uncle and live happily ever after. Not a horrendous book but not one I loved
