5 stars 
 This was the book that Marrying Winterbourne should have been. Total home run. Swoon-worthy romantic, witty, and satisfying. Kleypas shows us how to write a book that can be gripping without drama and crazy angst. 
 I love how the story begun. Caught together in a bizarre incident that meant Pandora's reputational ruin, both parties went into this feeling trapped by an unwanted situation. Surprisingly it's Gabriel who falls first. 
 Both hero and heroine are easy to fall for, Pandora is fun, unexpected, but also surprisingly vulnerable. So is the smitten Gabriel. I love how we got to explore a more risque love scene where we see Gabriel's willingless to bear himself to his heroine. 
 I also love the moments where Kleypas gave us a glimpse into Lord St Vincent's supportive family. Sebastian is his ever charming self. Kleypas created a truly unique character with him. 
 This book left me with a big smile on my face. This one is going to be hard to top for the year.
