Another great historical romance from Lisa Kleypas. The book starts with Lady Helen coming to see Rhys Winterbourne, department store magnate and her ex-fiance (through a misunderstanding). Helen is determined to marry Rhys, attracted to his vitality and magnetism which is the complete opposite of her own personality. They manage to work things out thought other obstacles turn up in the course of the book. 
 Rhys is a wonderful character: blunt, earthy, yet madly in love with Helen. It would have been easy for the author to make Rhys one of those men who want the lady for her title and a way up in the world, but Rhys loves her right from the start. Helen is shy but determined. Some reviewers complained about the inconsistency in her personality, but I found her a true introvert. She's able to assert herself when it matters to her. 
 I do agree with some of the other reviews that the twins are an annoyance. If they were thirteen, I might have found their behavior appropriate, but they were very immature for age twenty. Still, I've preordered Pandora's story (the next book in the series).
