This is really hard for me because I love Elizabeth Hoyt but I just hated reading this book. 
 I got to page 278 and I was like just fucking do it already... (yes I mean that do it). 
 My rating a 2.5. 
 I know, I know, can you say someone who actually is ok reading love scenes. I just felt like this book dragged and it didn't really I mean a lot happens a lot goes wrong, and the writing isn't horrible. I just think it wasn't the book for me and I was pushing myself to finish reading this book. 
 So Eve Dinwoody is the Duke of Montgomery's sister who has been left in charge of the finances at Harte's Folly. However, Harte's Folly is run by Mr. Harte, aka Asa Makepeace. He's your typically brooding, not really handsome but attractive nonetheless. The two meet and embark on a journey to get Harte's Folly up and running but then a series of things go wrong and a mysterious man shows up who may or may not have something to do with Eve's past. 
 Honestly, I was 278 pages in and I thought the mysterious man raped Eve. Not what happened. (SPOILERS though so I won't say more on that) 
 I would definitely recommend this book to someone who doesn't like sex scenes in books because there is only like 1 or 2 in 278 pages and not actually sex, oral sex. 
 Update: I finished this book for real or July 12 and I have to say that the declaration of love scene was pretty darn good. However, it's at the end of a book where I wasn't really rooting for the hero and heroine.
