Kate Westbrook has dreams far bigger than romance. Love won't get her into London's most consequential parties, nor prevent her sisters from being snubbed and looked down upon - all because their besotted father unadvisedly married an actress. But a noble husband for Kate would deliver a future most suited to the granddaughter of an earl.

Armed with ingenuity, breathtaking beauty, and the help of an idle aunt with connections, Kate is poised to make her dreams come true. Unfortunately, a familiar face - albeit a maddeningly handsome one - appears bent on upsetting her scheme.

Implored by Kate's worried father to fend off the rogues eager to exploit his daughter's charms, Nick Blackshear has set aside the torch he's carried for Kate in order to do right by his friend. Anyway, she made it quite clear that his feelings were not returned - though policing her won't abate Nick's desire.

Reckless passion leads to love's awakening, but time is running out. Kate must see for herself that the charms of high society are nothing compared to the infinite sweet pleasures demanded by the heart.

To my mind, Cecilia Grant is the closest a contemporary writer has come to Austen - her use of the unstable Austen-esque 3rd person narrator (from the perspective of both the heroine and hero) is wonderful and exposes the youthful arrogance of both lead characters. Some readers seem to have found issue with the fact that the heroine is stunningly beautiful and is aware of her beauty, but isn’t that refreshing?! I loathe the tired trope of women being beautiful yet completely oblivious to their charms - I’ve never met a beautiful person who wasn’t aware they were attractive in some way! In fact, self-awareness and awareness of society is a strong theme in this book and I really enjoyed the pragmatic approach it took to romance - also Blackshear the tall, dark, handsome and brooding barrister was pretty hot! Loved this and wish Ms Grant would write some more!!

Austen-esque with realistic spice!
