Aug 03, Angelc rated it really liked it Shelves: I love stories in which the main characters knew each other as children and fall in love as adults. That's what drew me to read this sweet story, which I found fast-paced and full of twists and turns. Starting off, Seth Rutledge can't understand why he is so attracted to two completely different women at the same time; Aurora, a glamorous beauty he met at a scandalous soiree, and plain and proper Jane, whom he'd known since childhood.

Jane Guthrie has loved Seth for as long as she can remember a I love stories in which the main characters knew each other as children and fall in love as adults. Jane Guthrie has loved Seth for as long as she can remember and will do anything for just one night with him, even assume a secret identity. The double identity story at the beginning of the book is so fun and I love Jane's outrageous friends who help her carry off her charade. The charade comes across as very believable, especially the way that Seth finally realizes the truth. There are many other obstacles to Seth and Jane's love, including the fact that Seth was once in love with Jane's sister!

Madeline was a money-hungry vixen, who broke Seth's heart as a young man. This closed him off to love again, while Jane endured the pain of watching the man she loved fall in love with her sister. When Madeline returns to stir things up, I would have loved to see Jordan take things even further and have Madeline provide even more conflict. Another thing holding Seth back is that his sister, Julianne, is blind because of an accident Seth feels responsible for.

Julianne is a delightful character and her mini-romance in the book is very sweet without distracting from the main plot. This is a great read, I flew through the first pages in one sitting. The heroine is sweet and strong at the same time, and the hero is kind and honorable, if a little stuffy and arrogant at times. I would recommend this story to any historical romance fan in the mood for a fun, light read that will keep you turning the pages! View all 13 comments. Jan 17, Feminista rated it did not like it Shelves: The characters were horrible!

The heroine had no self-respect.

The hero was a spineless coward whose attention span when it came to women was very limited. Infatuated by others while he was with the heroine, once was Madeline and the other was Aurora yes Aurora was Jane and Jane was Aurora, but the matter of fact is, he did not know that. Hero sleeps with heroine as Aurora and then makes her out to be a tramp when he finds out Aurora and Jane are one and the same.

Really, what a sad excuse for The characters were horrible! Really, what a sad excuse for a human being. Like he didn't sleep with Aurora. If he has such a holier-than-thou attitude, then why did he sleep with Aurora in the first place. The hero thinks to himself that he will take mistresses while he is married to Jane. And when Jane says she will do the same, he gets all like possessive. Was that meant to be attractive? Will have to think twice before I pick up another Sophie Jordan book. Feb 06, kris rated it it was ok. Lady Jane Guthrie sneaks out to spend one night free of her in-laws.

Except she runs into Seth Rutledge, the boy who got away. And then they get married. The latter Lady Jane Guthrie sneaks out to spend one night free of her in-laws. I literally could not believe that was how this drumfire chose to end because it was so abrupt and nonsensical. Part of my frustration was because the early chapters were actually super engaging and interesting.

Jane, Lady Guthrie has been in love with Seth Ruthledge since she was 16 years old. However, Seth a s Holy Moly However, Seth a second son fell for Jane's sister, Madeline. He was desperately in love with Madeline, but his heart was broken when Madeline decided to marry an elderly Duke over the second son of an Earl. Eight years go by and Jane is now a widow.

She lives under the watchful eyes of her brother and sister in law and is treated like a servant in a house where she used to be the lady of the house. Her marriage was not a happy one, and she has been in mourning for over a year and a half. They are too happy having her as servant to allow her to re-join the ton. Seth, has returned from years abroad fighting the war. He's embittered by his experiences. His heart hardened by the time away, the lost of his older brother, and the sting of Madeline's rejection that still burns his heart. He does not believe in love and has promised to never surrender control of his feelings to another woman.

However, now he's the Earl. He needs a wife and an heir and someone to take care of his blind sister, Julianne, in the event that something happens to him. This is where things get interesting. Jane decides to escape to a ball with the help of her friends in an act of defiance against her brother in law--who may I add is a CREEP. She ends up in Madam Fleur's ball. Madam Fleur is a famous courtesan and her balls are known for being risque almost orgies if you ask me. There she encounters Seth who does not recognize his childhood friend in her new dress and with her face masked There's a sizzling attraction between the two that intrigues Seth and scares Jane.

Let me just summarize the attraction between these two: These were adults, jaded with life and love, who learn to dream again. This book is not for wusses. However, let me tell you the angst is worth it. Jul 30, VioletPetal rated it it was ok Shelves: This one was a really disappointing book. In the beggining actually it was until almost at the end the book was quite good.
