Determined to escape her stepmother's household, Miranda Rembert prayed that her arranged marriage to Lord Huntsley was not a mistake--though in her heart she thought it might be. Once Miranda arrived at Lord Huntsley's home, though, it seemed possible that her outrageous ways and daring schemes might thaw the icy formality that had kept the couple at arm's length since their vows.

The book itself isn’t memorable, but I must say I like the writing style more than the plot execution. With that being said, the style reminded me of Judith Mcnaught. The heroines are as sweet as feisty as they come. Extremely innocent, sometimes full of mischief followed by some TSTL moments; however this heroine took it by far, proving extremely clueless in “that” department leading up to some humorous situations. And, of course, leading up to a long separation filled of endless misunderstandings…Therefore, it took the MCs here forever to consummate & due to her innocence, that long-awaited moment ended up being more mechanical-like than of a grand passion in my opinion.
In fact, (unlike JM’s characters) the MCs here lack a passionate relationship. Both seems lukewarm? Nothing too intense, their chemistry never scorching through the roof. Simply, with the endless problematic stuff going on & a lack of intimacy/tenderness not permitted it didn’t create the right atmosphere we needed for them. I was also very distracted with the villain duke plot devise, taking a big part of the misunderstandings til the very end. It was tedious, I think the hero & heroine deserves way better than this. But again, the writing is decent. I would check the author’s other work.

Much cleaner, but a little preposterous. Can a delicate country girl really be this clueless?

Cute little romance about a plucky heroine and her sex-besotted husband in a marriage of convenience.
