I'm starting this book today. I haven't read this book in 15 years, I hope it's still good
I plan to try this one too. Haven't started yet though.
I finished this book. It wasn't as good as I remembered. It was just a cute, light read! There are parts in the plot where you have to "just go with it." but I liked the MC
Jan, I'll be curious what you think of this book

Join us in reading this HR that features the theme Jilted. Happy reading!
The Seduction of an English Scoundrel by Jillian Hunter
Synopsis:
Award-winning author Jillian Hunter pens a delightful romp of passion and tantalizing trickery proving all is fair in matters of love.
It would have been the wedding of the year–had the groom, Sir Nigel Boscastle, bothered to put in an appearance. To the shock of her distinguished guests, the respectable Lady Jane Welsham is left humiliated at the altar. Yet truth be told, although outwardly ruined she is elated to have escaped marriage to a man she does not love.
Enter Grayson Boscastle, the irresistible Marquess of Sedgecroft (and cousin to Nigel). Grayson’s duty is clear: salvage the young lady’s pride and reestablish the family’s good name, while repairing his own tarnished reputation as one of London’s most notorious scoundrels. Their whirlwind affair is the talk of the ton. Yet nothing is as it seems between the bewitching Lady Jane, who knows that her wedding was cleverly sabotaged, and her charming rogue, as they are drawn into an amusing game of seduction and secrets.
