This is the third book by Ashley March that I read and I have to say, I enjoyed the other books more than this one. The story was well told and well written, but I was bothered by what I consider to be the omission of a glaring fact. Philip, the duke, married Charlotte, his duchess, as revenge against her brother Ethan, who eloped with Joanna, the woman to whom the duke was engaged. Within days of marrying Charlotte, Philip took up again with his mistress and pretty much left Charlotte alone. Charlotte, hurt by Philips actions, left him and began to live it up in high stylein other words, trying to create every sort of scandal she could think of to force the duke to divorce her. In spite of the rumors of Charlottes multiple lovers, he didnt divorce her.

Suddenly, after three years of living apart, Philip kidnaps Charlotte and takes her to his estate. His intent is to try and win her back and have a true marriage with her. This is where I think a major fact was omitted. Nowhere does the author tell us why he suddenly decided he wanted her back; why it took him three years to come to his decision. Its just left hanging out there.apart for 3 years now he wants to resume the marriage. Of course Charlotte doesnt want to. She still feels betrayed by his actions so soon after their marriage.

Without telling anymore of the story, they do, eventually, reach their HEA. Overall, I did enjoy this story and look forward to reading more by this author.
