Lady Sarah Pleinsworth wants nothing to do with Lord Hugh Prentice. She blames him for the duel that banished her cousin to France and the scandal that followed. Though her cousin is back and once again friends with Hugh, she has not forgiven him. But when her best friend asks Sarah to sit with Hugh at her wedding, how can she say no? Hugh believes Sarah to be a Drama Queen. But as he gets to know her, Hugh is drawn to Sarah. Yet he feels that this woman would never forgive him for the duel that ruined so many lives.

I love a good "enemies to lovers" theme. There is always great banter between the hero and the heroine. I liked Hugh. He did not fit into society well. He is the kind of guy who was not good at small talk, but very good at verbal sparring. Sarah was a little hard to take sometimes, coming off as selfish. But after her sister pointed it out, she seemed to try to change for the better.

I was let down by the last quarter of the story. The hero and heroine know what they want, but his father gets in the way. I thought the resolution was absurd which brought my rating down. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
