Married to the Viscount (Swanlea Spinsters, #5)
Sabrina Jeffries
Original cover edition here The dashing Viscount proposes a marriage in name only...in New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Sabrina Jeffries' sexy historical romance... Abigail Mercer was thrilled at being reunited with Spencer Law, whom she met once and later married by proxy. But now Viscount Ravenswood denies all knowledge of their union! Too many witnesses have made it impossible for the secretive Spencer to reject his bride without causing a scandal. So he has proposed a marriage in name only until they can locate his mysteriously absent younger brother—who is responsible for everything!—and untangle this messy affair. Abigail is incensed, irate...and irresistibly attracted to this handsome, infuriating man who hides his smoldering passion behind a proper exterior. So the lady will agree to his terms on one condition: Spencer must seal their bargain with a kiss. But he finds that one deep, lingering, unforgettable kiss isn't nearly enough. And keeping his hands off his pretty wife is going to be much harder than he thought.

0Spencer’s (Viscount Ravenswood) brother has decided to play matchmaker and marries an American, Abby, on behalf of Spencer. (Marriage by proxy seems a little dangerous!) When Abby shows up on Spencer’s doorstep, his brother is nowhere to be found. Spencer decides that the best way to handle the situation is to pretend the marriage is real until he can find his brother and sort things out. Spencer has decided to never marry, because he believes he is sterile. Abby wants nothing more than to be married to Spencer, so she decides to become the perfect English lady.
This was another book where I felt the heroine deserved SO MUCH BETTER. Spencer repeatedly tells Abby he has no plans to remain married to her. Abby feels like (and I totally understood why she felt this way) that this was due to her not being good enough for Spencer. She takes it upon herself to become the best version of an English woman to prove to Spencer she could be the wife she thinks he wants. She really should have just told Spencer to shove it! He was an ass on more than one occasion and there is nothing he could have done to make me think he was good enough for Abby. I love Sabrina Jeffries, but this one just wasn’t for me!
