This book zoomed by. It was so short and everything happened so quickly. I wasn't expecting that. But it was a fun, quick read. Not quite instalove, but pretty close. Jocelyn went to Sebastian, the Duke, and claimed his brother had compromised her, made promises to marry her, then left. She demanded the Duke make his brother marry her. But it was too late. The brother had already married. Jocelyn the demands the Duke marry her instead. And much to her surprise, he agrees. He has his own reasons for needing a wife and figure Jocelyn would fit the bill. So the two marry. At this point, the book is almost over. Jocelyn quickly falls for her new husband, but conflict arises when she wants to reach out to his mother, a source of much tragedy in his past. Sebastian has to figure out how to deal with his past without losing his wife. With everything happening so quickly, there's not much time for the drama to fester and pretty soon, our couple is getting their HEA. A very fast, drama light read with a grumpy hero and a head strong and determined heroine.
