Dulcie feels like a fat, lonely loser for attending the London season for the fourth time hoping to catch a man. The sad thing is that her family is against her worrying that she will never marry and enjoy a family of her own. She’s been made a fool before by a man who said he loved her, and she’s not sure if she’ll be able to face the season alone again. That was until her best friend, Jackson Cornell, makes his feelings known. Her body tells her that it wants Jack but her heart cannot go through another scandal and the humiliation again. Can she trust Jack with her heart?

Jackson Cornell is a man who knows what he wants, and he’s waited long enough already for Dulcie to look at him. He’s wanted her since he can remember but never made a move because at the time she was still young. Now he’s ready but Dulcie has been burned, and this time he must do everything he can to prove to Dulcie that his love for her is real. Can he make her see that they belong to one another or will they both live out their lives lonely?

I just loved this story and recommend it which is odd for me since it’s a historical romance. I fell in love with Dulcie for here is a young woman who wants what every woman wants a man to love her. This is hard for her when it’s her fourth season and new women are competing for the affections of the men. Another character I loved was Jack, talk about a persistent man. He is a man who is not only sexy but will stop at nothing until Dulcie is in his life and his love forever. From the first chapter, you can tell these two belong together and when they are watch out because you will fall in love with these characters, even Dulcie’s overprotective brothers. S.J. Ronayne did such a beautiful job in this historical romance that I hope there’s more of this family for Dulcie and Jack are truly soul mates and their love is shown throughout the book.
