My Rating ~ 2 bites and a nibble
Jason, Earl of Coventry
and Lady Olivia had a hastily arranged marriage that neither wanted. Olivia
because she didn’t want to be saddled with a man telling her what to do and
Jason because he didn’t want to be tied down. Because Jason arrives drunk to
their wedding then immediately heads back to London, when he decides to just
have the marriage annulled he has a slight problem. He can’t remember what she
looks like. And since she left the country estate and is currently in London,
but not at his townhouse, he needs to find her and fast. Too bad he’s already
met her at a ball and just doesn’t realize it. Olivia does and she’s determined
to make him pay.
This is a fast, slightly
decent read with a sort of unique premise. However, Jason is totally
unlikeable. Olivia is a great character (at first), but I loathe him. So this HEA
didn’t really sit well with me. I think she could have done a whole lot better.
A pretty face and fine body do not make up for an ugly personality. Ok, he may
not be that bad to others, but like I said, I despise him. Then Olivia gets the
hots for him and all of a sudden, the fact he’s a major douchebag gets a pass.
Ugh. Others may like this story, but it wasn’t really for me.
