E-BOOK EDITION

A London heiress with a tart tongue. A country steward too busy for marriage. A dare like a kiss—surprising and dangerous.

Lady Georgiana Hunt, the ton’s tartest heiress, loves cake and London but hates fortune hunters. Unfortunately, they love her. Or her money. They swarm like gnats until an unlikely partnership with her friend’s brother-in-law sends them scattering. A fake courtship with the smoldering Josiah Evens, who is rarely in London, frees her from unwanted suitors without stealing her independence. But with no more suitors to fend off and an absentee fake betrothed, independence feels rather … lonely.

Josiah Evans, the ton’s most cheerful steward, loves cake and the country and has no time to marry. He’s too busy bringing the life and joy missing since his mother’s death back to his father’s estate. But he can’t resist a lady in need, especially the haughty and bold Lady Georgiana. He can find time to punch a fortune hunter or two during his infrequent trips to London if it makes her smile. And if that smile makes him wish for life outside of work, he’ll… ignore it.

When a dare brings Georgian where she swore to never tread—a Christmas house party in the country—she must dodge mud and merry making. And help Josiah fend off a devilishly daring debutante with marriage on her mind. Two dares, uncountable kisses, and one snowed in midnight later, these independent opposites face a greater problem—falling in love.

Charming!

Another lovely story by the talented Charlie Lane! The novella is filled with charm and romance and kept me captivated all the way through. Georgiana is an heiress and loves her independence and the thing she hates most is fortune hunters. In an effort to keep them at bay, she forms an unlikely partnership with her friend's brother-in-law, Josiah. Josiah is rarely in London and a fake courtship with him is the perfect solution to keep the fortune hunters away and also keep her independence. Josiah has no time to marry and is too busy managing his father's estates. He has no problem lending a helping hand to the lovely Georgiana when he finds himself back in London. Both are set on their own paths in life, however, they begin to realize it's a very lonely journey. What started out as a unique friendship and an effort to help each other turned into something so much more.
I absolutely loved the story of Josiah and Georgiana. They had such wonderful chemistry which was evident in the witty banter between them which was an absolute delight to read. A truly lovely addition to the Dare series!
I received a complimentary copy from Wolf Publishing and am voluntarily leaving my review.

Short and steamy quick read. The characters are the brother and the bff of the couple from Daring Done Right. Dares are still flying and I absolutely loved this book. I read it straight through.

Enjoyable

This is a nice story about a Heiress, Lady Georgiana who is tired of fortune hunters. She meets her best friends brother in law who together they decide to fake a courtship to keep fortune hunters away and to keep the ladies away from Joshiah. Joshiah decides he wants to get out of London and take care of the family lands, Georgiana loves London. How they will deal with each other and still respect what each one wants is the enjoyable part of this story.
I received an ARC of this book, and I am leaving my honest review.

Cake Lover's Delight

Josiah and Georgiana are at the Christmas at his brother’s country estate. To deter fortune hunters and determined ladies, they agree to pretend to be courting. They had no intention to actually become a couple, but walks, talks, and the joy of eating cake eventually lead them in just that direction. Cute story, daring kisses!
