English historical fiction romance
This is the love story of Duke Lysander and Lady Georgina. Lysander is a horribly emotionally scarred man that is haunted by his past. Georgina is a lady about to marry a man that turns out to be a scoundrel. She is literally having insomnia about getting married and runs into her maid Dottie. Dottie's story lets Georgina know that she can not marry him. He is so cruel to Georgina that she jilts him at the altar. She's running from ruining her life and falls into the lake in Hyde Park. Lysander sees Georgina fall into the lake and fail around like she can't swim. He dives in to save her. A crowd has formed around when Lysander pulls a drowning Georgina from the lake and that start blaming duke Lysander for her running away from marrying the Lord. Lysander makes an instant decision to offer Georgina his hand in marriage to save her reputation from scandal. What an illustrious start to their relationship. And the road just gets rocky from that point. At least Georgina has 4 sisters that are already married and Lysander has his best friend Lord Thomas to lean on.
This story has a lot of mystery and a ton of emotional baggage in the twists and turns of their storyline. The characters are wonderfully interesting and will keep you guessing what they will do next. Also we cannot forget Georgina's parrot named Mr. Skwacksby who adds a lot of colorful language and levity to Lysander and his household .
Its a wonderful book and an easy read. I enjoyed it very much.

This is an interesting story with two main characters who have personal issues that needed to be resolved, but first they marry to avoid a scandal. Lady Georgina is literally running from a wedding that she wants no part of, is not looking and falls into a lake. The bad news is, she doesn't know how to swim. The good news, Duke Lysander is near the lake, sees what has happened and jumps in to save Georgina thus the scandal. There are a few graphic sex scenes. The one thing this story brings out to me is that no one can make you happy, you have to decide to be happy yourself.

This was a great book, but too much graphic content. I loved the plot and the parrot was a hoot! The characters are well written and the plot was excellent.
The Prequel and the Epilogue did not work.
That is very frustrating!
