アデリーンは父に言われるままにポールと婚約した。ハンサムだけど二十歳も年上の彼とは話も合わないが、平穏で裕福な結婚生活を送れるにちがいない。ある日、二人がポールの女友達の屋敷に招待されたとき、ポールとその女性が密通しているのをアデリーンは目撃する。彼を心から愛しているわけではないけれど、私を欺いて、二人の愛の巣にまで連れてくるなんて……。明日の朝、一人でこの屋敷を出て、もう彼のもとには戻らないわ。そう決心したアデリーンは、屋敷で一夜だけ過ごすことにするが、夜中にふと目覚め、隣に見知らぬ男性が忍び込んできたのに気づく。

Qualcuno dovrebbe spiegarmi una cosa: siamo nel XIX secolo, durante il periodo della Reggenza Inglese. Una fanciulla promessa a un uomo di vent’anni più vecchio di lei e che non ama vuole solo fare felice il padre e l’aspetto dell’amore e del buon sesso passionale non le interessa per niente. Durante la notte trascorsa a casa di amici un uomo si infila ubriaco nel suo letto e lei, invece di fuggire a gambe levate, che fa? Si alza, si spoglia e si rimette a letto. I due si strusciano un po’, poi le intenzioni del buontempone si fanno più ardite e lei vorrebbe fermarlo, ma non ce la fa. E alla fine, dopo che ha perso la verginità in questa insulsa e stupida maniera, che fa? Si stupisce per le sensazioni sublimi che lo sconosciuto le ha fatto provare e si riaddormenta! E questo in sole 33 pagine… mi sembra pura follia.

This book was a very pleasant surprise. I did not expect the depth of the story. I'm not saying it's some great work of litchrachuh, but it is a lot more than I've grown to expect from the genre. I love that the female lead has a chance to grow and experience life. I love that she has choices and takes them. I love the depth of the subplots. While I do highly recommend the story, it's not the lightest of romances (at least, compared to a number of my previous choices!). It can get a little dense at times, but I found the payoff to be worth it.

Betrothed to an older man whom she has no desire for, Adeline is resigned to doing her father's bidding. A scandal changes everything.

Grant Leighton was more milquetoast than I expected the hero to be, but who cares. The characters get their HEA of course.
