Él es el hombre perfecto, un modelo de conducta para todos. Ella, una viuda con una reputación injustamente escandalosa.
Benedict Carsington, heredero del conde de Hargate, es el perfecto aristócrata inglés. Alto, moreno y atractivo, todos le conocen por su vida irreprochable, sus modales impecables y su elevado sentido del deber. Se atiene a todas las normas y jamás pierde el control... hasta que encuentra a Bathsheba Wingate. Bathsheba pertenece a la rama descarriada de la familia DeLucey. Su fama de embusteros, timadores y estafadores la ha perseguido siempre. Cuando se casó, la adinerada familia de su marido los desheredó. Ahora que se ha quedado viuda, está decidida a ofrecer a su hija una vida correcta y estable, sin dar pie a que nadie hable de ella... hasta que conoce a Benedict.

I enjoyed this one quite a bit. Roadtrip romances are a fun little adventure. The ending does seem to start in with setting up future books rather than properly focusing on the wrap up of this one, but, it wasn't too bad. ( )

Rarely do I ever have the problem of coming up with something to say about a book. I can usually find some wonderful or horrible things to comment on. There was simply nothing for me to comment on in this book; I just could not get into the story! Benedict and Bathsheba go from Inn to Inn chasing after Peregrine and Olivia while trying to keep from being drawn to each other and anyone finding out who Benedict is.
 
There were some witty lines thrown in during conversations between Benedict and Bathsheba but that is the only aspect of this story I can think of to recommend. I never felt this couple connecting, even though I read over and over how they were drawn to each other; no chemistry there in my opinion.
 
The middle bulk of the book was so "eh" for me it was dangerously close to being boring. This story was not only missing something for me it was missing a whole lot of somethings. Benedict and Bathsheba never did it for me. I would have much rather read about Peregrine and Olivia, two kids! I demand that Loretta Chase write their story, I Need to read it! Olivia and Peregrine have the chemistry I thought Benedict and Bathsheba lacked. The ending of the story with the treasure was an unexpected twist and captured my attention again.
 
Meeting the characters of Peregrine and Olivia and the ending of this book saved it from being a total failure and falling into the echelon of books where a week later I couldn't tell a thing about what happened in the story.
 
I really wish there was more I could say about this book but there just isn't. Sadly wanting Peregrine and Olivia to get their own story is the only thing I took away from this book.

Loved this book. It's a keeper. ( )

Usually I don't like romances with children playing a large role, but this is one of the very few exceptions. Again, a book full of great humor, witty conversations, and wonderful characters. I fully believe in the relationship between Batsheba and Benedict, and how they interact with the children. And this is also one of the few 'road regencies' I've read. ( )
