I found The Reluctant Countess to be a highly entertaining read that kept me up burning the midnight oil. I fell in love with Patrick and Sophie as well as all of the secondary characters. The story moved at a fast pace, the love scenes were scorching hot, and the romance tender and sweet.
Wendy Vella has hit a home run with the The Reluctant Countess and she has earned a spot on my automatic buy list!
