"Lady Celia Sharpe has always been wary of marriage… but now her future depends on it. With two months left to find a husband, Celia sets her sights on three eligible bachelors. Becoming betrothed to one of these men will surely prove her capable of getting married, so hopefully the wedding itself won’t be necessary for Celia to receive her inheritance. Step two of her plan is hiring the dangerously compelling Bow Street Runner, Jackson Pinter, to investigate the three men she’s chosen.

With Lady Celia bedeviling Jackson’s days and nights, the last thing he wants is to help her find a husband. And when she recalls shadowed memories that lead his investigation into her parents’ mysterious deaths in a new direction, Jackson realizes the only man he wants Celia to marry is himself!"

This is the final volume in the author's "Hellions of Halstead Hall" series. I got this book from my local library book swap, and haven't read the other volumes. This works well as a stand alone story, but I believe the main characters are involved in the previous events as well.

I quite enjoyed the first half of the book and the couple's love/hate relationship, but thought there was a bit too much going on to wrap up the series in the latter half.

I read this book on a holiday, so I'm planning on leaving it at the hotel. I'll probably leave it in front of the Club 3000 office - hopefully the book will end up in their bookshelf if it isn't picked up.

Thanks for picking up this book! I hope you will enjoy it. Once you've read the book, you can leave it for someone else to find, pass it onto a friend, or if you'd rather keep it - feel free to do so!
