Thanks to the mischievous meddling of his matchmaking sister, Ashton Wilde meets a damsel in distress during the midnight magic of a lavish ball. But Maura Collyer isn’t looking for a prince—or an intimate pairing with any member of the scandalous noble Wilde family.
Intrigued by Maura’s beauty and daring, Ash is determined to aid in the rescue of her beloved stallion, gambled away by her wicked stepmother to an evil viscount. As their adventure becomes rife with peril and passion, Ash suspects he’s found his heart’s desire.
Even though her dearest friend may be her self-proclaimed fairy godmother, Maura is mortified at being pushed into a romance with a notorious rake such as Ash. Dashing and charming, he comes to Maura’s rescue just in time to help her steal back her precious horse. As they flee across the countryside, she can’t resist his sweet seduction. But is her prince playing a role in a fairy tale to test an improbable theory, or is the love awakening in her heart proof of her own happily ever after?

Personal Review:
I found this book very enjoyable! I thought it had a good story line, and developed characters really well for future books in the series. Some reviewers on bn.com and amazon.com have said that the story is unbelievable. Well, yeah, it's fiction. Fiction is whatever you want it to be. This book had some intrigue, a lot of romance, a little sex (nothing too graphic!), and a whole lot of stubborn in Maura, the lead female, character. I enjoyed reading the love story between Ash and Maura, and I'm very excited to read Jack's story next!
Overall Personal Rating:
**** 4 Stars
Medium Sexiness (nothing too graphic)
