Sigh, I can honestly say Sebastian was the first hero in a while to really touch my heart 😀 And despite what anyone else might say, VIRGIN HEROES ARE HOT! There’s something about that innocence in a hero, who is usually mean to be the Eros of sex, that is such a turn-on! 😉

The joy came in seeing those layers peeled back to slowly reveal the kind, dependable, caring, and surprisingly strong man underneath.

😉 Underneath all that aloofness was a shy and misunderstood man who had all the gems in place to be the man of Diana’a (and our’s) dreams. The result? A resounding success! I was immediately taken by Sebastian from page one when he falls for our heroine after glimpsing her pink silk stockings. I was so excited to see how Miranda turned this unlikable man into a bona fide romance hero of every girl’s dreams! I love Miranda Neville’s books and after reading The Wild Marquis and getting a sneak peek at the hero of the next book, I just KNEW I had to pick this one up ASAP! I have such a soft spot for the innocent or unique hero and Sebastian with his woman hating ways was perfect. Should the lady follow her heart in an attempt to win Iverley’s, though it seems hardened against her-or should she sacrifice her love for respectability? But Diana is “the marrying kind,” and Sebastian has no wish to risk his freedom-though the passion between them is hard to resist. But when he arrives at his hated cousin Blakeney’s house party, Sebastian is smitten by the tantalizing Diana. Sebastian wants absolutely nothing to do with love or marriage. and her well-laid plans tumble into disarray. But then she’s kissed by the brilliant and unconventional Sebastian, Viscount Iverley. She knows a proper marriage is her one chance to make her way in the world-which is precisely why she will marry Lord Blakeney, though she’s certain she’ll never love him. Lady Diana Fanshawe’s impeccable bloodline doesn’t stop society from laughing at the antics of her eccentric family.
