Synopsis
The beautiful Miss Zoe Armstrong is rich, spoiled, impulsive and desperately illegitimate. Though Zoe burns bright as the most vibrant diamonds, all the money in the world won't buy her what she secretly desires, to be loved for who she is. But when a night of passion leads to Zoe's betrothal to her distant cousin, her perfect world is turned upside down and shattered before her very eyes. Lord Robert Rowland has been Zoe's partner in crime since childhood. When he sees his cousin in tears at a ball, what else can he do but console her by doing what Robin always does best. But a rogue's chivalry can have unexpected consequences, not the least of which is the loss of his one true love. Suddenly, Zoe finds herself on the verge of marrying a broken man and the only solace she can find is in the arms of Lord Robert's older brother, the stern and powerful Marquess of Mercer.

Reviews
I usually enjoy Liz Carlyle's books and have liked this series. I was really looking forward to Zoe's book because she seemed like so much fun in the past books, and I was sure there'd be some complex side to her that we could pick apart. It started off good with insight to how people treated her during her childhood, but never really went anywhere from there. I felt like I was reading the same thing over and over and over for about 350 pages - Zoe crying, Mercer thinking, Zoe crying, Mercer thinking, Zoe crying, Robin being a jerk. On and on it went but nothing really happened. The story ended well and exactly as I thought it would so it wasn't a total loss. Overall, a big disappointment for a character that I had a lot of hopes for. I'll continue to read this series if there's more to it, but I hope that the next story is a little better.
I thought this book was Fun. The characters are interesting and so is the plot. I really enjoyed it.
