So, of course, after hanging out with the adorable Olympia on a comically prolonged road trip, he secretly falls in love with her and she, naturally, secretly falls right back in love with him. Fortunately, Hugh (Ashmont's best friend) sees her tipsy take-off and chases after her to save the day. However, on the day of the wedding, Olympia imbibes a bit too much brandy, decides the thought of spending the rest of her life with a grown man who has the self-control of a drunk toddler isn't for her, hurls herself out a window, and goes full-on Runaway Bride.

In her family's defense, he really seems to think Olympia is amazing. So Olympia gets pressured by her well-meaning (but broke) family into accepting the offer of marriage from Ashmont, a Duke with a bad reputation as a drunken idiot, best known for ridiculous pranks. Because I'm badass like that and don't bother with pesky things like the correct order.Īnd since this is a romance, you can get away with that and not affect the enjoyment level of the individual stories much, if any at all. I really liked this one, but not quite as much as I did the 2nd book in the series Ten Things I Hate About the Duke, which I actually read 1st.
