This is the second book in the series and followsDiana ( Lady Templeton) and Jeremy (Marquess of Willingham). They have known each other since childhood and are constantly bickering with one another. Diana wagers to Jeremy that he'll be wed in a year. After a scathing review from a mistress, Jeremy proposes a sexual liaison with Diana to get his confidence back up. So this is another exaggerated trope with a regency romance. I'm not sure if you saw my review of the first book in the series To Have and to Hoax,but I wasn't super impressed. In fact, it made me reluctant to pick this up. But, I have to admit that this one was so much better. This succeeded where the first book failed, And it had to be because of the characters forceful personalities. This book was hilarious with its utter ridiculousness and the Character's' Shenanigans. Yes, it was super predictable. But that didn't really bother me, this time around. Diana and Jeremy worked together as characters and as a couple. This book has piqued my interest about the third book that's due out in April.
