Title: The Highlander's Accidental Marriage (Marriage Mart Mayhem, #6)
 

She never intended to take a husband...

Scotland, 1817

The Duke of Manchester's sister, Lady Sarah Lacey, always abides by the rules of etiquette. Fate, however, has no such confines. On a journey to the Scottish Highlands, Lady Sarah is set upon by misfortune-leaving her without carriage or chaperone, and left to the mercy of a kind and handsome gentleman. Whom (in order to secure a room at an inn) she announces is her husband.

When she proclaims they're married in public, Professor Braeden McKinnon can't bring himself to correct the lovely Lady Sarah. After all, her reputation would be ruined. Nor can he tell her that her proclamation is not only legally binding in Scotland, but sharing a room is considered to be an act of consummation...

Now they are bound together until death do they part-even if Sarah has no intention of becoming any man's wife.

Title: The Lost Soul of Lord Badewyn (The Order of the MUSE, #3)
 

He vowed to never fall in love...

Meg Anthony was never raised a lady. Instead, she grew up amongst grifters who used her unique “finding” ability for their own selfish purposes. Recently, she's been taken under the wing of the Duke of Camden and the Order of M.U.S.E., learning not only the fine art of becoming a lady, but how to use her extraordinary talent to help others.

But Meg's gift is a beacon to unsavory characters who would possess her.

Charged with her protection, Lord Badewyn knows—too well—that his wild, Welsh castle is no safe haven for this lovely, all-too-desirable creature. Part human, part fallen angel, he is one of the Nephilim. He is a recluse sworn never to love. As the dangers to Meg grow more threatening, he cannot help but find himself tempted beyond all reason...and tested to see if he has both a heart and a soul.

Title: Undone by His Kiss (Regency Charms, #2)



Emily Shaw is a feminist and even founded the League of Virtuous Equality. Her father left her a big amount of money and she's able to afford to rent a place for their meetings.

That's where she meets Jasper St. David who rents place at the same building. He just started his own company - Inventive Investments. His brother is an earl and has high expectations of Jasper.

Those two meet and argue a lot. It only makes him want her more. And it makes him kiss her.

Emily has a lot of emotional baggage and doesn't trust man - daddy's issues. And her mother is bipolar I guess, because the way her mood were described just screams it.

She's not the only one with issues and trust issues. Jasper's brother belittles him all the time, which only made him more prideful and bit arrogant.

The book was way to long for how little actually happened, it could be easily novella. Lots of long monologues on the same thing. The characters seemed bit flat and way to unrealistic.
