Viscount James Demerovan has been bullied by his stepfather since childhood. When James inherits the viscountcy, his uncle seizes his responsibilities and power, and James allows it, believing he will always be the disappointment his stepfather predicted. Meanwhile, Bobby Mason has always wanted to make a difference in politics, but as the second son, he’s relegated to the sidelines. When he and James meet, there’s an instant attraction between them. However, James is terrified by Bobby’s incautious nature, while Bobby is frustrated by James’s meek behavior. Only once James escapes London’s critical eye by visiting the Mason family in the countryside, can James relax, letting Bobby see James for who he truly is. When an old romantic acquaintance of James’s blackmails both Bobby and James, they team up with each other and their families to outsmart him.
VERDICT Readers should start with book one in the series, Don’t Want You Like a Best Friend, as Beth and Gwen from that novel play starring roles in Bobby and James’s romance. Fans of the series will enjoy seeing the reluctant heroes maturing and taking responsibility thanks to unconditional love from supportive members of their family.
