Catherine Benson has been plagued by quite the scandal and is entering a marriage of convenience with Andrew Davener. While he’s marrying her so that her dowry can get his estate back in order, Catherine’s sister doesn’t understand why she’s marrying him. Rumor has it that she lost her virtue, and Catherine can tell you how much damage a rumor can cause. Now she’s left to figure out her marriage to a man with a strong sense of duty.
We mainly follow Catherine and Andrew and pick up right before they marry. Catherine has been plagued by a scandal and is marrying the first agreeable man willing to marry her. Andrew may be desperate to get the estate his father destroyed back in order, but at least he seems agreeable as well as bound to duty. I like how we slowly learn the truth behind the rumors. It’s clear that the rumors are true to some degree from the start, but we get to learn what really happened as the story unfolds.
I really enjoyed reading this. The art was really nice, and the storytelling was excellent. The romance is a slow burn but not so slow that you feel like it’s not progressing. I really liked the majority of the characters we see as well. Catherine and Andrew were well developed and great to follow. However, I do wish that some of the supporting characters were better developed, like Catherine’s sister. We seemed to barely graze the surface even though she had her own storyline. That said, it does have a great cast of characters and I enjoyed reading it so much that I wish it was the first in a series.
