Fast paced and enchanting. I really enjoyed Paine and Julia's story. Julia needed to be rescued from an unwanted marriage. Her groom-to-be actually insisted on her being examined by his physician to verify her virginity. She took matters into her own hands and found the gentleman with the worst reputation that she could think of to "ruin" her. Paine did have a black past but he was going to refuse the beauty's offer of her maidenhead until he found out that she needed protection from his nemisis, Oswalt. Combine together Julia's spunk and Paine's sexy determination and you get a story that is impossible to put down.
