An Improper Agreement by Audra Wells
Book Blurb
She refused to meet his eye, but he heard her quiet words, ground out behind clenched teeth. "I accept, Lord Eaton. And I plan to win." Clara has been missing from the London
marriage mart for six years and is reluctant to return. That feeling only grows when she happens to meet Lord Eaton-a rather arrogant, proud Earl who vexes her from the moment they first meet. Not wanting to allow herself to be put down by a pompous, self-righteous man, she agrees to the silly game he proposes. The first to make the better match by the end of the season..wins.
Wesley had not intended to meet Miss Carrow in the hedge maze in the dark of night-but that is precisely what happened. He can't help but get a rise out of her when he finds that she is entirely too entertaining to tease. Now, they are stuck in a cut-throat competition to see who can land the better match by the end of the season. There are no rules in their secret game-a fact that Wesley overlooked when proposing the idea. Now his plan to pursue the daughter of a duke is quickly crumbling before his very eyes…and not just because of Miss Carrow's meddling. Miss Carrow herself begins to prove to be an unwanted and unplanned distraction. Will either opponent succeed? Or will they stumble upon something deeper as they spend more and more time in
each other's company? An Improper Agreement is a dual pov, closed-door/clean, regency romance
My review
This book is so wonderfully amazing!! I LOVED it so much! Audra Wells writing style is fantastic and everything just flows so well. Wesley is an Earl and wants to marry a woman with a title to please his deceased father, he pushes all thoughts of love aside. But when he kisses Clara by mistake everything changes. Clara gets the shock of her life when she is suddenly pulled into a kiss in the hedge maze by a man she has never met. Realizing his mistake he apologizes then proceeds to insult her by saying he thought she was someone else and that she is not titled. This leads them to a competition of who will claim the highest titled suitor by the end of the season wins. I loved these characters! I love how they teased each other, plotted against each other, and had deep conversations with each other. And the chemistry is swoon worthy! I also enjoyed Archie’s character a lot. Maybe he should get his own book. 😉 I loved the humor in this book but it also had tender moments. Overall great read and I definitely recommend!!
