When Rose Balfour was 16, she foolishly flirts and throws herself at Lord Sinclair at a formal event and then is shocked when he kisses her with a little bit too much enthusiasm. Surprised she pushes Sinclair (who nickname is 'Sin') into a fountain which causes gossip and Rose's reputation is ruined and Sinclair feels humiliated. Rose goes into hiding and Sin spends 6 years brooding over the event plotting his revenge. So, six years later Sin's very wealthy Aunt creates an elaborate ruse to bring the two together again and watch the fireworks fly.
The writing was solid, but the story gets tired and slow. The two characters challenge each other to see who is better at Horse riding, archery, and even croquet! Trust me descriptions of croquet games are not that exciting. It also did not help that Sin was really only looking for a "booty call" and the Heroine is to blinded by her crush on this guy to realize it. So the mom in me just wanted to smack her upside the head and tell her to stop flirting with this guy since he is bad news. This is a Romance Novel and all so OF COURSE you know its going to turn out okay in the end (which also makes me want to vomit, but this was entertaining and I like to be entertained).
