Lindsey is so sweet and naive that everyone loves her. Edward is a cold fish with a bad reputation. (Is it deserved?) Lindsey is also a spirited girl so why does she let Edward get the best of her at times. Basically, though, she is really a neat character. Edward can be a insufferable tyrant at times and does not have a very high opinion of females (except his aunt). I would have murdered the guy and been hung before the conclusion of the book. Imagine him thinking he has suffered more than Lindsey because she is a woman! Talking between these two beautiful people would have solved alot of problems. But then it would half reduced the book by probably over half. Roger, Lindsey's stepbrother and a real nasty villian, was a nice touch. On that point, I can't imagine Lindsey allowing Roger to murder her real brother and not seeking justice. All in all, OBYT was an entertaining book. Cameron's best, I think.
The book defitely has a twist in the end, which makes the book a good read. I wish Stella Cameron wrote more historical romances.Sworn to avenge his brother's death, Edward de Worthe, the Viscount Hawkesly, is determined to woo, wed, and ruin the reputation of Lindsay Granville, the stepsister of the man responsible for de Worthe's brother's death.
