Christian Du Quesne, Duke of Scarborough, thinks this stubborn heiress is about to make the biggest mistake of her life, and he's determined to stop her.

Falling in love with Annabel wasn't supposed to be part of the bargain...

"Christian is exactly the bad-boy, playboy type and Annabel the typical rich American. Once again, like the previous books, the relationship grows before any real intimacy. I liked the cross between the two worlds (England and America) at the turn of the century." — Barbara (5 out of 5 stars)

“Guhrke’s knack for merging poignancy and humor, pride and passion are what makes her a fan favorite, and once more she enthralls readers with an emotionally moving romance that balances love, lust, and laughter. Her unique characters simply win fans’ hearts and will have readers holding their breath.”
" An enjoyable read, light with not much depth to it. Likable characters but they were rather stereotyped for too much of the boom. You never really get to know them and the story is over before you know it leaving you with a feeling of dissatisfaction. "
" Review will be posted in November as per the publisher's request. "
" 3.5 stars (not quite a 4). Loved the cover tho! Had a few anxious moments when the heroine obstinately insisted to marry a guy who she doesn't love for his title (& of course he's a worthless worm) but it was handled quite well. Felt the ending was a bit rushed. "
" Probably my favorite from this series so far. "
" The third installment in Guhrke's Abandoned at the Altar series features two characters we've never seen before - as far as I recall, and neither of them managed to stir much emotion in this reader, even after 100 pages. "
" Amusing fast paced romance, two engaging leads with great chemistry, this one was just light hearted fun, and Christian was especially delicious! "
" New author for me. Plot was a bit simplistic but characters were ok. "
" One of the best Regency romances I've ever read! "
" Slightly later dated (1904) than I prefer but overall pretty good. "
" the duke of scarbrough and miss annabel wheaton is a rather delicious scandal! I loved this book, i wish there was more to the ending but nothing to be done for it now. "
" Really enjoyed this author...would read more of her books. "
