Some spoilers!
1850's. Grace is flirty, fun, and enjoys society. She's also beautiful and can have any man to wed if she tried, but she's having too much fun. She amicably flirts with a Viscount named Amherst routinely. Neither mean anything by it. However, when Grace realizes her mother's condition, madness which sounds a lot like dimensia, worsens, Grace feels pressured to marry so her sisters can too. Apparently once it gets out that mother is crazy it will be hard to find suitors. Families don't want that passing on. She sets up a trap for Amherst but ends up with his brother, the Earl instead. He's a troubled man with OCD and perverse fantasies due to trama. 

First, I want to say Grace's character is aptly named because she is a fixer. She wants to help people and animals. The Earl is the perfect project in that respect. However, their first time in their "marital conjugal visits" were basically rape. 😡 At one point she said no and he continued. It was uncomfortable 😣. She's VERY forgiving and probably naive and determines herself to figure him out and abide by his fantasies. 

Second, the storylines goes quick. I'm talking in a few weeks and BAM she's okay with his attitude, his perversions, his past, his OCD, as if everyone is fine. And just as quickly...happy ending.  I gave it the extra half heart soley for her strength and the happy ending. I can't say I'll read another Julia London book or not after this...time will tell. As far as recommending it, you make the call after this review.
