Six years ago, fourteen-year-old Athena Townsbridge humiliated Robert Carlisle when she stopped his wedding and announced the bride and her brother were in love。 Robert is now the Marquess of Darlington and living near her family’s estate。 This means social contact may be unavoidable, so Athena decides to try to apologize and make amends for the pain she caused。 Athena is and always has been a hoyden。 She is the last person he wants to see, but here she is, in his parlor, unchaperoned。 To make matters worse, a snowstorm strands her at his home。 The visit is quite contentious at the start, but as they spend time together waiting for the storm to abate, Robert realizes that he likes Athena, a lot。 What is he to do now? Has Fate thrown them together? How will he face her family?
An Unexpected Temptation is a quick, cute read with wonderful characters from the whole series。 It is full of fun, surprises, forgiveness, and reconciliation。 Athena and Robert’s story is the perfect finale for this wonderful series about a happy family。 I enjoyed and recommend it。
