Book Description:
She’s America’s It girl. He’s Britain’s most eligible bachelor.
First impressions are supposed to last … but they’re losing track.
Summer in the Hamptons is predictable. Lavish parties. Polo matches. Private yachts. Same people, different place.
So the surprise arrival of Charles Marlborough causes an excited stir throughout the highest echelons of society. The upper crust he’s come to impress. Wealthy elites he has to impress.
Billionaire heiress Elizabeth (Lili) Kensington isn’t dazzled by Britain’s youngest duke. She’s glimpsed the imperiousness behind the charming facade of New York’s newest deity and resolved to stay far away.
The only daughter and eldest child of American royalty, Lili is well-acquainted with unwavering attention. She’s used to fake flattery and whispers about her family’s immense wealth.
Accustomed to men trying to cajole their way into her bed and her bank account. But her attempts to humble Charlie only make her more confused about his true character.
Each time their privileged worlds collide, Lili and Charlie’s perceptions of each other shift. They put on acts in public but stop performing when they’re alone. Motivations become murky. Feelings form. Secrets spill.
She swore she’d never fall for a false god.He never intended to fall at all.
Even patricians can’t lay perfect plans …
My Thoughts: 4/5 stars
This was my introduction to CW Farnsworth and from what I’ve seen from other reviews, this the second generation to another series. Still a standalone, just less background on some of the family members, etc. While I wasn’t lost, I think I may have had more appreciation at the return characters but I still enjoyed the new main characters!
I will admit, the beginning got mildly dull. While I do love the billionaire trope, I think I prefer the darker side of it. The secret societies, organized crime – the more aristocratic billionaire trope isn’t quite the same. Some of the descriptions with the high society was hard to stay engaged with.
The immediate attraction and charge between them was consuming and their mild cat and mouse was fun. When the romance started I felt more of a draw to the story and things got more interesting and exciting. Would I pick up more from this author? Of course! I did love the writing and the character development, it’s just a slightly different side of a trope I enjoy. If you enjoy the high society trope in romance, then you’ll love this one!
