**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review**

Jeremy Keane is known around London for his eclectic art pieces and for being an American rake. When he’s forced to attend a wedding party, he sees a woman he must have as the muse for his next piece. When she turns out to be the sister of a gentleman he was just discussing the trouble with having a sister, he agrees to paint her portrait against his own wishes so he can paint her the way he really wants to. Lady Yvette Barlow doesn’t exactly fit in society’s utmost standards. Her family has already been scandalized by one of her brothers, she’s too tall and curvy, and not to mention she has the oddest hobby. When she meets Jeremy Keane, she can’t help but feel the attraction.  Her problem is that he doesn’t seem to be nearly as affected…

Yvette reminded me of Elizabeth Bennett’s character from Pride and Prejudice to a point. She’s quick-witted, is resolved to not marry for anything less than love, stubborn, and loves her family to a fault. I really enjoyed reading about her in this book. Jeremy was a little harder to figure out. While up front, he uses the title of rogue to do what he wants to do as well as avoid dealing with the pain from so many years before. Because of this shield he’s created, it’s a long journey for Yvette to see what he’s done and try to break through.

I really enjoyed this story. While it took me a bit of reading to recognize a few of the characters from the author’s last series, I loved the connection. This was a great story with great characters, especially dealing with close family problems in such a way. I highly recommend it
