Lady Amelia and Jake Hillary have a complicated history. They’ve loved each other for years, but Amelia married Jake’s best friend, Audley. After Audley’s death, Jake and Amelia shared a passionate kiss, but then Jake disappeared to take care of family issues…and his family meddled in their relationship.
Years after they should’ve gotten together, Jake and Amelia finally have a chance to clear the air of all the misunderstanding and malicious acts that have kept them apart.
But just when it looks like they’ll be able to have their richly deserved happily-ever-after, two things conspire to ruin their chance for happiness. First, Jake has difficulty accepting Amelia’s promiscuous best friend. And once he comes to accept her friend, Amelia receives troubling news that she may not be a widow after all, making any marriage to Jake bigamous.
Samantha Grace debuted earlier this year with the first book in this series, Miss Hillary Schools a Scoundrel, which features Jake’s sister Lana. I said in my review that it was full of fun, feisty characters who are as adept at teasing each other as they are at waltzing.
Lady Amelia’s Mess and a Half continues in that vein – though some of the men seem considerably less adept at waltzing.
