This historical romance was both fun and heartfelt. Jenny Keeble is a woman of unknown parentage making her living as a fortune teller in London. One day, one of her clients, Ned Carhart, brings his scientific cousin Gareth, Lord Blakely, to see her. Gareth vows to prove she is a fraud, while Jenny vows to outsmart him. However, the seething attraction between them threatens to upend the game.
I very much liked this one. Gareth gets a good redemption arc. He starts out a cold, arrogant man who has let the superiority and responsibilities of his title rule his life. Jenny is very smart and has a deep core of self-respect that will not let her feel inferior to anyone. The development of their passionate relationship melts his iciness and allows him to not only truly love Jenny, but also to have better relationships with his sister and with Ned. Gareth sheds the strictures of Lord Blakely and transforms into himself. Once that happens, he finally deserves Jenny and they get their happily ever after. There's some really good witty banter, as well as lots of excellent character development and self-discovery.
