Mrs. Lirriper's Lodgings Book

Following rumors of her father's death, Larrisa Ascot was stunned when she and her brother were also evicted from their home by Vincent Everett, Baron of Windsmoor who bought the mortgage to their house in his attempt to seek vengeance on her father for causing the "death" of Vincent's only brother. However, when he lays eyes on Larrisa, he's so taken by her beauty that he moves them into his home in order to seduce her. Raised by cold, indifferent parents, Vincent didn't know what to make of Larrisa who insisted on putting up a Christmas tree and decorating it and who looked on the bright side of things until she finally figured out that sleeping with him didn't mean marriage and left him Christmas Day. By then it was too late and all Vincent wanted to do was to make Larrisa his wife forever.

I was disappointed in this book. I've read many books by this author but this one could have been so much better; something just seemed to be missing. Larrisa was just so naïve, always believing the best of Vincent. Vincent was so cold-hearted throughout the story until it was too late. Only Thomas and Jonathan seemed to be real people.
