557. What a Lady Wants (Victoria Alexander)

Synopsis from Amazon:
When Felicity Melville first meets notorious rake Nigel Cavendish, they're both in compromising positions: she's despairing over her five unsuccessful seasons looking for love in London, and he's fleeing the wrath of a cuckolded, gun-happy husband. Intrigued by his recklessness, Felicity decides, after watching him disappear into the night, that Nigel will become her husband. What she doesn't know is that Nigel is determined not to marry, having entered into a wager with four other bachelors to see who among them will remain unwed the longest.

My rating: 3 stars

My review: After reading the first chapter, I thought the book had a lot of potential. How wrong I was. Totally predictable. Heroine wants hero. Hero doesn't want to get married. They are forced to marry after being caught in a compromising position. Heroine feels guilty about situation. Hero realizes that he does love heroine and is glad to be married. They live happily ever after. Blah, blah, blah.
