What could possibly go wrong by asking someone else to make all of her decisions?
After a misguided kiss and subsequent rejection by yet another gentleman, Miss Amy Paxton convinces her brother to make all of her future decisions, especially in finding her a husband. His strategy? She must seek his advice before doing anything. Desperate for a happier future and a fresh start, Amy adopts her new way of life with relative ease. That is, until her new, self-assured landlord begins to meddle in her affairs.
With the passing of his oppressive grandfather, Mr. William Eastwood is finally free. Free to explore business ventures, free to help his parents—and free to marry his childhood friend, Miss Charity Winslow. But matters are complicated when he must help his new tenant, Amy Paxton, stand up to her overbearing brother. William soon discovers, however, that Amy is not as defenseless as she seems.
Anxious to discover the reasoning behind her behavior, William determines to uncover the real Amy, and an attraction sparks between them. But when challenges arise, Amy must protect herself as William struggles to choose between what his heart longs for—and what his duty demands.

My Review: 5 StarsWhat a delightfully charming story! Amy's had a couple of potential relationships fail before they even really began and decides to enlist the help of her brother, Hugh, to help her out. Siblings are so much fun, and sometimes annoying, and this relationship was portrayed in a fantastically ideal way.
I hate making decisions so I totally get her reasoning to allow Hugh to do so on her behalf.Amy is the type of character that I envy--she is precocious, amusing, blunt, sweet, and slightly naive, all of which lead to some great situations, especially between her and William Eastwood. William is finally free from his grandfather's thumb and I enjoyed watching him become who he truly desires to be, but I love, love, loved the interactions between him and Amy best of all. They always left me with a silly smile on my face.This Regency romance offered the perfect blend of fun, swoon, banter, and assumptions. I was enthralled from the very start and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of my time in the Lake District with these characters. And now, I've got to check out the rest of the series (which can be found below).Content: mild romance
