Mirabella is upset over the death of her best friend and the fact that she's had to wait 6 years for her intended to come claim her. Her best friend, who was a plain girl, took her own life after being taken advantage of by a man of the ton. All Mirabella has to go on is the fact that her friend's "Prince Charming" has a scar just below his collar bone. Mirabella makes a list of all the people her friend danced with and starts flirting with them so she can check their collars. Ok weirdness #1.
Camden has been in America for 6 years. He fled after the scandal of his fiance who was caught kissing another man. When Camden comes back, he has a chance encounter with Mirabella and is intrigued by her. At a ball the next night, he catches her in the act of "collaring" a young man. He fears a repeat of his past. BUT his family is in dire straights financially and needs him to keep up appearances. He is STILL intrigued by her and even kisses her a few times. Why is he doing this after he knows she's been kissing all these other men?! Weirdness #2.
I got annoyed with the language. Yes, I noticed that they were into each other and yes, they mention it A LOT. Their feelings of passion are mentioned often and once I read about her "womanly spot" (exact wording) I had a good laugh and quit soon after that. The weirdness just kept piling up and circumstances went against common sense. What else can I say? I won't miss this one.
