Eleven years ago during Christmas, Martin Banks’ family was thrown into the streets by wealthy landlord, Edwin Hartwell. Now this holiday season, Fate has handed Martin an unexpected gift. Vengeance. Defeating Hartwell at cards gives Martin the chance to financially ruin the man—but damn, instead of money, Hartwell offers his daughter as payment. And double damn, Martin stupidly accepts. How did retribution turn into seduction? Martin refuses to let himself fall in love, so there must be rules to this game. And perhaps a bit of romance.
Desperate to save her father from ruin, Livvy Hartwell agrees to accompany Martin as his paramour. She long ago accepted that a penniless bluestocking like herself had no chance for a well-suited marriage. If a few passionate months with a man like Martin is all she’ll ever have as far as romance, it’s an opportunity she will take. But she must guard her heart. He might be handsome as the devil and tempting as sin, but she can’t be a typical mistress and doesn’t want Martin to call her such. In fact, she has a list of rules.
Livvy’s Rules:
~ Adventures outdoors such as horseback riding would be appreciated.
~ Evening meals should be eaten together to converse about the day’s events.
~ Allotted time alone to read gothic novels.
~ Kissing should be kept at a minimum.
Martin’s Rules:
~ Adventures are required—particularly indoors—and will be greatly appreciated.
~ Evening meals will sometimes be eaten in the bedroom, naked.
~ Allotted time together to act out the sensual gothic novels.
~ Kissing—a lot of it and in some very pleasurable spots — is required.

There are good moments, and the plot line is one of my favorite tropes (enemies to lovers), but this one kind of missed the mark in the whole.

This is an excellently told tale of romance, and revenge gone awry. I loved both the hero and the heroine. The poor hero started out trying to be a villain by ruining the man who had ruined his family eleven years ago. It didn’t take him long to come to understand that revenge wasn’t quite as sweet as he thought it would be.
Martin Banks is now a very, very, very rich man, but that wasn’t always the case. Eleven years ago, near Christmas, an evil man visited ruin and death upon his family. Martin would like nothing better than to find that man and bring that same loss and ruination to him. Finally, for the first time in eleven years, Martin has come across the villain. He certainly doesn’t resemble that formidable, evil man that brought the evil to young Martin’s home. So much the better for Martin because desperate men wager recklessly. It doesn’t take long for Martin to win everything the man owns. Ah! Revenge! Martin informs the man that he’ll call on him the next day to collect his winnings.
Lavinia (Livvy) Hartwell is in the midst of her first season, but she hasn’t seen any prospective husbands that appeal to her. Maybe she doesn’t attract suitors because her clothes are threadbare and several seasons out of style. Livvy also has a vice – yep – she reads gothic novels. As a matter of fact, she’s closeted in her room reading Lady Leticia and the Dark Duke, when she hears her father shouting, “Elizabeth! He’s here!” Livvy rushed from her room and ended up eavesdropping at the door of the drawing room. What she hears is astounding. They are to be turned out of their home tomorrow. Goodness – she just has to intervene – surely the man has some decency – so she burst into the room.
Martin hadn’t realized that Hartwell had a daughter. Ah! That sweet revenge again. He’d take Hartwell’s daughter from him since Hartwell had taken Martin’s mother from him. So, he tells Hartwell that he’ll take Livvy to be his mistress and that will cancel Hartwell’s debt. Hartwell declines, but eventually, to save her home, Livvy agrees.
It seems that Martin is a bit impulsive. He has absolutely no idea what he is now going to do with Livvy. He certainly hadn’t thought through all of the ramifications of he had done. He certainly isn’t going to force himself on her. We soon find that Martin isn’t half the villain he is trying to be and he is out of his depths in this situation.
It is lovely to see Livvy and Martin spend time together and to get the know each other – and yes – to love each other even though Martin adamantly denies it. He cannot – he absolutely refuses – to fall in love with the daughter of the man who caused his family’s ruin and ultimately cost him both of his parents. Believe me – Martin is one hard-headed fellow and it takes a near-tragedy to open his eyes to what he could have.
I definitely recommend this book.

Livvy was the definition of feisty. She also demonstrated great maturity in the situation she found herself in.
Martin decided the key to a heartbreak-free life is to remain unattached. He took mistresses for extended periods but never invested emotionally in them. When a calculated attempt at revenge took an unexpected turn, Martin found himself with Livvy as his companion and he started feeling things he never had before.

Martin in this first book was not very attractive, a cad playing for his living and losing.
Now, years later, he has improved his personality and his wealth but when faced with his past, he is back to be the seventeen young boy who saw his life goes in shambles.
Livvy, despite her youth, is no weak woman, she stands for her father and accepts to see her dreams go to hell with her decision to save her family by selling herself to her father’s debtor.
It is a sweet romance of two persons drawn together but kept apart by the circonstances of their encounter.
This novella is how they will get to find a way to sort out the mess they are in.
A cute short story, 4.5 stars rate.
