He was surprised it wasn’t raining. When he’d arrived home that night it had looked like rain. He’d grown uncommonly good at predicting the weather while on the Continent. Your friends,” Annabel murmured. Her grandmother’s contemporaries had wanted to marry Lord Newbury. Her grandmother’s contemporaries had wanted to marry the man who most likely wanted to marry her. Sebastian got up and walked to the window, resting his forehead against the pane. It was cold outside, and the icy chill pressed up against him through the glass. He liked the sensation. It was big. Grand. The sort of vivid moment that reminded him of his humanity. He was cold, therefore he must be alive. He was cold, therefore he must not be invincible. He was cold, therefore—

The uncle was allowed to assault the heroine multiple times and he pretty much just got away with it. Ridiculous. Except this time I don't. The hero is wonderful. He's exactly my type of hero. Even the heroine is okay. Nothing stands out about her and she is a bit indifferent, IMO, but she's definitely not bad or annoying.Not more than two weeks. Honestly, I don’t think he would have waited that long if he thought he could have got away with it.” Louisa looked about, her eyes falling on Annabel’s sherry. “I need some tea,” she said. Synopsis in one sentence or slightly more:Annabel has been selected by a right smarmy character to be his new bride as she apparently has the makings of good child bearing and no heir means smarmy's title goes on over to Sebastian, who he hates. Annabel and Seb meet, things happen, Seb rescues, more stuff happens because god forbid he think about settling down and then there's a sweet happy ending. Well, it’s neither here nor there. She dashed off to Scotland and no one has heard from her. By then the season was over. I’m sure Lord Newbury has been looking for a bride ever since, but I would think it’s much easier during the season when everyone is gathered together. Plus,” Louisa added, almost as an afterthought, “if he had been pursuing another lady, I’d hardly have heard about it. He lives in Hampshire.” Annabel turned her head to look at him more carefully. It was the closest her grandfather had ever come to an actual compliment toward her father, God rest his soul. Annabel does not want to marry Lord Newbury, especially when she finds out he once romanced her grandmother.

Inevitably exhaustion would set in, and sometime after dawn he would fall asleep, on his bed or in his chair or a few unpleasant times with his face pressed up against the glass. This didn’t happen every day, but often enough so that he’d gained a reputation as a slugabed, which frankly amused him. There was nothing he liked so much as a crisp and energetic morning, and certainly no meal could ever be as fulfilling as a robust English breakfast. Annabel looked at Louisa, sitting so properly in the chair next to her. Her cousin was a wisp of a thing, with slender shoulders, light brown hair and eyes of the palest green. Annabel always thought she looked like a bit of a monster next to her. Her own hair was dark and wavy, her skin the sort that would tan if she allowed herself too much time in the sun, and her figure had been attracting unwanted attention since her twelfth summer. But never –never– had attentions been any less wanted than they were right now, with Lord Newbury staring at her like a sugared treat. Our hero, Sebastian, is a charmer. A hint of PTSD from the war, he just so happens to be heir to the awful Earl.Oh, I’m thinking,” Lord Newbury said. He turned toward Annabel, his pale blue eyes alight with interest. “I am definitely thinking.” Lady Twombley is the former Cressida Cowper, who appeared as the "mean girl" in The Viscount Who Loved Me and Romancing Mr. Bridgerton. And so he opened his eyes. Because then all he saw was his rather ordinary bedchamber, with its rather ordinary bed. The quilt was green, the curtains gold. His desk was wood.

Sebastian (I hate how this name is so popular in HR, I'm really bored of it) is an insomniac/gothic romance writer (under a pseudonym, of course), who is heir to earldom, if his uncle dies without a son. Considering how much the old man hates him, the uncle is trying to marry the most fertile lady in the market, Annabel Winslow. Annabel is a country lass who doesn't really fit in with the English ton, but is obliged to find a match with the Wealthy Lord Newbury, a man who had once courted her grandmother and has the manners of a dog (he's just lewd and disgusting and old and ugly to top it off - typical). After meeting Sebastian, she tries to keep him from finding out that his uncle was courting her and finds a friend in him - making her question whether she should really marry for money. But Sebastian comes with a set of his own secrets and a few demons. Anabelle is also a list maker which is where the title comes from. The 1 to 10 lists are sometimes funny but it gets old fast and seems forced at times. The whole story is sort of like that, it’s ok but it doesn’t really hold your attention. Even the steam is barely there and once you get to it you’re not really all that interested anymore. There's an interesting secret that's revealed that added to the fun but again after awhile it just got boring. That’s where we disagree,” said Newbury. “My own Margaret kept her thoughts to herself. We had a splendid union.” And so he trained himself to live with his affliction as best he could. He’d got into the habit of taking breakfast at the home of his cousin Harry, in part because Harry’s housekeeper laid a damned fine meal, but also because it meant that Harry now expected him to show up. Which meant that nine times out of ten, Sebastian had to show up. Which meant that he could not allow himself to pass out at half seven every morning. Which meant that he was more tired than usual the following night. Which meant that when he crawled into bed and closed his eyes, he would fall asleep more easily. The book couldn't quite decide whether it wanted to be funny or serious at certain points. The serious issues such as the heroine being assaulted and the hero's PTSD from war were glossed over in too light of a manner.If Louisa, whose manner and bearing were consistently correct no matter the occasion, could not keep her horror off her face, then Annabel was in very big trouble, indeed.

There were a million references to the hero's books, plus there were so many times where the hero would think "If I were writing this scene..." It was really annoying. Together these two main characters give us heaps of humorous dialogue plus the development of a delightful relationship. They are perfect for each other. The story is entertaining, and the secondary characters are all well written and also given lots of amusing banter. The theme of counting to ten was used brilliantly as was the authorship of the romantic novels. So, you always wonder about the best thing of your partner?
