Against the glittering backdrop of Regency England, Adrienne Basso weaves an enchanting tale of a mismatched couple joined by fate.and destined for love. When pampered Faith Linden's father and her titled fiancé, Viscount Dewhurst, die, she suddenly finds herself in a desperately precarious position. The only way Faith can hold on to her beloved family home is to convince her late fiancé's younger brother, the new Viscount Dewhurst, to marry her in his stead.Yet when she finally encounters Lord Griffin Sainthill, she is in for a surprise: this brooding and ruggedly handsome adventurer is not so easily bent to her will...and may be the man who can capture her unsuspecting heart. A sea captain and owner of a profitable shipping company, Griffin Sainthill was quite happy with his life in the American colonies. So when the news of his inheritance finally reaches him, the sun-bronzed seafarer is less than pleased. His mood only darkens when he returns to England to discover a brazen beauty intent on becoming his bride! But when a twinge of conscience and a stolen kiss give him pause, Griffin finds himself embarking on the riskiest venture of all-marriage to a woman who will tempt him, torment him, and turn his whole life upside down.

When Faith Linden's fiancé, Viscount Dewhurst, dies suddenly, she decides to convince his younger brother, the new Viscount Dewhurst to marry her in his place.
The reluctant Griffin Sainthill marries Faith out of guilt of her precarious position. Off course it has absolutely nothing to do with the reluctant attraction he feels for her...
Very entertaining book.

Exceptional!!

Everything I normally look for to enjoy a book was evident in this book save one or two elements, but that did not deter me from thoroughly enjoying this book. The synopsis of this novel is on the product review page, it's pointless to repeat it here.
This book had enough accurate information for that Genre that is was easy for me to safely enjoy the book without consciously looking for mistakes. No more accurate dialect for that genre could have been written, Adrienne really put a great effort on her research, for that alone the book deserves a two star. (and adding). The drama was a little too minimal for my taste, but since it existed in the novel overall I was willing to overlook that minor detail. Her usage of the Peerage ranks and social class was as accurate as well. Nothing irritates me more than an author who does not do enough minor research to make sure the peerage title usage is accurate.
Lastly, this most important thing for me (it is a love story after all) is the passion between the characters. Ms Basso once again nailed it dead on.
This book seems although independent to be part of a series, there was a character "Harriet" the sister of the Viscount who I really didn't care for at all. Fortunately I read her story in "to tempt a rogue" before I got my hands on this book and I must say that I would not have wanted to read about her after the role she played in this novel. Honestly she is so bitter I wonder why she even got a story. Nevertheless both books were exceptional.

While I did enjoy this book very much, I do agree with other reviews that a bit more development would have made it even better. It was a good read and I would recommend!

To Wed a Viscount by Adrienne Basso
Once I got into the book this is a decent enough read. It is high in sensuality and low on plot. Several plot points were introduced that weren't followed through, and while I liked both the hero and the heroine, they weren't actually developed enough for me to become emotionally attached to either of them. This book seemed to me to just be missing vital information for the plot to progress as it should.
