She’s the countryside girl who is determined to break him first.
But when hearts are involved, can either of them truly win?
I, Rose Matthews, have always considered myself a perfectly reasonable person.
Until the day Oliver de Havilland—the hottie I wham, bam, thank you ma’am’d two weeks ago—shows up at Hanbury Allotments and hands me a closure notice. In two months, he’s going to shut down the place I love the most—the very place that keeps the dwindling community of our village alive.
Long story short; I’m ready to riot.
Riot. Protest. Run naked through the village centre with nothing but lettuce leaves covering my lady bits. You know, the usual.
The new Duke of Hanbury is as arrogant as the last, but there’s no way I’m going to let him get away with this. Especially not since his plan is to sell the land to make way for more cookie-cutter housing nobody wants.
This is more than a battle of wits—it’s a war, and a dirty one at that.
But I won’t lose.
Because if Oliver didn’t want to play dirty, he shouldn’t have roughed up a gardener...

I can't lie, I laughed my way through this one. Emma Hart's titles tend to be on the funny side, which I enjoy as the British humour (see what I did there?) is amusing, the characters are great, and the stories she tell make me feel like I am reading about people I could know in real life.
Rose and Oliver are wonderful. She is absolutely a loon with her own jail cell (ahem, a time out area) and he is more formal and at first sees her as only a thorn in his plans.
I thought the balance of the characters, and of them figuring out that they actually liked one another was fun. Oliver's reactions to her, and to her silliness, actually not only was a balance for her, but it also balanced her for the reader. Yes, she was a little nutty. But it was endearing and it was funny.
I enjoyed and recommend this title.
