Witty and elusive Eugenia Snowe has all society begging for one of her premiere governesses-except the powerful Edward Reeve, who bursts into her office with his arrogant demands. No question that Eugenia enjoys crossing wits with the brilliant inventor, but Ward wants far more than a governess. He wants Eugenia, and he’ll stop at nothing to have her-including kidnapping. Will Eugenia lose her heart in the most reckless gamble of her life, or will she discover the sweetest pleasure she’s ever known? All it will take is seven minutes...

DNF at page ~140.
sigh I have no one but myself to blame. If I'd only read the cover copy instead of auto-buying, I would've known what to expect. But I didn't. I went in blind, and it was going so well up until the DNF point. I enjoyed the characters individually, and their repartee was excellent. I always have a soft spot for relationships that have epistolary elements. BUT then it all came crumbling down.
Funny, how the hero stealing every bit of the heroine's agency - WITH HER BEST FRIEND'S PERMISSION - can do that.
Marked as Put Aside Temporarily, since I might decide to come back to it when I'm in the right frame of mind and a particularly forgiving mood.
