After jilting first a fortune hunter, then a lying libertine, Lady Fanny Dashwood has given up on marrying for love. This time it will be strictly business – a man who’ll agree to her terms, give her the children she craves, but will not trouble her heart.
Sebastian Rutledge, Viscount Shaw, has desired Lady Fanny from afar for years. However, he is a factory owner with a new title – not nearly good enough for an earl’s daughter. Until a dream opportunity arises: a marriage of convenience with the woman of his dreams. Even as their growing passion unleashes in the bedchamber, his new wife remains at arm’s length. Could a wellborn lady ever fall for an unconventional lord?

The Viscount & I, Book 3 of the Forever Yours series, was about Lady Fanny Dashwood, sister to Lord Colin Dashwood, the Earl of Banberry, and Lord Sebastian Rutledge, Viscount Shaw, a factory owner with a new title. After two broken engagements, one to a fortune hunter and one to a Marquess who had cruel intentions, Fanny declared she would never seek to marry for love again. Sebastian, having met and fallen in love with Fanny several years before, was in the midst of a boxing match when he learned his beloved was, in fact, not getting married that day. Though he believed she didn't even know he existed, yet he still pined for her. When Society deemed Fanny ruined, her brother thought to marry her off to an older nobleman, against Fanny's will. However, Sebastian took full advantage of her jilting of the Marquess and proposed to her on the spot. Within a short span of time, they married, but Sebastian worried he might offend her "lady sensibilities" with his amorous needs. There was a lot of angst and drama in this story, mainly surrounding Society's dictates of what a Lady should and should not do in the bedroom. This book dealt with what was considered taboo for the time and what a man would go to a mistress for instead of seeking from the marital bed. It broke the barriers of the era and was an excellent book. The storyline was well-written and the plot was laid out in full for the reader to see. The characters were well-developed and fleshed out. Sebastian, being a man who started out as working-class who was surprised to be elevated to a titled Lord, was well done. His character showed the struggles a working-class man endured when suddenly thrust into nobility with no prior training. Franny was the typical aristocratic lady who knew nothing beyond the whispers of what should take place in the bedroom...the "close your eyes, don't make a sound and endure it" routine that their mothers taught them, and yet...she knew there had to be more. This was an excellent story, one that earned a five-star rating and a place with the other Keeper for the Shelves collection.
