An Agreeable Arrangement
Lady Cassandra Phillips’ terms for her inheritance are simple—marry the man her father had chosen and she can keep her fortune and her family estate. However, if Cassie refuses to comply, she will lose everything she has come to know and treasure as her own.
Julian, the elder brother of the estimable Stewart family, which Cassie’s father had mandated she will marry into, values family duty and honor above all else. He can wield a pen in business matters and keep his respected, long-established family financially secure but he knows nothing of love. He will ensure that Cassie adheres to the marriage agreement proposed by their fathers, though it means uniting her with his capricious younger brother, Edward.
Dashing Edward Stewart, the younger brother, has charm and talent to win the heart of any woman he chooses. The arrangement between the two families seems happily settled, but Cassie’s misplaced affection makes her believe that it will be impossible to have both her heart’s desire and the man she loves.

3.5 Review to come.
I thought this was a cute story. There were a couple twists that kept it from being too predictable. I liked the characters, although Julian wasnt quite what I was expecting. He kind of seemed nerdy at first, but he did grow on me. Overall, I liked it.
Content: Clean.

Quick read, pleasantly light historical romance. Refreshing.

Yet another asshole male lead who is (presumably, I didn't finish it) redeemed by the love of the female lead. Bleh.

This was a cute book, although very light and short. Somehow the packaging led me to believe that the book would be better written, but here is support for not judging a book by it's cover. It looks like quality, but is more like a dimestore romance.

this was just way too much for me. aside from the super contrived story line and inconsistent characters, the melodrama was a bit over the top. i really wanted to like it, but i think my higher expectations caused my actual reaction to be a lot lower.

This felt like a novel that didn't finish the editing/review process. No real character development and too much reliance on dialogue to move the plotline. That being said, Cassandra did have some feisty moments which I enjoyed. There was more potential here that just wasn't well executed.

Lady Cassandra Phillips' terms for her inheritance are simple. She must marry the man her father has chosen, then she can keep her fortune and the family estate. It is a Regency yarn and full of surprises.

Meh
This book felt rushed and under developed. From the very beginning, the author jumps from one situation to the next without any details. I was very disappointed. However, there was a twist at the end that I didn't see coming. I appreciated that.

Fluffy little escapist romance.

Cute and clean. Nothing wow, but a enjoyable regency read. I've noticed with this author she has a few too many POV's but nothing too horrible.
Moral Note: A bit of a scandal, but nothing graphic.

What a sweet love story! Such an easy read too (finished it within 24 hours). Great characters and plot. I won a signed copy on a Goodreads giveaway and I would recommend it to my friends.

Cute predictable story, but it wasn't what I was looking for.

Easy read, and very fast. There was nothing emotionally challenging in this book and it was a pleasant way to spend three hours

Interesting
I do not usually like 1700 century books but this one was quite good and had a good ending. I would liked an epilogue showing how well it turned out
