At 23 years old, Lady Hope Beaumont's wild and independent ways, make her quite unladylike in the opinion of many people. However her beauty, the fact that she is the daughter of the Earl of Marchwood, not to mention her fortune, still makes her an appealing marriage prospect for some.

*** The author, Catherine Winchester, sent this book to me. I just want everyone to know before they read my review. This is an honest review. ***
When I first received this book, my first thought was, I'm not gonna like this. I don't read sappy, romance novels. Well, you can't judge a book by it's cover, title, or description.
I enjoyed this book very much. Hope is one of the main female characters. You will fall in love with her spirit and unladylike behavior. All the characters in this story are well developed and fit into the plot perfectly.
I agree with the last sentence for this book on Amazon:
"With a perfect mix of romance, suspense and sumptuous Victorian elegance, Degrees of Hope will keep you turning pages and leave you wanting more."

For me there wasn't a lot of romance. I see that as a good thing. If this book was full of romance, there wouldn't be room in the story for the suspense. I guess that's way I enjoyed it so much. Suspense, the best friend relationship that develops between Hope and Honoria, and a little hate/love romance is why I couldn't put this book down.

Good story...
The story, characters, and overall pace of the book was good. Grammar and punctuation errors made it hard to get through.
