Lady Charlotte Grand is a wildly intelligent young girl, on the brink of crafting a beautiful life. But there’s just one problem: her parents have agreed to marry her off to a two-faced, arrogant Lord. Since everyone but her seems to be blind to his deceit, she decides to concoct a plan to prove his evil ways. But little did she know, when she traveled to London with her family, that she was about to meet an exciting man, capable of stealing her heart. Will she manage to focus on her mission or will she surrender to her feelings?
Handsome Lord Ewan Conrad is a man of incredible title and status. Despite his wealth, he’s building an importing and exporting business that sends him traveling around different cities and countries. He’s in it for the adventure, even though gossip swirls around him. But when he returns home in London, he’s struck with the beauty and charm of a young Lady. Will he dare to aim at her heart or will the secrets she seems to carry get him away from her?
Soon enough, the heroes are about to find themselves in a whirlwind of gossip, anger and betrayal. Will Charlotte find a way to escape from the terror of the deceitful Lord? And will Ewan and Charlotte find in one another a true soul mate, despite all odds?

The Arranged Marriage to A Cad👺
Charlotte💃💋 dithered too much in the marriage mart, so her parents have arranged a secret betrothal for her to Lord Felton Seymour👺, a wealthy cad who is cruel, uncaring, and only wants her father's title, and his seat in Parliament!
Unfortunately, Felton👺 is a master manipulator, and Charlotte's father has no idea how devious Lord Seymour👺 really is. Dad just sees the Seymour wealth and his own title being passed on to a male heir and a husband for his fiesty, nonconformist daughter.
In the meantime, Charlotte💃💋 meets 25 year old Lord Ewan Conrad🐺🍆🌋, the son of a Duke, who has set himself up In the import export business and loves to travel. He has promised his father to look for a wife. His working at a trade is absolutely scandalous to the ton and The titled! He's another nonconformist!
ARC Received from Author and Amazon Free📚.
These opinions are my own.
The contrast between Charlotte's two suitors could not be more glaring! I loved this story but the characters had some trouble saying what they really meant in some passages where honesty was essential. Too much PC and false politeness.

The Secret Plan for a Lady's Liberation, by Abigail Agar.
Authors are always asking reviewers for "honest" reviews. Okay. Here it is. I'm not sure I liked this book. That's partly because I frequently wanted to kick the protagonists Lady Charlotte Grant and Lord Ewan Conrad right in the you-know-where for their assumed beliefs about one another (in spite of initial attraction), and partly because I think the story dragged on too long.
Abigail Agar has written a number of other Regency Romances, all of which I have enjoyed. But there was something about this one that really put me off. However, this is not a critical review. Upon consideration, I realized that the author may have created this tale based on the stifling conventions of Regency life to emphasize the fact that aristocratic marriages of the time were almost always about title, family, and succession rather than love and understanding.
In short, Charlotte is betrothed by her stuffy, insensitive parents to a nobleman she abhors. Much of the book tells how she (and her dear friend Lydia) plan to escape the toils of such a marriage. In fact, when they manage to do so it seems everything will come to a happy conclusion.
But not so fast. The revenge of the slighted betrothed, Lord Felton Seymour, is too despicable to describe--and he nearly gets away with it. It is only because Charlotte's true lover, Lord Conrad, finally comes to his senses and refuses to believe the gossip that has surrounded the willful Charlotte that she escapes being "outed" forever.
This is not only a novel of manners but one of gossip and how damaging it can be to one's reputation. This is still true today. Look at the nonsensical scandals that seem to surround the Royals from time to time. The gossiping public is often only too willing to believe a lot of nonsense about titled aristocrats and loves to harbor tales of scandal about them. Imagine what it must have been like in Regency times when codes of conduct were much more rigid than they are today.
So, in spite of my "honest" beginning, I give this novel five stars. It dragged me through it protesting every word, but at least left me feeling the evil participants in the gossipy scandals (some of which were setups) got their just deserts. I have to admire a writer who can make me hate a book, at the same time as she gives me a painful lesson in manners, and admit that, yes, it was a good, if reluctant, read.

It is an enjoyable entertaining read although it is a little drawn out for my taste. I kept putting it down and coming back to it. If I absolutely love a book, I read it straight through. This book had its share of emotional drama. The heroine, Charlotte is an outspoken young lady whose parents try to rein in. Felton bamboozles his way into Charlotte's parents’ good graces and becomes engaged to her against her will. All so he can inherit her father's noble title and parliamentary seat. Felton is a slimy weasel and was well written to portray the perfect villain. I liked Charlotte's new best friend Lucy. Lucy had a sunny optimistic attitude. She is naive and thanks to Charlotte's brazen attitude it gave her the strength to face what she wanted in life. Our hero, Ewan, was a little slow on the uptake with his response to his feelings for Charlotte. His character was written with the thought of him being a gentleman and a successful businessman. His career choice went against society at large as he was the heir to a dukedom and did not have to work. But I admire the fact that since he was little, he wanted to explore the world and experience the wonders contained therein. He also wanted to build his own fortune much to the dismay of his parents and the ton. He was treated unkindly. Gossip followed him everywhere because he did not conform to the established norms. It was sad that both Charlotte and Ewan both had parents that were emotionally unavailable, not demonstrative or loving. They were strict disciplinarians according to social norms. Both Charlotte and Ewan had the same outlook when it came to living. They would never be satisfied with the status quo and would strive to do things their own way. If you have leisurely time this is a great book to snuggle up with.

Charlotte Grant’s parents are in dire straits financially and have agreed to marry her to Lord Felton Seymour, a nasty, arrogant, but extremely wealthy social climber. They want his money and he wants their title. Charlotte definitely doesn’t want Seymour and isn’t sure she even wants marriage. She requests and is given a Season in London with the announcement of her betrothal kept a secret until the end of the Season so she can figure out how to thwart her parents’ plans.
Lord Ewan Conrad is handsome, rich and the heir to a duke, but what he wants is the challenge of business, specifically import/export. A duke’s heir does not enter business and no reputable debutant would want to marry him. Until he meets Charlotte, a whole different kind of debutant.
The idea of the story is interesting – how is Charlotte going to get out of marrying the despicable Seymour. But the story drags and there are too many typos – Ewan watching “houses” driving down the street pulling carriages, for example. And while it is apparently set in the 1890s (Ewan refers to seeing the Eiffel Tower in Paris, which was erected in 1887), much of the language and opinions are late 20th century, early 21st century – “All I’m saying.”, “It’s show time.”, “Sorry about that”, “he’s not into me” “wonky cobblestone. Charlotte’s soliloquies sound like something a modern teenager would say. Her treatment of Ewan is rude. She doesn’t trust her friend Lydia enough to tell her about the secret betrothal. And, while I understand her parents have financial issues, only one servant as housekeeper, doorkeeper, lady’s maid and general maid is odd, since most families have at least a woman and man servant in residence.
All in all, I can’t really recommend this book. It just didn’t work for me.

Wonderful story

Let the games begin.... between backbiting debutantes and her parents trying to keep her on track Charlotte has her hands full. Her first dance partner of the season is Lord Conrad and she feels an instant connection. Lord Conrad has his own pressure from his parents and trying to start his own import/export company. With everyone questioning his choices will he be able to see Charlotte for what she truly is or believe what a few deceitful people say about her.

Abigail Agar once again writes a very good regency romance. There are the usual prerequisites for this type of book, and they are all covered in this book! Lady Charlotte Grand has parents that are in financial straits, and they see her as their way out, thus “marketing” her to a man with a title. Unfortunately, that man is not what she is looking for in a husband. And she is not in any hurry to be married off anyway. Enter Lord Ewan Conrad, who also is not sure that marriage is something that he wants to enter into, as he would much rather become a businessman, which is unheard of for a Lord. The story carries us through all the ups and downs of a London Season of young women being put into the marriage market. Its an enjoyable book, with character frustrations, drama and love throughout. Lord Felton Seymour’s villainous character adds the required intrigue, and is a truly unlikable fellow. I received an ARC of this book in return for an honest review, of which this has been.

Disturbing word choices.
The story was good but the grammar, descriptive phrases, and too much modern vernacular distracted me too much! Some of the mind pictures evoked by the word choices were disturbing. When he put his "mighty hands" on her shoulders I thought she would be crushed! Storms rattled and parasols flopped! Those are just a few examples. Another problem is establishing the time period through male and female dress as well as transportation. I thought it was a regency, but trains hadn't become established yet. I like the authors books because they are sweet and clean. She doesn't base attraction on degree of sexual arousal and that is so refreshing!!! It's not so much the sex scenes in those books that bother me as much as the emphasis on physical attraction as a measure of love! Abigail Agar's character s are more complex and discerning.

I found this story enchanting, but there are moments that are quite unbelievable. How Lord Conrad dealt with things was strange and made for completely awkward moments. Charlotte was so self absorbed with her situation that she couldn't understand that if she gave Lord Conrad her heart to him her parents would probably relent from the forced marriage to Lord Felton. They really only wanted an heir to their title. What I don't understand is why parents have to be written to be the bad guys in these type of novels? I read the extended epilogue for the novel and it's really just your basic happily ever after with everyone getting what they want, except the bad guy, Lord Felton. This is not one of Abigails Agar's best works.

Don't bother
I received this book free from one of the book sites. I do not remember which one! This is my honest and voluntary review.
This book had a great idea, but it fell flat. I didn't even bother with the extended epilogue because I was not invested in the characters. The language was too modern for the time. Where are the books that used the romantic language? This book needs a thorough re-write, something that grabs the reader's attention & runs with it. This book just doesn't seem to work with the time it is suppose to be written either. Wedding dresses in white were not the rage until Victorian times. Oh well, at least I should be able to sleep now.

Her parents have pursued this, but they are willing to listen when she asks for a season in London before the wedding is to take place. So naturally, she meets someone with whom she has an immediate attraction. This newest book by Abigail Agar takes a look at this love triangle that has developed. Full of action, interesting plots, if course love and some interesting characters. An enjoyable and page turning read.

This is a great read that starts strong and continues to the end. Lady Charlotte is strong willed young woman who knows what she want and it isn't the man her parents have arranged for her to marry. She goes to London for the season and meet Lord Ewan Conrad who doesn't want to just sit around with a Title, but want to run his own business. There is intrigue, misunderstandings, deceit, friendship and love. I enjoyed the friendship that developed between Charlotte and Lydia.

Great Read
This is a heart rendering story that hurt my heart with such horribly unloving cold parents. However, the spunk & tenacity with respect that Charlotte displayed made my heart glad. Charlotte met her match in the handsome Lord Ewan Conrad & they captured each other's heart. They faced deception by others of low character trying to compromise them. The epilogue brought all the plot together with a Happy ending. Good job Abigail.

Lord Edwin hunts for a companion for the sKe of his mother even though he would rather be dealing with his import export business and traveling the world. Read all the great adventures of this season

I enjoyed the story, but was very irritated by the lack of knowledge of what a London Society was like. The lack of chaperones, the gathering of the debutantes into a room prior to a "party". The parring off of couples, and dancing repeated dances at the same event, with the same partner. These were all against the "English Season's Society Rules".

Suspenseful tale of love hoped for, thwarted, and finally gained
Charlotte and Colin are realistic, interesting characters, as are the wealth of active characters in this story. Friendship, loyalty, courage, and love are sabotaged by selfishness, anxiety around new love, a scheming malicious neighbor and his lackeys, deception, competition, and the cruely malicious gossip of Londen Society during the Season. After many road blocks, the HEA arrives.

A well-written story of secrets, deceit, forced betrothal, a villain, and romance, a story I enjoyed reading. This is Lady Charlotte Grand and Lord Ewan Conrad's story and everything they have to go through to get a happy ending. A story that flows smoothly from page to page and held my interest until the end.

Will they or won't they
Charlotte is in a difficult position that will ruin her life. She sets out to free herself from the trap. There are some slow parts and I would have liked to see Ewan and Charlotte and less with the drama of her unwanted fiance. The conclusion more than made up for it.

Excellent
Well done story. Dipped into the importance of title held and to be passed on. Also delved into the dislike of business in the titled society. Presented very enjoyable with characters to love or hate.

Great
Wonderful story , as usual , from Ms. Agar ! All of her books are quite good and usually has a suspense factor , wondering if they'll make the right choice and always clean so I don't have to skip over stuff.

Much Needed Liberation
Charlotte was a daughter under the thumb of her parents. She was promised for marriage to a man she couldn't stomach. How could she defy her parents and marry a man she truly loved?
Highly recommended!

To my shame, I read this book to the end. Not quite sure why I endured a Victorian era story in modern terminology. If this is an example of the author’s writings, I will not be selecting more of her works.

I enjoyed reading this book. But I’m disappointed in the ending. All we got is “it’s us in two weeks” that’s not enough. Show us some love between the hero and the heroine. The HEA is implied. I’d like to read about it at least in the Epilogue
