‘So you advise me to take a wife? ‘Yes, my lord, I do.’ ‘Then, ma’am, will you do me the honour of accepting my name and whatever fortune might come my way?’
To her utter amazement, Miss Julienne-Eve Lawrence hears herself saying, ‘Yes, my lord. I will.’ The new Lord Rotherham desperately needs to produce an heir to gain his rightful inheritance, for his grandfather has left a fortune to whichever of his grandsons first has a son.
The prospect of the dim-witted Sir Trevor, Rotherham’s cousin, inheriting all is too appalling to consider, so this is one race Julienne-Eve is determined to help her new husband to win!
Can a marriage of convenience survive distrust on both sides? It is sometimes hard to decide if Ormsby is more than a skillful writer. Some of her sentences are more than just echoes of Heyer - they are lifted right from Heyer!
the first 100 pages where really boring and did not hold my attione. it take me 4 days to read them. as they where boring with not much intration between the hero and heroine. at about 120 the book picked up and became more intesting. finnale turning in to a kiddnapping and escape. i did not enjoy this book at all really and don't think the hero and heroine spent enough time together. i am just not happy with it. i would give this a 1.5 stars out of 5 if not for the ending which was good so it gose up to 3 out of 5 stars sorry but still the hero and heroine i just don't see it.
The story was BORING. The author took a lot of liberties with the source material, and used lines from Pride and Prejudice when it was completely unnecessary. There was a distinct lack of believable romance.
The cover is pretty (it's giving Wuthering Heights) so I will keep it on my shelf purely for aesthetic reasons.
