Unequal Match

by Rachelle Edwards

SNATCHED FROM A SQUALID FATE BY A HANDSOME MARQUIS! SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY....But alas, the impoverished Verena Barrington could not exult in a marriage forced on her and her groom to settle a gambling debt. She little wondered when the Marquis of Stafford sequestered her at his country estate and took himself off to Europe, to forget his sullen bride.The marquis's aunt Harriet did not see the situation as quite so dire, and under her tutelage Verena blossomed into a beautiful and intelligent marchioness. Stafford returned to find the creature he tried to ignore Verena was a wife to be reckoned with--and so was her distinctly dangerous beau....

Reviews

[Preeti ♥︎ Her Bookshelves · Rating 3 out of 5]

This Georgian has a great premise, right?
But you know, they meet like probably 4 times in two and a half years - twice before and twice now in the present!
And we are to believe this love and hea?

Actually, it's a short-ish quick read with lots of drama happening, so not all bad...

[HistoricalHussy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not a drop of romance to be found and an H who remains a dbag almost throughout the novel, all of which is a major disappointment considering what an interesting premise and otherwise good writing. Wasted potential 🫠

[Su · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not much development towards undying love. They hardly spent time together (about six times) to make the love believable. The story ended abruptly.

[MaryD · Rating 2 out of 5]

The first half wasn't too bad, but the second half was rather limp.
