Publisher's summary

A love match would not do. She would make an advantageous matcha brilliant match!

At the age of nineteen, Lady Dorothea Rowlandson was practically on the shelf. Had she not suffered her father, the earl’s, untimely death weeks before last year’s season, she would surely by now be a married lady—the established wife of an illustrious peer. With such a regrettable delay, time was ever more of the essence if she wished to secure her own future and that of her sisters.

Miles Shaw holds an encumbered estate. It is only logical, therefore, that he commence the London Season on the hunt for a well-dowered wife. His personal code of honor requires he be upfront about this goal, so that he deceives no one. And as he fully intends to love and cherish the wife of his choosing, he will naturally bring as much to the union as he receives. After all, he is a landed gentleman with no shortage of charm.

When chance forced Miles and Dorothea to partner one another for the first dance of the first crush of the season, Fortuna could only have been in a funning mood. To have fostered so unsuitable a connection was nothing short of absurd. For what could a peer of the realm’s daughter and a gentleman of no consequence, with his pockets to let, possibly have in common?

Simply Delightful!

I honestly sat down and finished this book all in one day. That so seldom ever happens for me…Or that I even have the opportunity to do so. I loved it because I grew to know the characters without any real interruptions.

Miles was absolutely charming and endearing from the very beginning. He has a truly kind heart and earnest disposition. Even in the midst of difficulties, he maintains a strength of character and self worth.

Dorothea was a bit harder to warm to - but it was wonderful to see her through Miles’ eyes and thus begin to understand and appreciate the woman behind the practiced exterior…and also to witness the walls come down even as she struggled to maintain them.

I enjoyed getting to really know many of the supporting characters, including Sophia and “Dorry’s” other siblings — especially EVO! Miles’ mom was sweet and his cousin Rock stole my heart. I’m hoping to hear their stories in future books by Ms. Goutet!

Overall I definitely give this one 5 stars. In addition I listened to some of the story on Audible and the narration was delightfully done by Stevie Zimmerman.

Really enjoyed the story, never bored!

Great historical romance, very much in line with pride and prejudice style. Highly recommend you read it.
