TW: Fatphobia/Fat Shaming

Part of the Marquess’ reasoning for wanting a matchmaker is that his father wants him to marry a fat *gasp* heiress. Nothing is said about her talents, personality, or other attributes.

Anyway, he falls in love with a suitably conventionally attractive woman, and all is right with the world.

Anyway, I liked the premise and story of this book. But I didn’t love that the hero wouldn’t have been able to stand marrying a woman who weighed more than him.

Wonderful!

Narration is spot on. Storyline is great. It is best to read them in order although it isn't really necessary. You are able to follow along with each character if you do.

A persistent Marquess

I LOVE guys with the persistence of the hero in this book, so needless to say I liked his character immediately. He tried to better himself to deserve the heroine. His chase for a rich heiress changed to one of defiance against a powerful and controlling father and his desire to be independent and self-sufficient for the woman he loved. The love scenes were not as passionate as I would have hoped and the language was mixed with modern terminologies. That aside the storyline was cute and the hero really made the book.

Just ok.

It was a fun read although it dragged a bit in some parts.
I really like Susan Ericksen's narration so she added to my enjoyment of the book.

Cold-hearted Lady Vs Rakish Marquess

After I finished with "How To Lose A Duke In Ten Days" the second audio of American Heiress in London series, I decided to venture the first audio of the series and I'm glad to spend my credit on this. The story kept me fascinating till the end with excellent plotting plus excellent narrator bring the story so much entertaining.

Hate the narrator. Story is good.

Struggled to finish listening to this narrator. I will remember to look to avoid her in future.
Story was interesting.
