![]() ![]() Things started off well, if not a little bit heavy with the describing of looks and then frequent mentions of luscious lips, golden eyes, and enticing smelling skin. A little confusing and the story definitely hurt for lack of pages. Grace and Oliver must decide if money or love is the path to true happiness.įirst off, I have to bring up the fact that this did not feel like a full length novel, the first in this series was labeled a novella at 180pgs while this one is being called a full length novel at 106pgs. The problem is that Oliver has his own dire issues to deal with, his father bankrupted the earldom, his bestfriend is catatonic, and now he is battling a serious attraction to a penniless American. When he spies Grace regulated to the corner like a wallflower, he appoints himself her savior. Oliver, the Earl of Carlisle, is back from the Napoleonic Wars and hasn't quite shed his hero cloak. Unfortunately, without a respectable dowry the ton is looking down their aristocratic noses at Grace and the seedier gentleman are dogging her steps while making bets at White's about who will tup her first. Her mother is deathly ill back home in America and her grandparents are miserly generally all around horrible people Grace's situation is a bit dire you could say. Yankee Grace has traveled to England to secure, hopefully, a monetary advantageous match. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. ![]()
