Montague Cavendish, the Duke of Devonshire, is being
pressured to wed by a codicil in his grandfather's will. His time is running
out to find a suitable bride, but none of the young ladies on the marriage mart
appeal to him. He turns to his best friend, Harry aka Lady Harriet Stanhope,
for advice. Harry has been by his side since they were children and she is
always the one to calm him down and offer good advice. Harry has loved Monty
for as long as she can remember, but Monty doesn't view her as a woman and
suitable bride. She takes a risk to capture his heart, but will it backfire and
separate her from Monty forever?
This was a short and easy read although not much happens. First,
I loved the cover and it’s what drew me to the book, however, I wasn't in love
with either Harry or Monty especially since the biggest obstacle in the story
is their own stubbornness to say what's in the hearts. I found Harry's actions
that lead to the scandal totally out of character for a gently bred young lady
and then her actions concerning Monty after the scandal broke was
uncharacteristic for someone who always faced any obstacle head on. Not sure if
I'll read any more stories in this series.
I voluntarily read this advanced reader copy and all
opinions are my own.
