3 of 5 stars
Alexander, the newly
elevated Marquis of Exeter, arrives home from his Grand Tour to find his mother
has run off to marry again, leaving his 2 young sisters with a governess.
Alexander always thought he'd have time to learn how to manage his estates, but
with his father's sudden death, he's like a fish out of water. The only bright
spot is his neighbor Lady Dorie who has been helping out with his sisters and
the estate management while he made his way home to England. Alexander needs a
wife and fast. He's attracted to Dorie's skills, but she wants a love match
before she marries. Can Alexander convince her she's more than just an expert
in estate management before she marries another?
I usually love Ms. Quinn's
books, but this one was rather boring and the slow burn between Alexander and
Dorie got tedious after a while. The only obstacle in their way was Dorie's
doubts of Alexander's intentions. I kept waiting for some kind of twist in the
story and I did manage to read it to the end, but it took a few days. While
this book wasn't my favorite, I'm looking forward to reading Ms. Quinn's next
release.
I voluntarily read a
advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
