Book Description

Publication Date: 2 Jun 2005

When the new Lady Cardross begins to fill her days with fashion and frivolity, the Earl has to wonder whether she did really only marry him for his money, as his family so helpfully suggests. And now Nell doesn't dare tell him the truth...

What with the concern over his wife's heart and pocket, sorting out her brother's scrapes and trying to prevent his own half sister from eloping, it is no wonder that the much-tried Earl almost misses the opportunity to smooth the path of true love in his marriage ...

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not her very best 6 Mar 2007
By Elizabeth Trigg
Format:Paperback
I enjoyed this story very much like most of this author's work. By the end of it, you will be convinced that trying to sweep problems under the carpet is a very bad idea indeed! Once again the minor characters are brilliantly drawn. The exchanges between Nell, her immaculate cousin-in-law Felix, and her inebriated brother had me laughing out loud. One tiny gripe - Apart from being a spendthrift, Nell is a bit of a goody-two-shoes. I so wanted her to shout back at her husband when he makes an outrageous accusation against her.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Touch of Reality at Last 21 April 2008
By Isabel Birney
Format:Paperback
This is an interesting and thoughtful book,in which Heyer gets closer to the realities of a woman's life in Georgian England. Girls were frequently expected to marry for the sake of their family - both in Georgian England and later. (Consider Consueloe Vanderbilt and her disastrous marriage to the Duke of Marlborough in Edwardian times.)The book is not the usual Regency romp but an exploration of the adjustments people have to make in order for a marriage to be a success. Nell is very young, romantic and foolish at the start of the book. Her new husband is emotionally unintelligent. She has to learn to make decisions for herself and not for the sake of her mother or her profligate brother. Her husband has to grow up in a different way. They learn to understand each other during the course of the book and as each changes and matures the possibility for real love and mutual respect become more likely. So there isn't the usual 'happy ever after' ending but there is the possibility that these two may make a good and honest marriage after a disastrous start. This is an interesting and thoughtful book - and, in places, a very amusing and entertaining one.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favourite Heyer Book! 23 April 2006
By A. Knox
Format:Paperback
I couldn't put this book down when I first read it and it has continued to delight me.

Parts of it almost read like a farce: Lady Cardross owes her dressmaker money but feels she can't ask her husband for it as he has already cleared a backlog of her debts and she promised him there were no more...added to this, she thinks that their marriage was not a 'love match' but that batchelorhood had ceased to be an option for much older Lord Cardross and he had asked for her hand not for love, but procreation.

Add to this an impulsive brother and his half-brained friend who decide to help Lady Cardross out of her difficulties and the stage is set for a very funny book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Heyer
Another classic Heyer regency romance which should appeal to anyone who's a fan of her normal books or indeed who likes a bit of lighthearted romance novel.
