Excellent dialogue and sensual scenes,
By Tobi2772 (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love with the Proper Husband (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a great story with two wonderful and believable characters. The secondary story of the orphaned girls runs on a bit as does Marcus's best friend but the scenes between Marcus and Gwen are wonderful.

Warm, witty and delightful,
By Trisha A. Howell "Howell Canyon Press author" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Love with the Proper Husband (Mass Market Paperback)
Love With the Proper Husband is warm, witty and delightful. It is fast-paced, unfailingly entertaining and full of thoroughly lovable characters.Penniless Miss Gwendolyn Townsend is called back to England from the post she loathes as a governess in America. She is thrilled to find out that she has a small legacy and that she will have a fortune if she does just one thing. Unfortunately, the one thing turns out to be to marry Marcus Holcroft, Earl of Pennington, a man she considers insufferably arrogant. Besides, she has no desire to marry anyone now that she finally has the means to be independent. 11 of 12 people found the following review helpful:

Delightful and Witty,
By M. Rondeau - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Love with the Proper Husband (Mass Market Paperback)
The very formidable matriarchs of the ton in 1820 regency England had formed a society to preserve the British nobility etc., which was in fact a group of concerned mama's who wanted their errant sons and heirs to get off their duff's, marry suitable girls and produce the next heirs. Through some very adept maneuvers, the very first casualty was to be Marcus Holcroft, the Earl of Pennington.Miss Gwendolyn Townsend, having been born female, had, at the demise of her father, lost her home and all she held dear to a distant male cousin. Having been told this news by an overzealous young attorney she had departed immediately to make her way as a governess - a position she was not very good at. Once she had been tracked down and recalled to England by her fathers solicitors, she was apprised of several things, 1) she had been left a modest inheritance, 2) a small but lovely house, and 3) an arranged husband - should she so desire - the husband that is. Marcus had found out that same day that his father had arranged for him to marry his dear old friends daughter, Gwendolyn, and should he not be married by the time he reached the age of 30 - in less than 3 months - he would lose his entire fortune! This was such an amusing story with some very funny dialog that I virtually flew through the book - it was that hard to put down! The by-play between the two central characters was delightful and the numerous secondary characters was brilliantly done as I especially loved Marcus' friend Reggie and his very droll sense of humor at Marcus' expense. The three orphaned nieces of Gwendolyn were priceless as `out of the mouths of babes' comments went right to the heart of the matter in so many instances. This was a lovely, and very enjoyable book that I can and do heartily recommend. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful:

Sweet, Sensual & Delightful!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Love with the Proper Husband (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved this book. It was pure fun to read.I've read hundreds of romances and this book was so nice. It was a real "feel good" story. I hope Victoria Alexander writes many more. It made me happy instead of aggravated like some authors do, yet it was suspenseful and hard to put down. If you like Julia Quinn, you will like this one. |
