The heroine is a triffle plain but it isn't enough to warrant ending up on the plain heroine shelf. I liked the angst and misunderstanding, though I wish there had been more time devoted to setting the story up and diving deeper into the H and h's respective backstories. This might have been better as a full-length novel, but still, I liked it. (3.5 stars) ( ) I read this book when it was titled In Need of a Duke and it doesn;t lose anything in the re-reading. It is difficult to be a young woman who is responsible for saving her family from financial ruin. As such, Aldora must make a good marriage with someone with a respectable title as well as a fortune. Aldora is a strong, independent female character who knows what needs to be done and goes after it. She is willing to sacrifice her happiness to save her family - even if she can't have a marriage for love she still have hopes that she can give her younger siblings that option. Michael, the brother of a Marquess is surrounded by scandal but he has been working to change his life and although he might never be accepted by the ton he has made his own fortune and is an honorable man. Between the two is the Marquess of St James. He is the target of Aldora's husband hunt and Michael's brother. When he begins to pay attention to Aldora she should be excited but she has already started to have feelings for his brother. The three manage to sort things out to allow Aldora to find her Happily Ever After. This is a quick read with a delightful story line and characters that you can't help but love. Well worth a first or second read. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
