DESCRIPTION

He doesn’t wed them—he beds them. Except for her. Or so he hopes.

Lady Blessing is about to fill her brother’s bed with frogs. It doesn’t matter that he’s the newest Duke of Broadmere. What matters is that the fool is determined to marry her off as quickly as possible so he can access the entirety of the family’s coffers. She has no interest in marrying. Up until Papa died, she did as she pleased, pursuing her interest in astronomy. But now that mourning for her father has officially ended, her ridiculous brother insists she spend her nights attending parties instead of studying the skies.

Lord Thorne Knightwood is a confirmed rake and enjoys other men’s wives—immensely so. He swore off marriage long ago as a guarantee of never becoming like his father. But then he comes upon the incomparable Lady Blessing, a beauty more intent on studying the stars than filling her dance card. This newest darling of the ton tempts him to rethink his future. Except she ignores him. Tells him to go away. No woman ever tells him to go away.

Even though Blessing knows Thorne beds them but never weds them, she finds his persistence and creativity to get her attention impossible to ignore. And he likes cats. Another point in his favor. But just as things become delightful, his past comes crashing in and could prove fatal—not only for their relationship, but for him.

REVIEW

The opening to this book made me laugh and feel sympathy for Chance the new Duke of Broadmere who has to marry all six of his sisters before getting his inheritance. One can’t feel much sympathy for him because all he did was party and not take on any serious responsibilities until both parents were deceased. But I will admit to some glee over how he will be forced to be responsible.

I loved the variety of personalities in the six sisters. All complex, different, and very before their time in their thinking. Their parents would be the type of parents I would have wished for in that era. The portrayal of their closeness reminds me of my childhood and my five siblings. While the author’s portrayal of the siblings’ closeness and differences is handled in a believable manner there are times when I thought it was a little too perfect between the six sisters. But I do feel sorry for Chance and his mission to wed six sisters against their will. If he survives this then I am sure he can survive anything.

Lord Thorne Knightwood wants Lady Blessing but his indiscretions are a problem for her. She wants true love and trust is a big part of that. For someone who only likes married woman I found it amusing and sad that his past is keeping him from his happily ever after. The reader will have a deep understanding and compassion of both of their positions and insecurities about each other.

Throughout the book I found it lighthearted and fun with areas where I laughed out loud at the sisters’ antics. I recommend this book for anyone who wants a light hearted and delightful read with a sprinkle of humor to make you laugh.
