DESCRIPTION
Her heart belongs to her pen—until a marriage of convenience rewrites her story.
Lady Fortuity Abarough has always been the plain one of the Broadmere sisters, but she never let it bother her. It was always the gossips who took issue with her looks, not her beloved family. And it’s better to know that any suitor would be interested only in her dowry. After all, forewarned is forearmed. Thankfully, her parents’ will grants her the right to marry for love, and she’s steadfast to do just that. And if it never happens? So be it. At least she still has her writing. Yet her brother, Chance, the new Duke of Broadmere, is relentless in pushing her toward the altar. After all, he can’t inherit the full of the estate until all seven sisters are married—happily and in love matches.
When Viscount Matthew Ravenglass, a dear friend and the man she secretly loves, catches her jotting down notes at a ball as research for her stories, her secret is laid bare. In a moment of trust, she confides her lifelong dream of becoming a published author and seeing her name on the title page of her books. Rather than laughing at her as she expected, he offers his help since he is well connected in the publishing industry. Of course, that makes her love him even more.
But their friendship takes an unexpected turn when his meddling cousin sets a trap and leaves them no choice but to marry. Fortuity, however, insists on a marriage in name only. Her heart can’t bear the thought of a union consummated out of duty rather than love. She knows Matthew swore he would never marry after being jilted at the altar by his first love. And how many times has he told her they could never be more than friends? As they navigate this delicate arrangement, Matthew begins to realize his feelings for Fortuity go far beyond friendship. Yet, with returning ghosts of his past and deep-seated trust issues, their journey to happily ever after is fraught with uncertainty.
For readers who cherish tales of unrequited love, hidden desires, and the triumph of the heart, this story of Fortuity and Matthew is a captivating exploration of love, loyalty, and the courage to forge one’s own destiny no matter what Society dictates.
REVIEW
Lady Fortuity Abarough is the Broadmere sister that caught my interest in Blessing’s Baron, Book 1 of Seven Unsuitable Sisters. Studious smart women always intrigue me. Her character is straightforward, secure intellectually, insecure with her looks, and with a twist of stubbornness. Such a cool package in one character. Fortuity takes us through a merry chase as she fights for her beliefs and desires for her life.
Viscount Matthew Ravenglass is a friend of the family and Fortuity has loved him secretly for years, but he doesn’t believe in love or marriage. Watching him deal with Fortuity and a marriage he thought he didn’t want was delightful.
Ravenglass’s cousin, who had a prominent role as troublemaker in the first book, plays a main roll in this book causing more problems with her viper personality. Every book needs an evil doer, and she takes the cake.
The author’s storyline was fun, creative, and satisfying.
