Pages: 384
Format: eARC
Sir Richard Kenworthy has less than a month to find a bride. He knows he can't be too picky, but when he sees Iris Smythe-Smith hiding behind her cello at her family's infamous musicale, he thinks he might have struck gold. She's the type of girl you don't notice until the secondâor thirdâlook, but there's something about her, something simmering under the surface, and he knows she's the one.
Iris SmytheâSmith is used to being underestimated. With her pale hair and quiet, sly wit she tends to blend into the background, and she likes it that way. So when Richard Kenworthy demands an introduction, she is suspicious. He flirts, he charms, he gives every impression of a man falling in love, but she can't quite believe it's all true. When his proposal of marriage turns into a compromising position that forces the issue, she can't help thinking that he's hiding something . . . even as her heart tells her to say yes.

Please note:
This review is going to be short because my laptop crashed and with it went the reviews amongst other things I had written, I’m writing this from my kindle. I’m told that I can get all my data from the hard drive or something anyhoo since I’ll get that hopefully by tomorrow and I’ll update this with my proper review. For now this will have to do.
ReviewÂ
What I loved: Iris, she was a wonderful heroine. It’s not often that you find a heroine like her.Â
Quibbles: I say this a lot when it comes to stories with secrets or deception (in this case from the hero) they should grovel more and in my opinion Iris should have made him wait longer for her forgiveness. I wanted the Quinn humor that I loved in the first book of the series instead I got a lot of angst which to be honest I rarely enjoy these days.Â
Overall, this was an okay read but I do enjoy and like Julia Quinn’s writing and the way her characters can seem so real. Happy Reading!Â

Yes, like the reviewer, I prefer humor to a lot of angst in my historical romances, but there is almost always some angst in historical romances…they are noted for that along with their witty dialogue and merry chases for courtships. And I do like Julia’s writing style. So even if this story were not to be a fave of mine, I’m still gonna read it…it’s definitely on my TBR list ’cause I want to find out how Richards covers his *** after withholding secrets so long from Iris.
