Lord Aaron Lyle has one hell of a choice: a bankrupt dukedom, or marriage to some simpering society miss so his spendthrift father can get his hands on her huge dowry. He won’t do it. He has a reputation to maintain, and besides, he’d rather run naked through the streets of London than marry anyone at all. Surely, there must be a third option.
Then Lady Crystal Wilding walks into his life, a bluestocking, full of subversive thoughts, who hates the notion of marriage even more than he does. He is intrigued...and suddenly he has an idea. He invites the totally unsuitable lady home on the pretext of presenting her as a possible match...but in truth, Aaron has something far more pleasurable in mind. For her part, Lady Crystal has her own reasons for going along with his harebrained scheme.
Imagine their shock when his highly proper family loves her and starts planning the wedding. Good lord. Now what?

Really enjoyed this historical romance. The author has created a character in the heroine who is both innocent and feisty. I loved that. I also really liked the hero and it was interesting to get the male perspective of also being forced into a marriage he didn't want.
Very enjoyable read with great ...more

It was such a delight to read this book. I read it in one sitting, not necessarily because of its short length, but because I was so mesmerized by the characters, their story and their fun conversations. It’s one of those books that can offer a great reading time.

I loved it! It's a story about two unconventional people trying to fight what society expected of them. Lady Crystal Wilding is no meek lady. She has opinions and she isn't afraid of voicing them. Her sole purpose in life is to champion women's education and much-needed freedom. Lord Aaron Lyle is j ...more

Cathleen Ross's first Regency romance is absolutely wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed this delightful tale and everything about its engaging hero, a swoon-worthy marquis who is torn between duty and following his heart’s desire, and a feisty, outspoken bluestocking. Lady Crystal Wilding is well-drawn, ...more
I was amused from the very beginning where Lord Lyle and Lady Crystal meet right before she's set to give a talk. He insults her before realizing she's the speaker. Her speech further intrigues him. He's determined to get to know her better.
He has to get married. She has no plans of giving up her f ...more
Wow! This was an incredible story, at first I thought it may be boring, but I was so wrong. The depth was fantastic and the emotions so real. The hero was pretty foolish, but men can be quite foolish when it comes to infatuation and passion. So in reality it was realistic.
I liked that the heroine, d ...more
Aaron is an open minded Lord. Crystal has views that a lot of men don't agree with. Seems like the perfect couple to me. Aaron just has to persuade Crystal and his father that they should marry.
I love how Aaron showed that he respects and honors Crystal over and over again. ...more

A delightful and entertaining read. Orphaned, Lady Crystal has a low opinion of men and of marriage. Lacking her father’s control, she is apt to do as she pleases. She has many progressive ideas, and being tied in marriage, to a man she hardly knows is not one of them. After a speaking engagement at ...more

Another page-turning story from Ms Ross. In fact, I think it's her best yet and hope she writes more historical romances. I loved her feisty, take-no-prisoners, blue-stocking heroine. Lady Crystal. Lord Aaron proved a worthy match, and I really loved his conflict! Both characters are ahead of their ...more
What a fabulous book! Cathleen Ross has written a brilliantly strong, smart heroine who is driven by a need to help other women. There was so much to be admired about her character, if she was flesh and blood I’d love to count her as a friend.
And who could fail to fall in love with such a determined ...more
First book by this author. Very enjoyable. I'm beginning to really like historical romances.
The heroine is somewhat naive but very fiesty. The hero interestingly need and wants his freedom too and has to fight for it, just as the heroine is fighting for hers. An interesting read. ...more
It was my first eBook, I found it easy to read and I very much enjoyed this book.
I was captivated and taken back in time and could really envisage myself being there, feeling being forced into a marriage I would not want to be in. Picturing the looks on the gentlemans faces, listening to a strong o ...more
