10 things I love about this book by Kathy Wheeler.
This book proves how much fun Ms. Quinn is because one: the hero is infectious and light, which two: makes it impossible to not love him, while three: bringing to the forefront the heart of how one can disguise one’s anxiety under four: the guise of humor and charm.
A conflict so choking had me five: dying to read as fast as I could, but six: not wanting to skip a single word. So, seven: had me smelling the roses along the way, and eight: laughing aloud and calling my friends to tell them, nine: “You have to read this book.” Don’t wait! Ten: It’s in stores now.
Annabel is a country girl born and bred. Since her father’s death, and as the eldest child, it’s imperative that she marry quickly—for money. She had seven siblings, for heaven sake. Not so unusual the situation for the time period, I suppose. However, the earl selected for her was older than her grandmother. She tried not to resent being chosen for her child-bearing hips. Really, she did. It was just a shame the earl turned out to be the hero’s uncle who, as it just so happened, despise him.
Sebastian is in the precarious position of being heir apparent to the earl. And in society’s eyes, Sebastian Grey is, quite frankly a moocher. His chronic insomnia has him up and out of the house most days by the crack of dawn breakfasting at his cousin’s home or club. Even the unexpected sounds of gunfire shake him to the core. Not-so-hero like qualities.
Witty dialogue and charming characters spells success for Ms Quinn’s newest novel.
