This novel lacks the sophistication that JQ develops further down the line, but Charles and Ellie are so sweet and likeable that you hardly notice. (  ) RogueBelle | Jul 10, 2009 |  A take on the standard marriage of convenience story, with quite funny characters. I liked how the plot didn't hinge on misunderstandings, rather it is a sweet story of two people getting to know each other. My goodness, what a rotten cover! Thank goodness this was an ebook, or I'd have had to fight off nausea while reading. ( ) francescadefreitas | Aug 13, 2008 | Second and final book in Lyndon Sisters series. I like Ellie. She is a very strong female character who only got married because it served her purposes. Of course, it was to a drunk guy that fell out of a tree... (  ) phyllisd | May 9, 2008 | Julia Quinn is one of my favorite romance authors, and this was pretty good, with interesting characters, but it definitely dragged a bit towards the end. Still a good read, though. ( ) allthesedarnbooks | Mar 25, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
When Charles Wycombe, the dashing and incorrigible Earl of Billington, toppled out of a tree and landed at Ellie's feet, neither suspected that such an inauspicious meeting would lead to marriage. But Charles must find a bride before his thirtieth birthday or he'll lose his fortune. And Ellie needs a husband or her father's odious fiancée will choose one for her. And so they agree to wed, even though their match appears to have been made somewhere hotter than heaven ...
Ellie never dreamed she'd marry a stranger, especially one with such a devastating combination of rakish charm and debonair wit. She tries to keep him at arm's length, at least until she discovers the man beneath the handsome surface. But Charles can be quite persuasive -- even tender -- when he puts his mind to it, and Ellie finds herself slipping under his seductive spell. And as one kiss leads to another, this unlikely pair discovers that their marriage is not so inconvenient after all ... and just might lead to love.
