Booklist Review
Jack Lester knows he has a certain reputation among the matchmaking mothers of the ton, who believe he is just another rake looking to marry for money. However, the truth of the matter is that Jack doesn't need to wed a wealthy lady, since he has managed to restore his family's fortune, even though few in high society know about this. Jack simply wants to find a woman who might like him for himself; in other words, someone like Sophie Winterton. The problem is that Sophie believes Jack is looking for a lady with a considerable dowry, and since she is as penniless as a church mouse, Sophie is certain Jack would never, ever consider marrying a poor girl like herself. Originally published in 1995, this early work by the now best-selling Laurens is a nicely executed, traditional Regency romance that not only delivers the sexy, alpha-male hero for which the author is famous but also offers hints of the smoldering sexual chemistry that in later romances Laurens turned up to full boil.--Charles, John Copyright 2015 Booklist
