Critique de Booklist
Jason Montgomery, Duke of Eversleigh, had reached a decision: it is time to get married. Actually, Jason didn't make the decision so much as have it made for him by his six matchmaking aunts, who insist that Jason do his duty and wed a suitable lady. Now all Jason has to do is find a woman who meets his exacting criteria for the next Duchess of Eversleigh. Fortunately, he seems to have found a woman who has most, if not all, of those qualities--the unexpected choice of less-than-glamorous Lenore Lester. Others might be deceived by her frumpish facade, but Jason knows Lenore is not meant for spinsterhood. The consistently readable Laurens takes a classic Regency plot the rake who must marry and the spinster who doesn't believe in love and gives it her own stylish twist with plenty of sizzling passion and a surfeit of wit in this hardcover reincarnation.--Charles, John Copyright 2010 Booklist
Critique du Library Journal
Needing to marry but not wanting his current lifestyle altered, a worldly duke zeroes in on an intelligent, country-bred lady who has no intention of falling victim to his charms. With its lively banter, clever wit, and exquisitely depicted Regency setting, this classic charmer is a breath of fresh air and will appeal to fans of the traditional Regency and others who like their historicals simmering with sexual tension but light on explicit sex. One of Laurens's early titles and sweeter than her current offerings, the first hardcover edition was originally published by Mills & Boon in 1995 and subsequently reissued in various collections. It is the first of the "Lester Trilogy." (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
