Publisher Description
Isabella Hathaway has had a dreadful twelve months; her father committed suicide after gaming away the family fortune, her brother is lost in the ongoing skirmishes with Bonaparte and her fiance has jilted her. Little wonder her spirit is bruised. To provide for her two sisters, she must find a suitable husband, no easy thing when she had been living under a cloud of scandal.
When Isabella is kidnapped from a masquerade ball, she thinks she is surely ruined. But that is before she comes to know the scatty, good natured Earl of Stornley and his devilishly handsome best friend, Harry Carstairs. Isabella and Stornely hatch a plan that will get her out of trouble and land him the girl of his dreams. With Harry's far from willing help, Isabella makes plans to secure a respectable match and put her problems behind her. It will all go just as she plans - if she can avoid the lure of the the wonderfully womanizing Mr. Carstairs who makes it clear he is not in need of a wife!
Customer Reviews
Would be a great story, but….
I enjoyed the story. I have even purchased two more of her books, but I am really disappointed in her proof-readers. There are so many mistakes in this book. Even the main characters NAME changes (Chambers? on page 2 or 3 and Carstairs for the rest of the book!) Things like this drive me batty. Thankfully the price is only $2 which allowed me to get over that, slightly, and purchase 2 more books. However I wouldn’t have if they were more expensive. The fact that this authoress is from ‘down under’, as am I, allowed me overlook this. If details and accuracy don’t iminge your enjoyment of a good story, then get these books! I was charmed.
