Synopsis:Preparing to inherit her father's business empire, independent nineteenth-century beauty Cecily White resists money-seeking suitors, until she is tempted by the Earl of Greystone, who she insists must prove his love to her.
Review:
Brain candy...pure brain candy.
Jared, Earl of Greystone, needs to marry an heiress to replete his family's coffers but his meddling mother keeps running them off. Cece is a headstrong, opinionated American heiress that detests the idea of marrying for money. When her friend gets her heart broken by the Earl and his mother, Cece comes up with a plan to avenge her friend and prove that Americans are equal or perhaps even better than their snobby British counterparts. But she didn't plan on falling in love with Jared and now all bets are off, but there is still Jared's mother to deal with.
Based on the Hans Christen Andersen tale of the same name, this is a fun, lighthearted romance. Not a bodice ripper, the love scenes are few and modest, and of course the couple must deal with a misunderstanding or two, and a meddling mother.
This was a sweet, simple story with likable characters and a fun plot. Perfect for the beach or just quick escape from reality. This book won't change your life, but it will make it a little more fun for awhile.
Intended Audience: 16 and up
