The grandfather was a duke and was wealthy.Ian’s parents had died and did not want to talk to his grandfather. Ian’s father was an English man who was cut off by his father for marrying a Scottish woman. The girls tricked Elizabeth into talking to Ian at one of the balls, who was not really liked as he was Scottish and a gambler). This made the other girls unhappy because they were not that much attention from the men. Elizabeth had no say in this.Įlizabeth was paraded and fifteen men were interested in marrying her. In this case Robert, who really did not care about the man but his title and money. If the man liked you then they would ask your guardian to marry you. Their purpose was to produce an heir and go to parties with their husbands. Love was for the poor! These women were not expected to have a functional brain. The season was when girls were paraded for men who were looking for “suitable” brides. Robert takes Elizabeth to London for the “season”.
Robert had gambled away the money that their parents had left them so his “only” option was to marry off his sister so they could save their home, Havenhurst and pay their(mostly his) debts. Elizabeth’s parents died and was left in the care of her half-brother Robert. The book is about Elizabeth Cameron and Ian Thornton.
It was the last bit that made me write this review. Horse drawn coaches, letters, servants and women being treated as property. It is a classical novel set in England and Scotland. Life is hard enough! I am romantic comedy movie type of person. So you will not find me reading a book that will make me cry. I don’t even watch the news, I just scan the headlines to know what is going on in the world. So I avoid any books that will give me chest pains. To some extend, the books provide an escape.Īs I have probably mentioned before, I like to read for fun. Most of her characters fly in private jets but also have the same emotional struggles like us ordinary people. Most of her books are about people who are super rich who I can somehow relate to, lol. It is the context of how that happens that keeps me reading.
I know that the hero and heroine will end up together by the time I finish the book. One of my favourite authors is Judith McNaught.
