Ethan Brundy, a wealthy mill owner, sees Lady Helen and knows he has found the woman he will marry. Lady Helen, a haughty, sharp-tongued woman, has no interest in marriage just yet, though her father's gambling debts make it close than she knows. Ethan will have his work cut out for him to win the heart of his bride. This was an absolutely lovely book! I don't usually care for insta-love, where one person immediately falls in love in the first sight. This, however, was a fun read. I liked that even though Ethan falls in love with Helen, he knows it will take time for Helen to fall in love with him. And he is willing to give her that time. There is an antagonist who is flimsy in motivation and hardly worth mentioning. The plot is simple and straightforward. It was a perfect afternoon read. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a light read. Really enjoyed this one. Lady Helen is a great beauty with a sharp tongue and has yet found a man worthy to marry. Her father, the Duke, has racked up a lot of debts and puts an ultimatimum to her that she must marry the met Mr. Brundy, the wealthy tradesman, or find a job as a governess or companion. She is appalled but goes through with the wedding after being promised wealth, and 6 months of getting to know one another without sex. Friendship builds as she sees his character and compares him to men of the "ton" and realizes as she slowly falls in love with him that she won the prize.

The story line was both novel and well used. The hero here was a textile mill owner, which was different since he was not a duke or what have you. On the other hand, the plot which has the heroine hiding a gambling debt from the hero is quite often used in regencies but it wasn't too onerous to read and the resolution was quick and fairly well done.
All in all a light but satisfying quick read. ( )
