    About this ebook

    An Unexpected Husband

    Against her better judgment, Lady Gillian Marley needs to find herself a husband -- and quickly. To claim her uncle's unexpected bequest she must marry by her next birthday, which leaves only two months to find a malleable mate. Topping her list of eligible candidates is the honorable Earl of Shelbrooke, yet one look at the very handsome but enigmatic nobleman and Gillian knows that cajoling him into a marriage of convenience will be hardly convenient at all.

    A Marriage of Inconvenience

    Far from immune to Gillian's entrancing charms, the last thing Richard Shelton is about to bind himself into is a chaste marriage. Though the inheritance is more than tempting, Richard knows the lady herself is the real prize and isn't about to allow Gillian to deny the burning fervor that sparks between them. Now he has only two months to convince her to be his wife in full ... before his mysterious secret is revealed and their lives explode irrevocably into scandal.

    Victoria Alexander

    Victoria Alexander was an award-winning television reporter until she discovered fiction was much more fun than real life. She turned to writing full time and has never looked back. Victoria grew up traveling the country as an Air Force brat and is now settled in Omaha, Nebraska, with her husband, two teenaged children, and a bearded collie named Sam. She firmly believes housework is a four-letter word, there are no calories in anything eaten standing up, procrastination is an art form, and it's never too soon to panic.

      Nothing special unfortunately. It starts out alright, but somehow the double life part fizzles a bit after a while - more could have been done with this. Also, there's too much doubting and woolgathering.

      A delicious Regency read!! Engaging characters and an entertaining plot line. Nice amount of steam to keep the story popping!

      Gillian is a terrific character and Richard really has to work to win her over. Such an entertaining tale, much farce!

      I love a lively historical with all the pomp and circumstance! Really enjoyable read!

      A fun series.
    • 4/5
      Rarely would I call a book "cute," but that is the word that comes to mind with this book. The plot was weak with gigantic holes in it. The flow of the story wasn't quite right. BUT you gotta love Gillian, Richard and his perky sisters! This author's great talent is clearly lively, fun dialogue. Gillian and Richard teased and taunted their way through the story in a very cute, endearing way. Not a great book, but I really LIKED it.
