4 stars
This is a lovely historical romance and it surprised me by the depth of its characters and entertaining storyline. Lady Marjorie is twenty three and unmarried. Her mother stubbornly requires her to marry a titled gentleman and Marjorie refuses to abandon her younger brother who has social issues and would probably be considered Autistic in the present day. Mr. Charles Norris is desperate for love, a wife and a gaggle of children. He has a tendency to fall in love with young debutantes and has problems talking normally to women. Charles tricks Marjorie into helping him find a match, because there is no way they will ever be together since he is untitled. These characters are just awesome. It is so infrequent that the male actually wants to fall in love and it is refreshing when it happens. There is also a side story that tells Marjorie's mother's heartbreaking history and why she is the way she is. The only reason that I didn't give this romance five stars is because there are a few ridiculous scenes that are cringe-worthy but otherwise I really thought this a wonderful book. I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
