A marvelous story with a daring heroine. Ophelia is a Ton heiress who is daring to defy convention. She refuses to be wed only for her wealth and is refusing all offers. Harry is a young man new to his title and facing a huge challenge. He is a man who has great friends and is scrupulous in his dealings. This is a story with witty banter and funny moments. The characters are wonderful and endearing. Ophelia is strong willed and lots of fun. Interacting with the characters throughout the pages was truly a blast. Ophelia and Harry weather the storms and find their way to a happily ever after.

A witty romance, I enjoyed the interaction between Lady Ophelia and Harry, despite hidden motives. At his mother’s instigation, Harry has no recourse other than to marry a wealthy heiress. Ophelia fits the bill in every way, and then some. Ophelia, on the other hand, is tired of fortune hunters and when it becomes clear that her future and reputation are under threat, she takes action, resulting in an amusing encounter with Harry. Despite the subterfuge, the main characters do find their perfect solution. I received a copy of this novel as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

It all started with a list of eligible heiresses with notations of pros and cons. Then the list falls into the wrong hands and ends up in the betting book at Whites. Only one of the heiresses is determined to get the book and destroy the list. Will one heiress believe that she’s loved for herself and not her money? Hilarious antics and an heiress determined to get what she wants.
Included in ROMANCING THE PAST anthology.

A Bad Situation Gets Hilariously Worse!
Harry and Ophelia’s love story is full of entertaining complications caused by the actions of Harry’s well-meaning friends. Ophelia is helped by two longtime friends whose m/m relationship is incidentally exposed in the book.
The tone of this book is romantic and high-spirited, despite concerns about Harry’s financial situation. The ending had me looking forward to the next book in this series.

Harry Spencer, Earl of Avondale, does not want to marry – one day but not soon, he’s only eight & twenty. His father is gone & the family is close to ruination. His Mother has prepared a list of six heiresses, one of which would be the next Countess of Avondale. Harry does not want to marry for money & vows to find the numerous paintings, sculptures, and objects his father had purchased at exorbitant prices.
Lady Ophelia Thornton is lovely, nearly a hoyden, outspoken, with a extremely large dowry & fortune hunter’s on her heels. She has turned down 21 marriage proposals & sh wants to be seen for herself, not her dowry – she wants to find love.
Harry & Ophelia are introduced at a ball & there is an instant attraction. Their road to happiness has lots of obstacles – loss of the heiress list with good & bad comments written about each by Harry’s friends, the list appearing in White’s Gentlemens Club betting book, Ophelia discovering it was Harry’s list, did Harry lie to her about his feelings & was he just after her money, can Harry ever find his father’s missing purchases & will his be able to gain forgiveness from Ophelia? I highly recommend this book & the character that Tanya Wilde created for the story were so charming & you root for Harry & Ophelia to finally get their HEA.

The wonderfully written storyline and the well created characters captured my attention from the very first page and I was so enthralled with this story that I finished reading this book in one sitting!

“not-quite-a-rogue” was so true.
Harry Spencer, Earl of Avondale six weeks prior he had just lost his father and now his mother wants him to marry. On top of it, all the family is experiencing money problems and there is also some mystery about missing artwork. Ophelia is one of the wealthy ladies on his mother’s list for possible wives for Harry. There is an attraction when they meet but things happen and trouble pop up its evil head. Will they get a happy ending or will Ophelia turn her back on Harry. This was an entertaining and well-written piece and I loved the characters from Harry and Ophelia but I include Warrick and Deerhurst. Want a book that is very well-done you should pick this one up. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
