A Marriage of Necessity keeps your attention although it is a novella. The marriage between Kennedy and Anne is a forced marriage on both sides. Anne needs the funds to save her family. Her only offering is the title that comes with her through her family name. Kennedy needs to marry to protect his sister, Rose, from their father.

Kennedy is in a really awkward position of trying to find his sister before their father forces her into a horrible marriage. In addition, his former lover married his father instead of him, now she is his step-mother and a horrible person.

Anne is a very strong personality and stands up for herself in all situations. (I love her spunk.) Kennedy seemed to admire her when he first met her. He begins to admire her more each day. Anne’s mother warned him that Anne was a force.

This is a great story for a light-hearted read with that sweetness needed in historical romances.

This was a short read for me. I did enjoy the story I wished it was a little longer. The characters meshed fairly well. My only wish is that there was more to the story. This book was provided to me by NetGalley for a honest review.
