A sweet romance to fill a few hours. Gerald, the Earl Elliott, is asked by his best friend to look out for his sister, Lucinda.  He agrees as it gives him the opportunity to meet a prospective bride. Lucinda, although excited for her first season, is rather less enamoured with her mother’s  choice of husband -the Marquis of Quorndon and she sets out a plan to wed Gerald and fix up her would be suitor.

I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  Views are my own..

Ella Quinn is just delightful.  This is a quick, sweet novella and part of The Worthingtons series.  Not necessary to read in order, but they are all "worth" reading.

When I saw a book by Ella Quinn up for request on Netgalley, I couldn't resist requesting it. I have to admit that so far I've only read one other, but getting more in the series has been high on my list of books to read. This is a novella, rather than a full-length novel, but it fits into The Worthington's series. You don't need to have read the other books in the series to enjoy this one.
I really liked the idea behind this story. Earl Elliot is keen to find a wife. He seems to only notice women might be of interest when it's to late and they've already met and fallen in love with someone else. He's concerned that he might not recognise the woman who he should marry until it's too late. He has also been asked to keep an eye on his friend, the Duke of Rothwell's younger sister. 
Lucinda is having her first season in London. She's keen to find a husband, but not necessarily the one that her mother has chosen for her. Instead, she finds herself interested in her brother's friend Earl Elliot.
I really liked the way that Lucinda quickly decided that she was interested in Elliot, but it took him a while longer to realise that she might be the one. This was really quite a sweet story and I really enjoyed it. It may have only been a novella, but it was still satisfying and I'm still keen to read other books in the series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

You can always rely on Ella Quinn to write an intelligent romance story. I have never been disappointed in any of her books. This does make me wish i would have started at the first novel and went from there. I will try to do that anyway. I read so many historical novels and i miss some sometimes. But i hope to not miss any of Ms. Quinn's. Some of the author's books are light on historical imagery and details but the romance always makes up for it. I would not hesitate to recommend her books to anyone who likes to read Regency or Victorian novels. The hero in this story was not all that i would have liked, but that is personal preference. He in no way took away from the plot or being able to fully visualize and feel like you are there. The heroine was also somewhat mediocre but again, together the hero/heroine meshed well and elevated the story. Again, i would recommend this to anyone who enjoys love stories.
I was given an ARC through negalley from the publisher. Thank you
