ABOUT THE BOOK
Amelia Moore is worried about her and her sister's future. With
their stepfather's looming death, she knows they'll soon be on their
own—without an inheritance, home, or penny to their names. When an
invitation arrives to join a house party at Lakeshire Park, Amelia is
eager to encourage a match between her sister, Clara, and Sir Ronald. At
least then, she'll know her sister will be taken care of.
Little does she know that another guest, Mr. Peter Wood, is after the same goal for his sister. Starting with a quarrel over a glove, Amelia and Peter begin a rivalry—one that Amelia has no choice but to win. But competing against Peter—and eventually playing by his rules—makes Amelia vulnerable to losing the only thing she has left to claim—her heart.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
MEGAN WALKER was raised on a berry farm in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, where her imagination took her to times past and worlds away. While earning her degree in Early Childhood Education at Brigham Young University, she married her one true love and started a family. But her imaginings wouldn’t leave her alone, so she picked up a pen, and the rest is history. She lives in St. Louis with her husband and three children.
REVIEW
This absolutely delightful Regency novel follows the marriage-seeking adventures of Amelia Moore and her sister, Clara. The girl's stepfather is dying and makes it clear to Amelia that he has no intention of leaving them any sort of livelihood. When he dies they will be homeless and penniless. In order to avoid poverty, at least one of the girls must marry. Luckily they have just been invited to a house party hosted by Sir Ronald at Lakeshire Park. Amelia knows that Clara likes Sir Ronald and is determined to help her sister win him over.
What she doesn't expect is meeting Mr. Peter Wood who is out to help his sister win over Sir Ronald. In an effort to get Mr. Wood out of the way, Amelia sets out to distract him. After making a bargain where they spend every afternoon together, Amelia and Peter find themselves getting to know each other. And Amelia, who disliked Peter at first because of a brief encounter in the local town, reluctantly finds herself falling in love. But complications abound. Clara doesn't like Peter or his sister, her rival. And with Lord Grey's death imminent and Clara's relationship with Sir Ronald up in the air, Amelia must decide whether to accept a marriage of convenience or take a risk on love.
Amelia and Peter's witty and amusing relationship made for a thoroughly engaging, enjoyable read. I found myself grinning and even laughing out loud at times. Amelia's boldness and Peter's playfulness made for some truly fun reading. The romance was tender and sweet, especially once Amelia accepts her changing feelings. There's plenty of conflict with Peter's sister, Georgiana, is determined to win Sir Ronald and is willing to do anything to accomplish her goal. Amelia's worries about her and her sister's future leads her to make some interesting decisions, both good and bad. I thoroughly enjoyed this story full of humor and romance. This one is definitely going on my favorites shelf. Highly recommended.
