Lucas Colebrook has just claimed his new title of Earl of Stonevale. This title comes with a large manor house, acres of land, but no money to run it. There are many people depending on him and he needs to marry an heiress now. His choice is Victoria Huntington. Lucas uses her love of adventure to court her.
After being pursued for years by fortune hunters, Victoria has sworn never to marry. But Lucas is getting harder and harder to resist. After being compromised and dragged to the altar for a quick wedding, Victoria believes that Lucas is just like the others who only want her for her money.
I liked the first half of the book when Lucas agreed to take Victoria to places such a gambling hell and a brothel. But after the marriage, it felt like he was so caught up with the estate, he would not let Victoria be herself and tried to mold her into the usual by-the-rules regency wife. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
