The Earl's Intended Wife

This was a wonderful story. Alex was the perfect hero-a gentleman to the end, handsome, honorable, wealthy, etc. I like a story that holds my interest from page one and this one did that. I'm not sure where the author came up with the heroine's name, but it was awful. [Sorry]

I liked this book. It's not great literature but rarely is that found in a Harlequin historical! I liked the characters and their growing relationship. Both were admirable people who were perfect for each other. I liked that the hero saw beyond the surface to the true beauty of the heroine...even if she was named Hebe! Yes, the plot may have been somewhat contrived but I think the character development more than made up for it. Believe me, I've read many Regencies and this one is quite enjoyable. It's better than many Signet Regencies I've plodded through. Stalwart hero and plucky heroine. I'm a sucker for that everytime.
