You know what I loved about this book? I never had to forgive the hero or the heroine for being an idiot. Not once did they betray each other. Not once did they fail to forgive a shortcoming. There was no subterfuge, no great misunderstanding. It's just a story of a man, trying to win a woman's heart --and succeeding.

Margaret is firmly on the shelf at 30 when her brother inherits a Dukedom. He decides to share his good fortune with his sister, offering a sizable dowry for her to finally snag a husband. That money is just what Rhys needs. But when he meets Margaret, he is taken with her quick wit and strong will... and he knows they would be a perfect fit.

Margaret wants a man to love her for more than the money her brother is offering. And Rhys' financial problems are no secret, so it takes some time before she is assured of his affections. But the sexual tension is good and when they finally come together, it's great. There are a few foils for the couple along the way, but they're all external. It's a short read... only a little over 100 pages... but a pleasant way to spend an afternoon. 4 stars.
