Just A Kiss
4 stars!Fun read with cute characters. Really enjoyed this.
Just a Kiss is a very cute story. The premise is one of my favorites – clever young woman with no dowry has to find a match before being stuck for the rest of her life with an odious acquaintance. In this case, Charlotte is being pressured to marry the cousin of her sister-in-law. Both the sister-in-law and the cousin are horrible, selfish people, so it’s a good thing that Charlotte has a backbone and stands up to them. They keep plotting to compromise her so that she will have to marry Horace (with a name like that, you know he’s going to be an awful toad), but fortunately, Sebastian, Earl of Marley, steps in to save the day.
Sebastian is under some pressure to find a suitable bride. His grandmother raised him, and now she is frail and often falls ill. She wants nothing more than to see him wed, and to see her great-grandchildren. After her latest bout of illness, Sebastian makes up his mind – he will finally marry and make his grandmother happy. Now, he just has to find a woman who doesn’t drive him nuts with her simpering!
Charlotte has been promised a season by her much older half-brother and guardian, and she intends to make full use of her opportunity. Elizabeth, her SIL doesn’t even want to sponsor her for the season, and instead accepts Horace’s proposal on her behalf. Richard puts down his foot though, and agrees that Charlotte will have her season, but if she can’t land a suitable match, she will have to marry Horace. Yuck! The pressure is on!
