5 stars Another fun story from Bianca Blythe, featuring amusing, albeit unlikely circumstances, clever characters, and witty repartee. Portia suddenly finds out she needs to marry before the end of the year or lose her inheritance, and conveniently, her much older guardian not only failed to tell her in time, but also offers himself to “save” her. She is determined to find someone else or find employment because she will NOT marry him. He has other ideas. Meanwhile, Colin is enjoying life as a single Duke—until he meets Portia. She doesn’t believe he wants to marry her and he thinks she doesn’t actually care for him, and as a result, silly assumptions follow. Their journey is punctuated by appearances from other characters in The Duke Hunter’s Club series, most memorable being Portia’s friend Daisy because Daisy is in a wheelchair and I cannot think of any other series/author who features a disabled person in their books. The conclusion, though predictable, takes several detours along the way, adding tension and a bit of anxiousness. The journey for the reader is quick and enjoyable, something readers of Bianca Blythe’s books, no doubt, assume will always be the case. November 22, 2020
