Beginning in 1887 London, this is a humorous story of the planned marriage between Charlotte Beck and Alex Hambly. Charlotte wants to remain single, attend the university to study mathematics and eventually join her father in Beck Enterprises as vice president. Viscount Alex Hambly has his sights set on astronomy and moving ahead in that field. Neither is prepared for the proposition that Charlotte’s father offers them. Charlotte is to marry Alex and then go she may go to the university. Alex will receive the funds to pay off family debts and move ahead in the field of astronomy. All seems like it should work, except no one has taken into account unpredictable Charlotte as she looks for ways to prevent a marriage and obtain her goals. A series of laughable mishaps surround this couple from the very first time they meet until the day they both accept their married state and decide they really do love each other. Kathleen Y’Barbo keeps the reader laughing as she involves the reader in the situations and dangers that Charlotte manages to find herself in, though most of them are of her own making. An enjoyable book that I will read again and again.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
