Fresh Fiction Review

When a Marquis Chooses a Bride
Ella Quinn

Reviewed by Auriette Lindsey

Romance Historical

Ella Quinn's new novel, WHEN A MARQUIS CHOOSES A BRIDE, is an enchanting story about two very different people whose hearts are drawn together. Dominic's domineering uncle taught him that tradition and duty are everything. It's not until he and Dotty get caught in another woman's scheme that he realizes this unconventional miss could be his perfect match.

Dominic and Dotty are destined for each other, the chemistry clicks right away. Quinn doesn't make it easy for them. She plots plenty of twists and turns, including a jilted debutante with her scheming cousin and a gang of murderous human traffickers. It's such a joy to read how Dotty changes the lives of everyone she encounters, from a litter of kittens to an urchin accused of stealing. Quinn also gives us the staples of Regency romance, dancing at Almack's, drives in Hyde Park, and secret rendezvous during balls. It's an entertaining and layered story with a fascinating cast of characters, and a strong message about social justice.

WHEN A MARQUIS CHOOSES A BRIDE is the second book in the Worthingtons series, and I look forward to future outings with the family. I recommend this novel for fans of historical romance who enjoy a bit of mystery and intrigue with their love stories.

SUMMARY

Thanks to their large extended family and unconventional courtship, the Worthingtons have seen their share of scandal and excitement. But nothing has prepared them for this...

The Dowager Lady Worthington isn’t quite sure what to make of country-girl Dorothea Stern. As the granddaughter of the Duke of Bristol, Dotty is schooled in the ways and means of the nobility. But her sharp wit and outspoken nature has everyone in a tizzy. Especially their cousin, Dominic, the Marquis of Merton.

Prematurely stuffy, Dom was raised by his cheerless uncle to be wary of a host of things, including innovation, waltzing, and most perilous of all: true love. Still, there’s something about Dotty, beyond her beauty, that Dom cannot resist. But the odds are against him if he intends to win her as his bride. Will he choose loyalty to his family—or risk everything for the one woman he believes is his perfect match…
