THREE WEEKS TO WED is the first book in the Worthingtons
series by Ella Quinn. Lady Grace Carpenter has been
infatuated with Matteus the
Earl of Worthington for years, so when bad weather brings
them together in a small inn, she seizes the opportunity to
spend one night with him. In order to not to
lose her guardianship of her siblings, Lady Grace believes
she has to live
out the rest of her life as a spinster. Matt is intrigued by
the sensual, intelligent mysterious
woman who is offering herself to him. He falls in love with
her and decides to propose the first thing in the morning
but Lady Grace disappears before he learns her name.
I must say Ella Quinn's writing is delightful and witty, the
story and the characters were interesting but I would have
preferred more restraint between hero and heroine. At the
beginning Lady Grace seemed to be a strong
heroine--fighting to gain the guardianship of her sibling
but during the story she was weeping all the time,
fainting and couldn't stop herself from sleeping with hero.
Matt was a really nice gentleman but as a reader I prefer
the hero
not to think he is in love at the first sight. Everything
seems to happen so easily and quickly without
really any tension. Of course there were a few roadblocks
but nothing serious to make the story more thrilling and
to keep Grace and Matt away from each other. The
siblings made the story more sweet and enjoyable,
especially when they tried to make everything to be smooth
and easy for Grace and Matt.
THREE WEEKS TO WED is a sweet romance with nice dialogue and
just
needs a little more tension and more scandal to make it a
perfect historical romance read.
In the first book of her dazzling new series, bestselling
author Ella Quinn introduces the soon-to-be Earl and
Countess of Worthington--lovers who have more in common than
they yet know. The future promises to be far from boring…
Lady Grace Carpenter is ready to seize the day--or rather,
the night--with the most compelling man she's ever known.
Marriage would mean losing guardianship of her beloved
siblings, and surely no sane gentleman will take on seven
children not his own. But if she can have one anonymous
tryst with Mattheus, Earl of Worthington, Grace will be
content to live out the rest of her life as a spinster.
Matt had almost given up hope of finding a wife who could
engage his mind as well as his body. And now this sensual,
intelligent woman is offering herself to him. What could be
more perfect? Except that after one wanton night, the
mysterious Grace refuses to have anything to do with him.
Amid the distractions of the Season he must convince her,
one delicious encounter at a time, that no obstacle--or
family--is too much for a man who's discovered his heart's
desire…
