When a Marquis Chooses a Bride

Written by Ella Quinn

Narrated by Cat Gould

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?

Contains mature themes.

Reviews for When a Marquis Chooses a Bride

[bookworm2bookworm · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Another great romance from Ms. Quinn. I especially liked the pace of the romance. The author took time in introducing us to the characters and slowly developed romance between the two. It actually made the steamy scenes that finally happened even more poignant and relevant.

I love it when all the elements in a romance coalesce and when two people that are different as night and day, come to a conclusion that it’s exactly those differences that are pulling them together.

I really enjoyed this read and hope you will too.

Pride and consequence take a beating!Why is it always a pleasure to see the high-in-the-instep stuffy peer fall for the riotous, troublesome female? A female who loosens him from his elevated bonds and trappings of his self importance to reveal the real man beneath.When Dotty's (Dorothea Stern, granddaughter of the Duke of Bristol) actions inveigle Dominic, the Marquis of Merton, into defending her he finds himself thinking more about her than he should.This from the man who has composed a list of suitable women to marry. Dotty definitely is not in their class. I must say she is in a class all of her own. She has all the smarts to become an 'incomparable', an 'original' (in a good sense).After all, 'he neither wished nor expected to love his wife. His uncle had been exceedingly clear that strong passion and emotions were to be avoided in marriage. They lead to disaster'.The problem is that Dominic was raised by this rigid uncle who drilled into Dominic a sense of his rightful consequence.So prig meets an original and is taken for a roller coaster of a ride towards the messy consequences of love, with many hilarious moments.I loved this continuation of The Worthington's series.A NetGalley ARC
