    Shunned by a society that puts attractiveness above all else, Lady Eliza Darby’s wallflower status keeps her from getting the one thing she wants most, namely, to be a mother. But when her scorned older sister returns home to see all of her sisters wed in happy matches, it may be Eliza’s only chance to secure a husband and have the children she so desires.

    Jilted in a publicly humiliating display, Dax Kane, the Duke of Ashbourne, has sworn off love forever and has no wish to wed. But when the title demands it, he selects the most perfect candidate for the position: Lady Eliza Darby, a wallflower so unattractive he won’t be in danger of falling in love with her. But the Jilted Duke will soon discover looks have nothing to do with love.

    • 4/5
      Her description of what it feels like to feel unlovable or not beautiful because of other’s constant abuse felt so real. I actually cried. Not what I expected from a romance novel at all. That part was so heart wrenching. The rest of the story was pleasant, but slow and fairly uneventful until the end. The story focuses more on character growth versus plot.

    • 5/5
      Great story...though it would have been nice to have added more depth and grovelling.
    • 5/5
      Charming love story with delightful hero and heroine. Well worth reading.
    • 3/5
      The narrator is horrible at imitating male voices. When she does so it feels like the voice of an old women.
    • 4/5
      A slow paced character development kind of book with the excitement in the last little bit. It wrapped up pretty quick. Which felt rushed. But the characters had depth and the change built throughout the book.
