About this ebook

Sebastian Sinclair, the Duke of Wessex, is not in love with Eliza Benton—nor anyone else, for that matter. But he must marry and produce an heir, and love is not required for either. His future duchess must be of high birth and good nature, a lady unlikely to snipe at him over breakfast. In short, the complete opposite of Eliza. So who better to help him find a bride?

Eliza Benton is not in love with the Duke of Wessex. He’s infuriating, arrogant, and an ass of the first order. Not that she has any intention of marrying anyone now that her secret dream is on the cusp of becoming reality. A husband would ruin all her careful plans. But she’s all for finding her nemesis the perfect bride, anything to get him from underfoot so she can focus on her writing.

Thank goodness Sebastian and Eliza aren’t in love. That would be disastrous.

The Duke of Wessex nearly chokes on a strawberry, then where would the dukedom be? It would be finished, no little Duke to be to carry on the title, therefore he decides the moment the strawberry is dislodged from his throat, I must write a note to my beautiful best friend, Eliza Benton and get her to find me a wife, there, now all will be well, he will chose one of the ladies Eliza has put on her list, marry, have an heir and all will be well! Eliza finds this task easy enough until it is put in motion, then of course, the plan falls short in the face of reality. Both of them suffer from commitment issues, which must be addressed. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the book, knowing full well how it would end, but I did enjoy it! I highly recommend! Thank you. carolintallahassee

I really liked it. I thought it was a bit of a nice change from other books in this subgenre. For some reason I loved the last two or so pages so much that I cried a little. I do think their issues ought to have been explored a bit more. I was kind of devastated when the abrupt ending gave way to a "four years later" situation, where we learn that they didn't intentionally get over their fear (and perhaps never do?). Rather nice read though.

"Sometimes an epiphany came like a crack of lightning, sharp and brilliant, and sometimes it came like a bit of hothouse strawberry lodged in one's throat. Unfortunately for Sebastian Sinclair, Duke of Wessix, Earl of Badington, and Knight of the Garter, it was the latter." From the first line I knew this was going to be fun and delightful and without hesitation I was correct in that I was laughing out loud on the first page!! The epiphany was that he needed to marry and begat a heir or all his holdings might go a bloody American relative! Plus he might die at any moment! He sent a not to Miss Eliza Benton to help him in his quest. Eliza had to smile as she received the almost indecipherable note from Wessix. He was going to visit tomorrow. She tossed it in the drawer with all the others he had sent, not sure why she saved them. In six months she would inherit funds from her mother and a cottage and truly be independent. They had met three years ago at a ball and he had been taken with her beauty and wit and she had been indifferent to his. It was the start of an enduring friendship. When he announced to her he was going to marry, he wanted her to draw up a list for him. Can I just say I adored this story? The relationship between these two and the banter had me laughing and smiling as Elizabeth Bright managed to wrap her characters around my heart! I could not wait to see what happened between these two to make them realize they were meant for each other and oh yes, they were!! Perfect! I read this through NetGallery and the fabulous publisher
