Publisher's Summary

Sir Richard Kenworthy has less than a month to find a bride. He knows he can't be too picky, but when he sees Iris Smythe-Smith hiding behind her cello at her family's infamous musicale, he thinks he might have struck gold. She's the type of girl you don't notice until the second - or third - look, but there's something about her, something simmering under the surface, and he knows she's the one.

Iris Smythe-Smith is used to being underestimated. With her pale hair and quiet, sly wit she tends to blend into the background, and she likes it that way. So when Richard Kenworthy demands an introduction, she is suspicious. He flirts, he charms, he gives every impression of a man falling in love, but she can't quite believe it's all true. When his proposal of marriage turns into a compromising position that forces the issue, she can't help thinking that he's hiding something... even as her heart tells her to say yes.

Lovely romantic comedy

I may have enjoyed this even more than Quinn’s other books which quickly became addictive. It’s often laugh out loud funny and this reader is not sure if she’s more impressed with the narrator (who astounds me every time) or the writer. Really enjoyed the nod to Pride and Predjudice.

Not Julia Quinn's best work

This book has a very satisfactory ending, but I found the story leading up to it to drag on. For most of the book, they are polite to each other, nothing more, nothing less. IMO it took too long for things to get really interesting. But I know others love this book so still might be worth the read.
