Very good story and has some really good scenes even if some of the dialogue doesn't seem to fit the period.

Heiress is tall and not conventionally attractive, because of how her father always puts her down and men act toward her, she becomes very bitter towards the opposite sex. Earns reputation for being a man hater.
Gorgeous poor Earl needs money to rebuild estate father ruined. Finds out heroine is rich and goes for her, lucky him, he finds her sassy great.
Heroine's whole gender male hating and gruffness was a bit off-putting and hero's genial good guy shucks was a bit hokey dokey. Not a lot of depth to the writing, very surface characters with cliche villainous daddies and non-villainous misunderstood sister and friend.
The story was predictable from beginning to end and was a quick read. Some dialogue connection moments between hero and heroine but never flushed out. Surface and over trodden ground.

Eva Devon has done it again! She has written a book that gave me all the feels and more.
Lady Margaret has decided to never marry. She feels plain beside her beautiful younger sister. She knows that her dowry is a big draw on the marriage mart. She wants to be loved for herself and not her money. She has also shown her disinterest in several interesting ways.
William, Lord Carlyle is a handsome guy and everyone seems to fall at his feet. He is in dire need of funds to save his inheritance. His father left the coffers empty and his property and workers are suffering. Lady Margaret is a challenge and has money. He sets out to win her hand in marriage.
This story is full of feelings. He has a good kind heart and she needs to see her self worth. I love books that allow you to understand each characters heart.
