I have never read a Jo Beverley novel. I'm not sure this was her best work. This is a really short regency period historical romance. Published in 1991, this is a part of a series. However, it can be read as a stand alone.
Amy's family has fallen on hard times. She is determined to marry a very wealthy man so her entire family can live in the style they once did, and her sisters will have dowries so they can also marry well.
But, Amy meets Harry after getting caught up in a rain storm and seeks shelter.
Harry knows his family wishes he would start to think of marriage. He thinks Amy would be perfect even though they only just met. He proposes marriage, but Amy bluntly tells him no because he isn't rich enough. There is a terrible argument and they part hating each other.
Now, they must each travel to London for the season.
Amy must learn that her family must find their own way and .not use her to restore to them the wealth she so Desperately wants for them.
Amy's family seems nice in a way, but they also don't seem very warm.
Harry is just hurt, and doesn't want Amy to marry for money. Even if she doesn't find love with him.
I agree that Amy was irritating. Even at the very end, she doesn't seem to have completely let go of her goal despite the fact she loves Harry and he loves her, she puts her ungrateful family first. I think Amy was very lucky to have Harry, I just wonder if she really appreciated him as much as she should have.
This novel is rated PG. mild language. Overall a C.
