Summary: A spell-binding story
Comment: Mason St. Clair, the Earl of Ashlin is out of money, out of time, and out of options. His brother, father, and grandfather before him have all wasted away any monies associated with his newly inherited title and lands. Now he has to find a suitable bride to help him repay his considerable debts and help his ungainly nieces find husbands to boot. When Riley Fontaine walks through his door, he finds none of those things, yet he can't get her out of his mind.
Mason has some really wonderful qualities that make him unique. Whether it's spectacles he doesn't need, an interesting way with a knife, or his ability to make any room become silent with just a word, he is a true hero through and through. Riley has a troubled past, and a man out to murder her... not to mention a play to run. The last thing she needs is love. Yet somehow it all comes together in a nail-biting, grinning-from-ear-to-ear read that will have you turning the pages. Elizabeth comes through with another classic!

Summary: Good read
Comment: In 1798 Mason St. Clair, the new Earl of Ashlin knows he should not speak unkindly of the dead. However, the amount and types of debt his predecessor, his older brother Freddie, managed to accumulate simply stuns Mason. Adding to his discomfit, is his three ungainly nieces who he needs to find mates for without giving them dowries.
Actress Madame Riley Fontaine arrives to allegedly pay off a debt that Mason never heard of in his life. To Riley's chagrin and shock, the studious Mason reads the contract instead of ogling her body as she expected. The debt owed the estate by Riley would pay for the three nieces' debut. Instead, his Cousin Felicity works a deal in which Riley trains the nieces into becoming the diamonds of the season. As Riley and Mason work together and begin considering a marriage of convenience, they fall in love. However, she remains a financially strapped actress with a mysterious past and he is an aristocrat facing bankruptcy.
NO MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE is an entertaining Regency romance filled with an assortment of odd, but endearing characters (and a villain). The brazen story line is amusing yet filled with tender feelings that touch the audience. Elizabeth Boyle's witty tale will provide much delight to sub-genre readers.

Summary: Charming 4 1/2 stars book
Comment: I would have given this 5 stars except that the beginning was slow, and I almost put the book aside and stop reading it. But since I read Ms. Boyle's latest book and loved it, I figured I would try to read at least 100 pages before tossing it aside, and the next thing I knew I was so caught up in the story, I couldn't put it down! Give the book a chance, it is a charming read!
