Summary: Charlotte is delightful, even if she's not quite Gillian...
Comment: I was eagerly awaiting this follow up to Noble Intentions, and it truly is delightful. This book picks up several years after the first as Lady Charlotte Collins is returning to England from Italy after the death of her husband. Since she had shocked everyone, including her family, by running away to marry the second son of an Italian nobleman, she isn't exactly welcomed back with open arms. She soon decides that she must marry to regain her former status as the darling of the Ton. So, naturally, she chooses Alsdair, Lord Carlisle, as her new husband. Dare, who isn't exactly in the market for a wife, doesn't put up too much of a fight, and soon the two are man and wife.
The story started to get really good right about then, and I couldn't put the book down. I won't ruin a moment of it for you. I'll just say that you simply must read this book. In my opinion it's got all the elements of a great romance: humor, love, quirky characters, and a little outrageousness. I LOVED Noble Intentions, and I don't think this one is quite as good. But it doesn't miss by much! Go out and read all the Katie MacAlister books you can get your hands on! (I recommend Improper English for those of you who also read contemporaries-- most excellent!)

Summary: Another Winner!!
Comment: This is a sequel to Noble Intentions. Previous characters are revisited. This is a warm, funny read. Another excellent book by Katie MacAlister. I am looking forward to the next book in the series-The Trouble with Harry.

Summary: Three and 1/2 * Rating
Comment: Four years prior to this story, Lady Charlotte Collins, impulsively eloped with an Italian count. She scandalized the ton, and her family and now as a poor widow, she is attempting to return to society and take her rightful place once again. She had hoped that after four years, the ton would have forgot her scandal and open their arms to receive her - but not even her family was ready to do that!
Her only entry back into society would be to marry a title so that the ton would have to accept her. Enter Alasdair "Dare" McGregor, Earl of Carlisle a handsome suitor she remembered from years back and still single. Charlotte sets her sights, on Dare who inherited a bankrupt title and estates that were a constant money drain. Dare has no intentions of getting married and he knows he has to 'economize' to keep the bill collectors at bay until he can complete the design of a marine engine and sell it to investors to refill the empty coffers. The problem was Charlotte, who is depicted as one of the most shallow, and the most irritating heroines one could ever imagine, who didn't know that Dare had so few funds! She only assumed that all Earls had money! She maneuvered him into a compromising position whereby he had to publicly offer for her.
Unfortunately, Charlotte is so irritating that it was a struggle to get to the point that she does finally redeem herself and start thinking of someone other than herself. I found some of her antics and her conversations to be totally absurd. The author has the heroine speaking words and phrases totally out of context, to portray her as a featherbrain which would have been okay if I were in a silly mood, and she were a secondary character! Unfortunately, as a lead, Charlotte didn't appeal to me until about the last 80 or so pages before she actually realized she was in love with Dare, and not just using him for her own selfish purposes. It was an amusing story with a lot of slapstick humor and I can see it appealing to some, but an intelligent and emotional romance it is not!
