To Marry an Earl



Kate Cartwright is skeptical of marriage.  She has a terribly cruel, unloving, and domineering father who sees Kate as nothing more than an unwanted financial burden. This traumatic experience, coupled with the unexplained, abrupt ending of a relationship in years past with her best friend and secret crush, James Fenwick, leave Kate disbelieving that love can be hers. 

Mr.Cartwright unashamedly sees Kate as a way to pay off his debts and makes a lucrative deal for her to marry Lord Bowcott, a man who recently inherited his title. Little does Kate know that this mysterious lord is her James. So begins the story of their rocky courtship as Kate has to learn that she is worth loving and that there are wonderful and kind men like James who can be trusted. 

My favorite character is James Fenwick because he shows Kate what it means to be treasured, protected, and cherished. He is not without faults, but I felt that made him an even stronger, lovable man. He realizes that keeping well intended secrets only hurt his relationship and he needs to change if he wants to win Kate’s heart. Kate couldn’t have been paired with a better man to help her heal her broken heart.

While threats to both of them was scary for the couple, it actually brought Kate and James together. I am really happy they overcame this frightening obstacle and chose to let it bring them together instead of tear them apart. I was smiling as the villain’s plans backfired and love won.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a digital review copy. I was not expected to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.
