It makes sense in a way to try one more time for another wealthy heiress from the same family, and third time is indeed the charm for Bennett. As a result, he needs to marry a wealthy woman, but alas, both previous women he had his eye set on ended up with other blokes (see here and here). He is also the responsible one of his siblings, working hard to keep the money coming even as his useless father wastes the money as fast as it comes in. He’s actually a bit of a typical romance novel heroine in that he too wants to marry for love. Still, her infatuation with Bennett, Lord Carson, isn’t so vapid. I know, I know, a standard heroine of the times indeed. She also wants to marry for love, claims to be looking for intellectual men, but at the end of the day, she still pants after the hottest boy in the room. At any rate, our heroine likes to talk about deep intellectual things, and her idea of a punchline is to make up cute phrases in bastardized Latin, which is so Standuppy inconsistensia and Eyerollingus snorticulli at times. While the author makes the effort to let readers new to the series catch up on things, the books so far have a connecting arc revolving around a runaway sister, and the rather convoluted history of the main characters and the supporting ones here all suggest that those new readers may have a better time just reading the books in chronological order.Īnyway, our heroine was previously described as bookish and opinionated, and as a result, she is considered an unsuitable matrimonial prospect by most people in the Ton. Oh well, who knows what marketing people are thinking these days. Odd, if the previous books in this Duke’s Daughters series were anything to go by, I’d thought this one would be called Lady Be Daring.
Ida, the youngest Howlett sister, finally gets shackled in The Lady Is Daring.
