I present to you a guest review of THE EARL’S COUNTESS OF CONVENIENCE, a Penniless Brides of Convenience novel by Marguerite Kaye, published April 1, 2019.
Blurb for THE EARL’S COUNTESS OF CONVENIENCE:
A countess in name only…
…tempted by a night with
her husband!
Part
of Penniless Brides of Convenience: Eloise Brannagh has witnessed firsthand the
damage unruly passion can cause. Yet she craves freedom, so a convenient
marriage to the Earl of Fearnoch seems the perfect solution! Except Alexander
Sinclair is more handsome, more intriguing, more everything than Eloise anticipated. She’s set her own rules
for their marriage, but her irresistible husband might just tempt her to break
them!

Review:
Kate, Lady
Elmswood, is delighted to receive a note from Lord Fearnoch accepting her
invitation to call and meet her ward, Miss Eloise Brannagh, to discuss
marriage. If he and Eloise are amenable to one another, then they must be
married by 30 June or Lord Fearnoch will forfeit his title and estates which
would then pass to his odious cousin.
Both Eloise and Alexander grew up with cold parents. Eloise and her sisters ended up nearly penniless when her parents died, which is why they now live with their uncle’s wife, Kate.
Kate, Eloise, and her sisters Phoebe and Estelle, assume the man to be old and ugly, but when he arrives, they are quite wrong, for Alexander Sinclair, the Earl of Fearnoch turns out to be quite handsome indeed. As they discuss the terms of the marriage, Eloise learns it will be a marriage of convenience. They both agree and Eloise travels to London where she and Alexander are married. They then move into his spacious London townhome.
As Eloise learns her way around and gets to know Alexander more, she is quite delighted. The plan is that Alexander will spend most of his time working overseas in a rather vague government position.
Ah, but the best laid plans of mice and men…you know the rest. Knowing they are not to become attracted to one another is difficult for them to maintain because they are falling in love. But Alexander is determined to do his duty and Eloise tries to support him.
Can they be apart with the feelings they have gained? Is there a chance that this marriage of convenience can remain that way? This book is beautifully woven together with some extra intricate knots. The characters of Eloise and Alexander are complex, and vulnerable. The conversation is clear and jovial. I loved this story! Don’t miss it!
