This review is from: A Marriage of Inconvenience (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is vintage Chesney, with all the wit and insight into Regency times she inserts into all her books. Isabella and Harry have real human foibles and their path to true love is full of laughter and misunderstandings. A must for any Chesney fan.

This review is from: A Marriage of Inconvenience (Mass Market Paperback)

He stated quite bluntly - and much to Isabbela's relief - that theirs would be a marriage in name only.

But neither Harry nor Isabella was aware of the other's disguise - contrived in vain to thwart the impending nupitals. Isabella was not the selfish Ice Princess she seemed, nor was Harry a mincing dandy, but a prime Corinthian.

A search for buried treasure and a thwarted suitor out for revenge add adventure to the marital mayhem, as two hearts discover that love lies no father than the enarest kiss.

This review is from: A Marriage of Inconvenience (Hardcover)

First title of Chesney's I've read. It was a good plot and had some interesting characters I would have like to have seen more of. It was a short read at under 200 pages. The ending was quick and not really to my liking in dept. It needed some more dialogue between Isabella and Harry.
