From Booklist

After scandalously eloping with an Italian count, Charlotte Collins returns to England a penniless widow and finds to her dismay that she is no longer welcomed by polite society. Determined to regain her rightful place as the toast of the ton, Charlotte begins searching for an eligible, wealthy, and, more important, handsome, nobleman. Already hunted by every marriage-minded miss and lovelorn widow in London, Alasdair "Dare" McGregor has no intention of succumbing to Charlotte's matrimonial schemes, but somehow he winds up having to propose to the seductive minx. Charlotte is convinced that Dare will now provide her with everything she most desires, only to find that her new husband insists on a marriage based on love. So Charlotte, a remarkably original heroine whose unique outlook and frequent mangling of English will bemuse, bewitch, and beguile readers, constructs another of her "brilliant" plans. Imbued with a delectable sense of wit, the second of MacAlister's "Noble" Regency historical romances is an irresistible, laughter-laced treat. John Charles

More About the Author

For as long as she can remember, Katie MacAlister has loved reading. Growing up in a family where a weekly visit to the library was a given, Katie spent much of her time with her nose buried in a book. Despite her love for novels, she didn't think of writing them until she was contracted to write a non-fiction book about software. Since her editor refused to allow her to include either witty dialogue or love scenes in the software book, Katie swiftly resolved to switch to fiction, where she could indulge in world building, tormenting characters, and falling madly in love with all her heroes.

Two years after she started writing novels, Katie sold her first romance, Noble Intentions. More than thirty books later, her novels have been translated into numerous languages, been recorded as audiobooks, received several awards, and placed on the New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists. She also writes for the young adult audience as Katie Maxwell.

Katie lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and dogs, and can often be found lurking around online. You are welcome to visit her at http://www.katiemacalister.com

4.0 out of 5 stars Charlotte is delightful, even if she's not quite Gillian..., April 28, 2003

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Noble Destiny (Mass Market Paperback)
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!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Must read!, July 12, 2003

"reluctant_vampire" (LA PORTE, IN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Noble Destiny (Mass Market Paperback)
I happened to pick this book up in a megastore because the cover art caught my eye. I read the back cover blurb and thought I'd pick it up. I've never read such a hysterical romance novel! It kept my interested piqued at all times and I couldn't wait to turn the next page! It was cleverly written, with hilarious plays on words and innuendos in every chapter. The ending was quite unexpected, but well done. I haven't enjoyed a book as much in a very long time. I highly recommend it!
