Sir Richard Kenworthy has less than a month to find a bride. He knows he can't be too picky, but when he sees Iris Smythe-Smith hiding behind her cello at her family's infamous musicale, he thinks he might have struck gold. She's the type of girl you don't notice until the second—or third—look, but there's something about her, something simmering under the surface, and he knows she's the one.
Iris Smythe–Smith is used to being underestimated. With her pale hair and quiet, sly wit she tends to blend into the background, and she likes it that way. So when Richard Kenworthy demands an introduction, she is suspicious. He flirts, he charms, he gives every impression of a man falling in love, but she can't quite believe it's all true. When his proposal of marriage turns into a compromising position that forces the issue, she can't help thinking that he's hiding something . . . even as her heart tells her to say yes. AMAZON 4 Stars
Fecund- exactly. I didn't know what it meant either. Its in the early part of the book. Well, to be fair, the sentence that it was included in made the meaning pretty easy to guess.
I laughed and laughed when it came to the poetry reading turned play. It had to do with unicorns and the droll, dry sense of humor in the way it was explained I think. Tears were literally running down my face, then something else would happen or be said and I was off laughing again. Its okay, because as things go along things get more serious. Especially when Iris finds out the truth about her hasty marriage and its a doozy. She knew something wasn't quite right when it came to Richard's pursuit of her but she just couldn't put her finger on what it was. Richard was an honorable man having to do something that even he felt wasn't all that honorable. But he loved his family and was willing to do what he had to for them. It just made it all the harder when he realized how much he was beginning to like Iris. Iris is one of "the florals", sisters named after flowers. She is quite different than the rest, with her rational, direct way of approaching things. She has an excellent mind and she's an observer of people, she's more comfortable that way. Its also another reason why she can't figure out Richard and his sudden attention to her. They had some fun, interesting conversations that made me smile. Of course then there was the sadness that they went through when the truth finally hit the fan. There is a HEA of course but not before an interesting twist and turn. Didn't see that one coming and I'm usually pretty good at that, especially in this genre.
