Synopsis

Once upon a time there were three young ladies, who, despite their fortunes, had been on the marriage mart a bit too long. They were known as “the Spinster Heiresses” . . . He’s inherited a title, but not a penny to speak of, so the Earl of Rochdale knows he must find a wife—preferably one tolerably pretty and good-tempered, but definitely wealthy, and who will exchange her fortune for his family name.His choice: Leonie Charnock, one of the season’s “Spinster Heiresses.” Years before, the earl had saved the dark-eyed beauty’s reputation and she is still breathtakingly lovely, leading Rochdale to hope that their marriage will be more than in name only.However, Leonie doesn’t want to be anyone’s wife. Nearly destroyed by the secrets in her past, Leonie agrees to their union with one condition: there will be a wedding but no bedding. But it’s a condition the new Countess Rochdale isn’t sure even she can keep. . .

Goodreads review by Ava on June 16, 2021

I was hoping that this would be the first Cathy Maxwell that I love. Unfortunately that is not the case :( I loved the heroine’s growth in this book. But I honestly did not like the hero.

Goodreads review by Sofia on December 26, 2017

I honestly think this book was over the top. It had too many subplots and none of them was explored as much as it should have been.
