Review:Miss Winters Proposes by Frances Fowlkes
An unseemly proposal...
Juliet Winters has come up with a wonderfully devious plan to avoid marrying her vile cur of a cousin. First, she'll propose marriage to her handsome, reclusive neighbor, Lord Colwyn. Then, once she has both name and financial support, she'll be able to pursue her true (if rather unladylike) passion -- breeding dogs. But when Lord Colwyn rejects her proposal... Juliet must take matters into her own hands.
The last thing Benjamin Colwyn expected was for the spirited Juliet to blackmail him into marriage -- especially not by kidnapping his beloved canine companion. Yet despite his yearning for peace and isolation, he finds himself wanting to help her, if only to protect her from a marriage to a disreputable scoundrel. He certainly doesn't expect the woman who pilfered his dog to steal his heart, as well...
After the death of his first wife, Benjamin decided not to get married again. Because he feared the loss and think it is better to stay alone forever. Juliet's father is sick and decided to arrange her marriage with a cousin who will inherit his title and estate one day. But Juliet knows that if she married her cousin she will never be able to live a life she so desires. Therefore, there is only one thing to do, marry a man who doesn't want a wife so that she can live as she pleases. That is why she proposes to her neighbour...
The book is well written and all the characters are interesting, especially Miss Winters. I loved the beginning of the book. It was epic and once I started reading I couldn't put it down. It is light hearted romance which is ideal to read this winter.
