Review: An Unsuitable Lady for a Lord (Scottish Lords and Ladies #1) by Cathleen Ross

Synopsis

Lord Aaron Lyle has one hell of a choice: a bankrupt dukedom, or marriage to some simpering society miss so his spendthrift father can get his hands on her huge dowry. He won't do it. He has a reputation to maintain, and besides, he'd rather run naked through the streets of London than marry anyone at all. Surely, there must be a third option.

Then Lady Crystal Wilding walks into his life, a bluestocking, full of subversive thoughts, who hates the notion of marriage even more than he does. He is intrigued…and, suddenly, he has an idea. He invites the totally unsuitable lady home on the pretext of presenting her as a possible match…but in truth, Aaron has something far more pleasurable in mind. For her part, Lady Crystal has her own reasons for going along with his harebrained scheme.

Imagine their shock when his highly proper family loves her and starts planning the wedding. Good lord. Now what?

Review

I loved it! It's a story about two unconventional people trying to fight what society expected of them. Lady Crystal Wilding is no meek lady. She has opinions and she isn't afraid of voicing them. Her sole purpose in life is to champion women's education and much-needed freedom. Lord Aaron Lyle is just trying to find a way out of arranged marriage. He hates the women his father chooses for him and wants to have the freedom to select his own wife. When the two meet, sparks fly but more than that they realize that they have the same ideas. The more time they spend together, the more they want to be in each other's company. But do they really have a future together or are they going to mess up the good things in their lives? Find out soon. ;)
