The Husband List (The Worthington Brides)
Harry Stern is in London to take his seat in the Commons and find a bride. Madeline Viviers fits the bill. Madeline is torn; Mama wants a titled peer, but Harry meets all the requirements on Madeline’s list. Should she please Mama or follow her heart?
Readers who delight in the high-class Regency world will adore Madeline’s busy schedule of balls, calls, dinners, shopping, and dawn gallops in Hyde Park. Harry woos her with waltzes, rides, chocolate ices, and his assistance as Madeline rescues the occasional downtrodden person in distress. References to events in The Marriage List will puzzle those not familiar with sister Eleanor’s story, and only dedicated fans will keep straight the enormous cast of characters, all couples from previous Quinn books. While the plot and the prose tread the genre’s familiar, pleasing patterns, the gentle attraction between the leads, lack of urgency or emotional turmoil, and exploits of clever children make this book a light-hearted, winsome treat.
