Three Weeks to Wed

GENRE: Historical Romance (Regency)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
In
the first book of her dazzling new series, bestselling author Ella Quinn
introduces the soon-to-be Earl and Countess of Worthington
Lady Grace Carpenter is ready to seize the day--or rather, the night--with the
most compelling man she's ever known. Marriage would mean losing guardianship
of her beloved siblings, and surely no sane gentleman will take on seven
children not his own. But if she can have one anonymous tryst with Mattheus,
Earl of Worthington, Grace will be content to live out the rest of her life as
a spinster.
Matt had almost given up hope of finding a wife who could engage his mind as
well as his body. And now this sensual, intelligent woman is offering herself
to him. What could be more perfect? Except that after one wanton night, the
mysterious Grace refuses to have anything to do with him. Amid the distractions
of the Season he must convince her, one delicious encounter at a time, that no
obstacle--or family--is too much for a man who's discovered his heart's desire…
"Oh, the tangled webs we weave…especially when our hearts are involved.
Three Weeks to Wed is a delightfully heartwarming escape into the sparkling
world of the Regency. Ella Quinn weaves magic." --Cathy Maxwell, New
York Times bestselling author

My Review:
It 's a quick and light read, a fun pursuit of love.
Grace finds refuge from a thunderstorm with Mattheus, Earl of Worthington, a man who had almost married a few years earlier. She knows that will never find someone willing to marry her and take care of her numerous siblings. So she decides to indulge in a night of love and live forever in the memory of it. But runs away before she finds out that Matt is determined to marry her. He searches her desperately and she continually avoids him.
Matt has realized that he can no longer live without Grace, is willing to do anything to have her. Grace is very shy, a responsible girl who is taking care of her younger siblings but when it comes to love becomes really childish. They are a great couple, the chemistry is very good lacks only a little more tension between them.
I love big families and I immediately attached to this one, I had great fun reading the interactions between Grace's siblings and are curious to know them better, I hope there are other books of this series with them as protagonists.
Light, friendly, and easy to get into the story. It 's a good read for a break from routine.

EXCERPT:
Rising, he donned his dressing gown, walked down the
corridor, then opened the door to her chamber. Empty. Nothing to even indicate
she’d been there.
The clock on the mantel showed five o’clock. He went back to
his room and tugged the bellpull. In a few minutes, the boots brought hot water
for him to shave.
Matt waited until the water was poured into the basin. “The
lady who was here last evening, is she downstairs?”
“I donno, my lord. Ain’t seen no lady,” the lad mumbled, and
left.
Matt finished dressing and descended the stairs. His groom,
Mac, was in the common room eating. “Where are the others?”
Mac finished chewing and swallowed. “Gone, my lord. Their
coach ain’t in the yard.”
Something wasn’t right. Why would she have left and not told
him? “Be ready to leave in half an hour.”
He looked around for the landlord and, not finding him,
entered the parlor. Covered dishes set on the table, with one place setting. He
wished he was sharing the meal with her and conversing as they had the night
before. Hell. He wanted to be in a warm bed with her next to him.
Mr. Brown knocked on the door before entering. “My lord, you
was wishful of seeing me?”
Finally, Matt would get some answers. “Yes, I want to know
the lady’s name.”
The innkeeper opened his eyes wide. “What lady, my lord?”
Matt bit the inside of his lip and tried to keep from losing
his temper. “The lady who was here last night. The one I shared dinner with.”
The landlord started backing out of the parlor, shaking his
head. “Weren’t no lady here, my lord.”
