What is this book about?

Heather Nottingham, the eldest of four daughters, has everything and nothing when it comes to making a match. When London is packed to the brim with heiresses and beauties, most gentlemen don’t bat an eye for a lady who is adequate and average in almost every single way, even if she is a viscount’s daughter.

As her second Season plods on with nary a suitor in sight, Heather’s anxious mother and overbearing aunt persuade her to set her cap for the wealthy, if untitled, young Mr. Avington. But is the flirtatious heir to the Avington fortune even ready to settle down? And what is Heather supposed to do about the quiet, searing stares of Mr. Avington’s younger brother, a man she has actually come to admire?

My review:

This is a clean (with just a hint of steamy), regency, marriage-of-convenience story. I enjoyed the sweet relationship that eventually blossomed between Heather and Edgar. The banter between the Nottingham sisters also grabbed my interest. The beginning was slow for me and I struggled to connect with the main characters, but I thought the newly married, behind-the-doors, interaction was handled well.

What I enjoyed most about this book:

The relationship of the Nottingham sisters

What I didn’t like about this book:

Couldn’t connect with the main characters

Would I recommend this book to others? Possibly, especially if you like clean and sweet regency romance. This is the first book in the series.
