This sweet and ultimately upbeat story has elements of abuse that form the background of the heroine. Catherine Fullbright, the eldest daughter of Edmund Fullbright, is the Cinderella to this tale. Treated abysmally all her life, Catherine has determined she will never marry, never put herself in the power of another man.
Catherine’s sister Elizabeth Fullbright is everything she is not: loved, blonde, petite, graceful. When Elizabeth gets engaged to Quint Childers, Lord Valentine, Catherine knows it’s only a matter of time before her father forces her into a marriage with a horrible man.
Attempts to persuade Valentine that her sister is as selfish and soulless as a girl could be backfire. Edmund thinking his youngest daughter could snag him an even better prospect for a son-in-law concocts a plan that switches the two daughters at the altar.
Quint is angry and a tad relieved if he would admit it to himself. Elizabeth might be the perfect society wife with all her charm and beauty, but it was shy and sweet Catherine he imagined in his bed. Despite that, he’s not sure if can ever forgive Catherine her part in the whole affair. How can he trust her after this?
For Catherine she fears he will continue to think the worst of her, that he lusts after Elizabeth and the worst part of being tricked into marry her… is her. Everything unfolds neatly, predictable in some ways and not in others. It will leave you smiling fondly as you close the book.
In addition, I really enjoyed Catherine’s spunky cousins who are all unique in their very own way. I believe they will be the subjects of future books in the Misadventures in Matrimony series.

Keira's favorite type of heroes are blind, scarred, and tortured... yes, she understands those should be separate, but all 3 at once is also nice! She enjoys historical romances best and adores audio books because great narrators turn books into auditory/mental movies (and she loves her romantic dramas like Pride and Prejudice/North and South!)
