Settle in for a great read!
Marissa Rotherhild knew want she wanted from life – a husband but not just any husband one that had no interest in anything scientific. She had spent her life with parents who paid more attention to the ferns and moss than they did to their own daughter. Marissa even knew who her husband should be – George Kent as he was handsome, interesting to talk to and paid attention to her. However Marissa’s fellow members of the Husband Hunters Club questioned her reasoning on why she would settle for this particular man and she explained that that he would make her laugh and give her a sense of belonging that her parents never did.
Marissa thought George was her perfect match and she was delighted when he invited her for a weekend house party at his family estate. But what a surprise when she arrives to discover that it is not George she desires but in fact his brother Lord Valentine Kent. Valentine is everything she did not want in a husband in that he is overly intelligent, driven and focused on his main goal in life which is finding The Crusader’s Rose one of those mysteries that had become legend in the botanical circles. Valentine was committed to finding this perfect rose and he thought nothing could stop him but the minute he laid his eyes on Marissa everything else seemed unimportant and his focus became winning her hand and proving his affections were built on love and respect not a quick conquest.
But there is someone else trying to find the rose and this person is as obsessed as Valentine but his motive is revenge not science, but revenge for what Valentine does not know. While the man stays one step ahead of Valentine and Marissa as they follow one lead after another Valentine becomes more convinced that he has a traitor in his home and that in proper English society is not going to be tolerated. But trying to find the rose becomes less important with every passing day he spends in Marissa’s company as she it turns out was what he was looking for all along – long and companionship.
The second book in the “Husband Hunters Club” series is as amazing as the first (Led Astray by a Rake) and I expected nothing less from Ms. Bennett. The characters are refreshing, colorful and such a delight that you have such sorrow when the book is over because you want it to go on and on the romance is that sweet.
