Rezension(9): "〈a href=http://www.kirkusreviews.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/kirkus_logo.png alt=Kirkus border=0 /〉〈/a〉: October 1, 2021 Thomas Sharpe needs to marry a wealthy bride in order to provide for his family, but he falls for his best friend's sister instead. Thomas has been on the hunt for an heiress since his father lost all their money. Incredibly charming and exceedingly handsome, he shouldn't find it hard to make a match, but many people worry he's too rakish to commit. When Lady Jane Capel proposes a deal--if he takes her places she hasn't been and teaches her about intimacy, she'll help him secure a wealthy bride--he accepts even though he knows it's risky. After Jane's engagement ended in heartbreak two years ago, she moved in with her half brother, Percy Waters, rather than search for someone else to marry, causing her parents to disown her. She's tired of being ignorant, and Thomas is the perfect choice to show her the world. Percy warns the two not to fall in love, but when they inevitably do anyway, they have to reconsider their duties and choices. Thomas and Jane bring out the best in each other, and their sexual exploits (including one in a hot air balloon!) are scorching. The only conflict is Thomas' need to marry into money,there's no other major drama between these delightful characters, so readers can simply enjoy their adventurous escapades as they fall in love. Heartfelt sibling relationships add extra charm. The story is predictable, and nothing surprising happens, but that's not a downfall. Just the ticket for those looking for a low-stakes, comforting, sizzling romance. COPYRIGHT(2021) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
