irst off in case someone has read the anthology Three Weddings and a Kiss, this novella came from that book. I am guessing that they have re-released it on it's own in ebook format. I wouldn't want someone to start it thinking it's a new book and find out they have read it before.I really enjoyed this book, it was quick and sometimes I just need a quick read. The ending was a little predictable, but I still enjoyed it.Gwendolyn, is a really interesting character. She want's to be a doctor in a time when women were frowned upon for wanting to do such a thing. But she really loved the study of medicine and diseases and has had some schooling. So when she was asked to be the bride of an Earl who is dying from a disease of the mind, she readily accepts. To here it was more of a challenge to see if she could find out what was really wrong with his mind and she needed his money to build a hospital for those less fortunate. She wasn't looking for a love match though upon setting her sights on the Earl she found him handsome.Dorian, Earl of Rawnsley is not looking to get married. He knows that he will most likely be dying before the end of the year because he has inherited a mind disease. He is going mad and would like to do so in peace. Then he meets Gwendolyn and finds a very straight forward woman. She has no problems telling him that she really just wants his money to build a hospital. He finds her not to bad to look at and so he agrees. He doesn't want her to fall for him because he knows he is going to die, so he tried staying away from her, but that didn't last long.Gwendolyn is determined to find the source of his headaches and find out what is wrong with him and in the process they fall in love. I pretty much guess what was wrong with him, but I still really liked both the characters and the story.If you are in the mood or a short romantic read then I would suggest you check out The Mad Earl's Bride.
