When a Regency earl accepts the unfortunate circumstance of an earldom that is asset rich and cash poor, it is imperative to live within one’s means or lose face and the admiration of one’s peers. And so, Brian Earl of Aftlake, blithely lending himself to the pursuit of happiness as he knows it, his ambition is solely to enhance his standing by way of an agreeable marriage to a darling of a girl, but Fate conspires to scuttle his plans and blight his future fortunes.But, if a young lady of great wealth and no rank has an eye to a title, there are ways and means to acquire one’s heartfelt desire. And Miss Katherine Chandler has Fate on her team and that of attractive attributes. Hence, a business proposition, of which Katherine assures Brian of immense gain, not least within the marital bed and that of his purse, proves mighty tempting. Dash it all, what must a man do?Beggars Can’t Be Choosier is a traditional sweet Regency tale of fortunes lost and fortunes gained. With a mixed bag of characters, emotional misunderstandings and passionate dalliances, the author presents a reader with sense of time and place and attention to finite detail. A charming read.
