Do you want to read a fast paced love story that has hilarious characters? How about a book with a heroine that punches out a suitor not one time but twice? Then this novella is for you.Charlotte Lightfoot lives in society's background. She has two joys of her life, her clan of nephews and a niece and arranging flowers. She can't just rearrange her own flowers, she feels compelled to do it at balls. Charlotte is unloved and unwanted by her super mean and evil sister-in-law, Elizabeth. She is pushing Charlotte to marry her creepy and handsy Cousin Horace. If she does not get a offer of marriage by the end of the Season, she must marry him. What's a girl to do?Sebastian Wilkinson, the Earl of Marley, is a very rich and deeply cares for his grandmother, Dowager Countess of Marley, who raised him after his parents death. She is getting old and sick and wants him to marry this Season. Sebastian will marry for her and his bride must be rich and have great noble bloodlines. What's a rich earl to do to weed out unfavorable matches?Sebastian and Charlotte team up to help one another. He will show society that she is desirable by showing his regard for her. Charlotte will find out all the gossip about Princess Anna and tell the princess all about him. What they don't expect is to have a meddling grandmother, a troublemaking dog, flowers galore and a house party to make them fall in love.This is the first book of Ms. Broadfield that I have read and I am now her newest fan. She writes with humor and comes up with ridiculous situations. She even wrote a very sweet princess that I actually wanted to be friends with. I love how his grandmother is always slapping Sebastian upside his head! Oscar, her dog, goes everywhere with grandma (balls, carriages etch.) and causes havoc. The novella is longer than most and I give it a score of 4 fingers up and 9 toes.Reviewed from a NetGalley ARC.
