I liked this book, the storyline was good and the main characters were well written and believable.  Eleanor Fiske is tall, pale and thin and not perceived as the most attractive woman in Newport but her mother is determined that she will be engaged to marry an English peer, Sir Alfred before the summer is over.John Bonner is rich but new money is not well received in Newport, The Vanderbilt's , Astor's and Fiske's looked down their noses at anyone who wasn't a part of the 400. John Bonner didn't care, he wanted a wife that would give him the entre to society for their children. He'd provide money and she could live as she was accustomed to and he would provide the money. The only fly in the plan was Mrs Fiske and her determination that her daughter would marry a title.When Eleanor is introduced to John by her father, she instantly realizes that he is not the kind of man her mother approves of and he doesn't seem to be the kind of man to be attracted to her. But he's interesting and the first man she has to look up to. While quiet and shy Eleanor can be determined. John is about to be surprised that she is not what he thinks.
