An Unsuitable Lady for a Lord by Cathleen Ross

An Unsuitable Lady for a Lord by Cathleen Ross – a Review

Description:
Lord Aaron Lyle has one hell of a choice: a bankrupt dukedom, or marriage to some simpering society miss so his spendthrift father can get his hands on her huge dowry. He won’t do it. He has a reputation to maintain, and besides, he’d rather run naked through the streets of London than marry anyone at all. Surely, there must be a third option.

Then Lady Crystal Wilding walks into his life, a bluestocking, full of subversive thoughts, who hates the notion of marriage even more than he does. He is intrigued…and suddenly he has an idea. He invites the totally unsuitable lady home on the pretext of presenting her as a possible match…but in truth, Aaron has something far more pleasurable in mind. For her part, Lady Crystal has her own reasons for going along with his harebrained scheme.

Imagine their shock when his highly proper family loves her and starts planning the wedding. Good lord. Now what?

Review:

An Unsuitable Lady for a Lord by Cathleen Ross is a novel in the Scottish Lords and Ladies series. This is the story of Lord Aaron Lyle the Marquis of Lyle and Lady Crystal Wilding, daughter of a celebrated warrior, Lord Wilder, recently deceased.

Aaron is the son of the Duke of Lomond and is being harassed by his father to find a suitable bride of the Duke’s choosing. He simply doesn’t want any of the suitable, but uninteresting women his father has paraded in front of him.

Lady Crystal Wilding’s father is recently deceased, releasing her and her sisters to find their own matches or none at all in the case of Lady Crystal. She’s intelligent and has sworn not to marry and be under any man’s control. She wants to dedicate herself to changing the minds of the gentry and letting women and men decide who to marry for themselves, or to not do so.

Aaron is entranced by the lovely blonde Lady Crystal’s wit and sense of humor. He finds himself aligned with her ideas as well as entranced by her beauty.

That’s the basic setup of the story. I won’t spoil the read for you. She’s a speaker and we are gifted with an appearance for speaking in the house of Sir Walter Scott.

Enjoy the lovely dialog, the steamy romance that grows between Aaron and Crystal. Is it really impossible for them to marry? Much danger and foul deeds are afoot as these two wonderfully crafted characters find their way to each other.
