Review: The Legendary Lord by Valerie Bowman

Description:

THE MAKING OF A LEGEND…

When Christian Forester, Viscount Berkeley, flees the stuffy ballrooms of London for his Scottish hunting lodge, the last thing he expects to find ensconced before his fire is an incredibly beautiful woman. But the plight of lovely young Sarah Highgate, who has run away from an unwanted betrothal, inspires an eminently practical exchange. He’ll safeguard her reputation with the town while she advises him how to best attract a proper bride…

As the undisputed belle of the season, Sarah has enchanted plenty of suitors. Still, she isn’t interested in marriage, especially not to the pompous bore her father has chosen for her. But her hasty escape seems reckless now that she’s estranged from her family and has no one to count on besides Christian. Turning the luckless lord into such a catch has another unplanned consequence for Sarah: Has he run away with her heart?


My Thoughts:

Sarah is running away from a betrothal. Christian had been unsuccessful in finding a wife. They agree to help each other. He'll help her avoid a scandal and she'll help him find a wife. I love these characters. Christian is a nice guy, but a bit clueless. And Sarah is obedient to her parents, even if it means sacrificing her own happiness. It was a fun, sweet read, until they made me angry by being stupid, then it was sweet again and I was happy. I loved seeing characters from previous books. This stands alone, but it's fun if you've been reading these for a while.
