Keeping The Castle
Keeping The Castle | Patrice Kindl
4 posts | 12 read | 5 to read
Seventeen-year-old Althea is the sole support of her entire family, and she must marry well. But there are few wealthy suitors--or suitors of any kind--in their small Yorkshire town of Lesser Hoo. Then, the young and attractive (and very rich) Lord Boring arrives, and Althea sets her plans in motion. There's only one problem; his friend and business manager Mr. Fredericks keeps getting in the way. And, as it turns out, Fredericks has his own set of plans . . . This witty take on the classic Regency--Patrice Kindl's first novel in a decade--is like literary champagne!

A bit of I Capture The Castle plus some Austen heroines. Our beautiful heroine is determined to marry rich to help save her family's crumbling estate, but her overly forthright tongue keeps frightening away prospects. When a handsome baron and his financially savvy cousin come to town, things are looking up - even if one of them is terribly annoying with his bluntness...

This was actually a pretty cute book. Definitely based on Pride & Prejudice with a bit of Cinderella thrown in there.

So true! He wants someone pretty which is what she has to offer but her wanting him because he has money is insulting. Men!

Apparently this book takes themes from Austen so if you like Austen you'll like this book. Love me some Austen so I'll give it a try.
