Mistress or Marriage? by Elizabeth Rolls (Mills & Boon Large Print Regency Hardcover)

Description from the book back cover: A simple choice ... The Helford line of succession is in danger. It's imperative that David should marry - and soon! He's determined to choose a wife of nobility and decorum as a matter of convenience - until his resolve is shaken by the independent and fiery Miss Sophie Marsden. Her homely beauty, forthrightness and virtually penniless state are nothing Viscount Helford desires in a wife, but she stirs a passion in him he cannot resist. The solution seems easy, but to take her as his mistress would tarnish her good name - something he knows she can't afford to lose. But can he afford to lose her?

Charming, light & really good

I gave this romance a 5-star rating due to its crisp writing, in-depth characterizations, and charming (but occasionally bad-tempered!) heroine...even the supporting cast is well-rounded! It's basically the story of a man (David, Lord Helford) trying NOT to fall in love and trying to make a marriage of pure convenience, but he gets tripped up by his friends & family, who would like to see him happily wed to the charming heroine (Sophie Marsden). A real page-turner and sexy, too! If you like Regencies with a little more to them, this is an excellent read. So far, this is the author's best book.
