This just in from Library Journal: Dare, Tessa. Say Yes to the Marquess. Avon. (Castles Ever After, Bk. 2). Jan. 2015. 384p. ISB N 9780062240200. pap. $7.99; ebk. ISB N 9780062240187. HISTORICAL ROMANCE Engaged for eight long years to the Marquess of Granville, who is always abroad on diplomatic missions for the Crown, Clio Whitmore is thrilled when her surprise inheritance of Twill Castle means she no longer needs to marry for security and can call off her upcoming wedding. Now all she needs is for her fiancé’s reprobate, prizefighting brother to sign the papers to dissolve the betrothal in the Marquess’s continuing absence. But Rafe Brandon, who’s been handling the marquessate’s affairs and would like nothing better than to see his brother back home, has no intention of doing so—and it’s up to him to convince Clio to go on with the nuptials. Naturally, it doesn’t work out that way. VERDICT A smart and spirited woman who wants control of her own life, a caring, responsible nobleman who hides his feelings behind his “Devil’s Own” reputation, and a castle full of quirky characters (a brilliant, outspoken teenager is exceptional) keep the hilarious action on track in this latest addition to Dare’s whimsical series. Dare (Romancing the Duke) lives in Southern California.
