Tempting the Marquess: A Weston Novel Book

This is such an improvement from the first book in the series. I really liked the characters and the storyline as a whole. Maybe I liked it better because I did not feel like Olivia was another female obsessed with making a man love her, but rejects said man once he recognizes that he really truly loves her.

Olivia Weston, is practical but still has a romantic side (a description that can be used for many twenty-first century women). She believes in love, and is excited by love but she is also aware that love does not happen for everyone. Olivia while at her aunt's home in Scotland finds the diary of the late Marquessa of Sheldon. Wherein she reads of Lord Sheldon's love for his former wife and how he went about showing his wife how much he loved her. Unfortunately since the passing of his wife, Lord Sheldon, the step-son of Olivia's aunt Kate, lived a reclusive life at Castle Arlyss just him and his young son, Edward. (Yes, I know a Castle!!! don't you just love Gothic romance novels?) Olivia, being the adventuress that she is, decided to go with her Aunt Kate and cousin Charlotte to Castle Arlyss on a mission to bring some cheer to the Marquess' life and help him live again. I know it sounds like another green girl's scheme to trap a Marquess, but Olivia honestly did not have any such intentions, eventhough she found Jason Traherne, Marquess of Sheldon, beautiful (at least physically beautiful). However, Olivia does not find Jase to be as beautiful when he opens his mouth.

If you like historical romances, you will love this one. The passion and longing that are essential elements of romance novels are in abundance in this story. Read and enjoy!!!
