No man's darling . . .
One by one, Lady Caroline Grayson watched her four sisters celebrate their betrothals, truly sure that marriage was not in her future—and perfectly pleased with that fact. Or so she thought.
Brent Ravenscroft, Earl of Weymerth, nearly gave his life for the Crown. He returned to England a hero with no intention of taking a bride, certain his brusque demeanor would intimidate any young ladies drawn to his good looks—or so he thought.
Bound by a business transaction, Caroline and Brent begin life as husband and wife. Utterly determined not to fall for each other, they stubbornly ignore the sparks flying between them and keep secrets at every turn. They would resist the lure of love—and the pleasures of the marriage bed—forever . . . or so they thought.
Winner of the 1999 RITA award for Best Romance -- Best First Book.

My Darling Caroline
The great reviews drew me to this book.
But although I found it to be nice, okay, even sweet at times, there's nothing that lifts it much beyond the ordinary.
*Spoilers*
Likable
The mcs are are well matched.
The just back from war and PTSD suffering H - who oscillates between being an enlightened, almost feminist guy and a thin skinned, insulting and judgemental jerk and the plain, actually-a-genius h make for a cute pair.
They slowly and surely grow as a couple without too many hiccups. Only their well kept secrets are ticking bombs that can and do rip them apart.
The h is not just your average bluestocking but a Mensa level genius, a female Gregor Mendel who grows and breeds flowering plants. I liked her but some of her choices are not well explained.
Her elder sister clears so many things at the end - for the H and the reader. I liked her dressing down the H.
Not so much
Unlike many, I was okay with the H's illegitimate daughter. Only she came out as a shock and Yes, the H has to be 'applauded' for accepting her but still I disliked that she's mostly left to the servants to be reared. Kudos to the h for trying to better her life but I don't think I read her being given a room inside the house. I hope I'm wrong.
The h's 'secret' is a bit ott and comparably more unforgivable.
He had no right to take a higher moral ground.
Then those inner and outer monologues at the end are tedious and yawny. Especially the uncle's and the father's. Jane, the sister nailed it though.
