When an outrageous meeting leads to inappropriate desire, will family honor and duty destroy a chance for true love?
Felix Alan Darrington, Earl of Swandon has been summoned to London by his mother. Though he has obligations to Parliament, his meddling parent has reminded him it’s time to do his duty, marry and provide her with grandchildren. But Felix refuses to wed under dictate. He’ll choose the woman and the time, and if he’s lucky he’ll marry for love.
Clarice Delacroix is a lady’s companion. Though she’s an illegitimate daughter of a duke, her mother was a French opera singer which puts Clarice firmly between worlds. Possessed of a quick temper and a penchant for making pastries, she longs for adventure, romance and acceptance, but she refuses to be anyone’s mistress. Her mother’s life is not for her.
As Felix schemes to spend more time with Clarice and find out why the Frenchwoman intrigues him, the titled lady who wishes to be his countess conspires to keep them apart. Felix quickly finds that balancing relationships between family and love is not as easy as first thought, or as black and white. Someone in his circle isn’t telling the truth, and the repercussions could prove deadly to Clarice’s future.

Really the author simply has no concept of how to keep a story interesting.The hero was such a wimp that I couldn't wait to finish this novel. The heroine..seemed at times to be intelligent and strong..then you found it was just an illusion. Her employer was a prostitute disguised as a Lady. What a mess.. If this wasn't enough, slavery was involved and they all found this an acceptable way to make money.
Ugh..not one of my best buys.

Marriage Minded Lord a Darrington family novel edition by Sandra Sookoo Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
As a fan of the historical genre I've read many books by many authors and found this one satisfying but with some flaws. The theme of a desperate mother demanding her children get married is familiar but I appreciated how these siblings stood up for themselves by holding out for love instead of living up to family obligations. Though some of the characters were over-the-top the main protagonists had great chemistry and unrelenting sexual tension.
Clarice has one foot in the world of the lower class while having a spot in the upper class if only she'll take it. Though her mother taught her everything about being a mistress she has no desire to live at the whim of men. She's outspoken about many things and wants to be independent and loved for who she is, not what she is. To find her way in society she acts as a companion to a vile woman who abuses her both mentally as well as physically and puts up with it even when given an option to escape. I both admired her attitude and was left frustrated by her at the same time.
Felix is a dutiful son and charming man who wants to marry for love. He wants to be happy and is immediately drawn to Clarice who constantly challenges him. He crosses class boundaries to interact with her every chance he gets and is willing to turn society upside down to make her his. He doesn't always say the right thing where she's concerned but he tries to do the right things to make her happy and ultimately save her from a vindictive woman's jealousy.
A lot of the early interactions between Felix and Clarice involve just talking. He digs deep into her background and she gets him to see the issues of class in a different way. Their interactions crackle with sexual tension which leads to a slow build-up and a scorching encounter very late in the story. Though Felix and Clarice spending so much time together doesn't seem believable it does make for an entertaining start to a burgeoning relationship. The blatant acts of lewdness and crudeness that Lady Drummond demonstrates without being held accountable also don't ring true. The scandal surrounding how she makes her money was merely used as a dramatic device and therefore felt unnecessary and lost the powerful impact it could have had. On a whole this was an entertaining story with sparkling interactions between the main characters that made for a satisfying romance and I look forward to the next sibling to be put on the marriage market.
A sweet, lovely historical romance, Marriage Minded Lord was a wonderful read. It had sweet romance and a psychotic lady determined to tear the lovers apart. I really enjoyed reading this fantastic book. Loved it!
Clarice was a fun heroine. She's very impulsive and tends to do things without thinking them through, which leads to some entertaining moments. Like when she "accidentally" drops a tray of desserts on her cruel mistress. It definitely brought a tone of humor to the story. She was a strong character who knew what she wanted and what she didn't want. I only had one minor issue. She is very much a strong character. So, I didn't get why she let her mistress treat her the way she did. It didn't seem to fit with her character. But, other than that, I really liked Clarice. She was great.
Felix was a sweetheart. I adored him! Like Clarice, he was a character who knew what he wanted. And, what he wanted was Clarice. He was smitten with her right away and, as soon as he knew his feelings for her ran deep, he was after nothing less than marriage, and to hell with anyone who gossiped about them. He was so sweet and strong and devoted and just adorable. I thought he was perfect.
The romance was mostly sweet, with a hint of spice. Clarice and Felix were so cute together. Both were very honest with themselves and each other about their feelings, so that was nice. It was easy to tell how infatuated they were with each other. And, there was a dash of spice that was very hot, though it wasn't the focus of their relationship. I thought they were a lovely couple.
Lady Drummond is Clarice's mistress and she played a big part, so I just want to mention her. This woman is mean. It was not difficult to hate her. She is cruel and awful and very hate-able. How she treated Clarice, how she tried to break the lovers apart, how she gained her fortune. It was all horrifying. And she is full on crazy. Completely off her rocker. And, her character made things interesting. She was a character that I loved to hate.
The plot was fast paced. I was hooked the entire way through. I really enjoyed the story and the ending was perfect.
Marriage Minded Lord was a fantastic historical romance. I loved this book! It was a truly lovely, enjoyable read. Lovers of historical romance, you have to read this book.
