Overview

Lady Augusta Worth, eldest daughter of the Duke of Faraday, will not settle for anything less than love. When she arrives in London late in the Season, she has high hopes of making a match. She has already attracted a long list of potential suitors, all of whom have noteworthy prospects. To help in making the difficult decision, she invites them all to a Country House party just after the Season's end.

But before any future husband of Lady Augusta's can approach her for her hand, he must also gain the approval of her family. And that may prove to be more difficult than expected, as one by one, whether self-implicated, aided by another, or by sheer circumstance, each of her suitors discredit themselves. It will take a true Gentleman of Worth to capture Lady Augusta's heart.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Marks (Lady Eugenia's Holiday) comes up with a Regency version of The Bachelorette in this cute historical. Lady Augusta Worth, the beautiful daughter of a duke, could have her pick of the eligible men in England, but is determined to marry for love. Encouraged by her family, she invites a dozen promising prospects to a house party in the country where perhaps she can identify her soul mate. Her high hopes are dashed by her family's antics as they chase away candidates whose behavior reveals their unworthiness, leaving only Augusta's oldest friend and neighbor, Richard Wilbanks, whom she has somehow overlooked. Marks's attempts to infuse the story with humor are heavy-handed and the outcome too well telegraphed, but the setting and story pacing are pleasant. (Jan.)
