Overview

Annabel is about to marry the perfect man . . .

The last thing Miss Annabel Wheaton desires is true love. She learned the hard way that love makes a woman foolish and leads only to heartache. That’s why she agreed to marry an earl who needs her money. He’s got a pedigree and a country estate, and he won’t ever break her heart. There’s only one problem . . .

Christian isn’t about to let her marry that pompous prig . . .

Christian Du Quesne, Duke of Scarborough, thinks the stubborn heiress is about to make the biggest mistake of her life, and he’s determined to stop her. Tempting beautiful women is Christian’s forte, after all. When her family offers him a nice sum of money to stop the wedding, he’s happy to accept.

Falling in love with Annabel was never supposed to be part of the bargain . . .

    At what point do we cease with all these rules of engagement?

    At the turn of the 20th century having old money was treated with respect, but having new money put you in a state of being caught between the world you came from and not accepted in the one you long to be part of. For Miss Annabel Wheaton a newly moneyed Southern Belle the only way out of this rut is to marry a titled English man. No one thinks this is a good idea but Annabel is a determined steel magnolia who knows how to get her way.

    Annabel¿s uncle is determined to stop a relationship doomed for disaster and hires a rake to make it all go away. The idea was for Christian du Quesne, the Duke of Scarborough to use his charm and make the wedding come to a screeching halt. What no one expected was for a complete explosion. Christian may be desperate to fill his family coffers but not enough to marry and yet here was Annabel now seeking a husband due to his action, which Christian is remiss to explain even to himself. Neither of them wants to depend on the other but the resolution to the issue appears to be the road of most resistance from both of them. Annabel and Christian will walk the correct path but where it will lead is the question right now.

    Christian knows he should never love again but perhaps Annabel will be the salve to heal his heart and set him free. If wishes were hopes than the one answer both of them is seeking shall be found.

    This is a wonderful combination of the still under development American life with established English culture. This book is a reflection of changes that happened in the colonies but still show the problems and how class order issues remain regardless of your side of the pond. Annabel is the best of what women have become and Christian is a man who knows change is coming and looks to embrace it.

    Very nicely done Ms. Guhrke

    The third installment of the Abandoned at the Alter series is just as lovely as the first two. The story begins with Christian, Duke of Scarborough getting paid by Annabel Wheaton's Uncle Arthur to dissuade Annabel from an (in)convenient marriage. Annabel is an American heiress who believes she can marry an Earl to become accepted into society. I won't spoil it for you but Annabel's perceptions change as the story progresses.
    Ms. Guhrke's is a master at characterization. I have to admit I fell a bit in love with Christian. He was the perfect combination of tortured hero and irreverent bad boy. Annabel was wonderfully strong and independent while being feminine. The story is set in the early 1900's which is an unusual time period for historical romance but I loved it. Author's please think of writing in this time period. I think it offers a new world of opportunities with the advancements that had been made since the regency period.
    This was a wonderfully entertaining read and I am truly sorry this series is at an end. Ms. Guhrke how about Dinah's story someday? She could be a flapper in the twenties.

    Strong American heroine makes this a must read.

    Miss Annabel Wheaton grew up a poor Southern girl who unexpectedly inherited a fortune in gold mines. She doesn’t fit into the world of the privileged and has decided that the best way to be accepted is to marry a British lord. Her uncle thinks the marriage is a mistake and hires Christian Du Quesne, Duke of Scarborough, to persuade her to stop the wedding by telling her the truth about arranged British marriages. Christian soon cares about Annabel and wants her to avoid the type of marriage he had with his own American wife. This story provides an unflinching look at the marriages between new American money and the British aristocracy. The characters are strong ones that you quickly care about and find yourself rooting for, especially when a scandal forces Annabel to take matters in hand.

    very sad

    This could be a wonderful book, if the author didn`t lost romance in the end. Who want`s to read in a love szene the encounter with an other lover. No duke would marry a girl with a past.

    Good

    It's a fairly good read, although it has spots that are a little predictable and others that seem rather rushed. A pretty unique timeframe for the standard historical romance, which helped to keep things interesting.

    Love to get away to one of those novels that is full of romance. Good story, especially since I'm from the south.

    Fizzles out

    The story starts out well, but the ending is disappointing. Several loose ends are not tied up, and the last chapter or two seem rushed. Just an okay read.
