Kindle freebie romance time! This is a charming, light Regency romance, in the Georgette Heyer style. It’s fairly standard as RR’s go except for one truly major difference: the hero, Ethan Brundy, is a lowborn man who’s risen to great wealth. He doesn’t fit in at all in high society, with his common speech and ill-fitting clothes. He's pleasant-looking, but not really handsome.
But when Ethan sets eyes on Lady Helen, the elegant and sharp-tongued daughter of a duke, he falls instantly in love and determines to marry her. She, on the other hand, is absolutely appalled by the idea, but her father the duke has managed to gamble away his entire fortune, and Ethan’s offer looks to the duke like a Godsend.
Recommended (especially if it’s still a freebie) if you like this sort of read.
Content notes: clean. Some use of the Lord's name.

Still free - just got it. Thanks Tadiana! This might be my first read of the new year!
Wow, that cover is baaaaad. The Kindle cover is so much better, it makes me wonder what happened (in a watch-the-tragic-accident kind of way).
Hope you enjoy it, Marlene and Ange. Jacob, you just prompted me to switch my review to the Kindle version so that cover will show up on my review instead of this bad one. :D (Plus the Kindle version is the one I read anyway, so win-win.)
I really like this one. Ethan is sweet and Helen is not. The two companion novels aren't as good but I do recommend her John Pickett mysteries.
I'm pretty sure I added this recently since it was free.
I actually almost didn't read your review due to the cover, Tadiana, because I figured it wasn't a story in one of my preferred genres. But I wasn't sure, so I started skimming and quickly decided to read your review. :-)
Well, Tadiana. I seldom disagree with you so strongly, but I found this book simply awful. Free is too expensive, though I admit, I'm glad I didn't waste money as well as time on it...
Just finished it, Tadiana and I have to thank you for bringing it to my attention. I loved it - notwithstanding that I agree with the spoiler in your comment above.
