The Perfect Gentleman (Valiant Love) (A Regency Romance Book) by Deborah Wilson

I'm loving this series. The names of the men in this family is quite ridiculous, but oh what fun the author has with them. I love that the author has the rake of the family fall in love with a plus size woman. Because he wants his horse back from her father, he spends time with Brindley so other men will look at her. What he finds is a beautiful woman with a sharp mind. Brindley is not at all fooled by his presence and rejects him full bore. She also realizes because of her size, if she does not marry a man who loves her, she would never be happy. She plans her life to live as a spinster. I love this woman and know her unhappiness in never being able to live up to her families expectations. Unconditional love is the only way to happiness.
