This romance begins sweetly until interfering relatives attempt to drive the couple apart. A central point of tension is the Earl’s behavior; he inexplicably ignores the blatant disdain and disrespect his father’s family shows him.
The character development is solid. The Countess, who initiates the drama, softens as she falls for the Earl. Despite her background in the impoverished nobility, the two find plenty of common ground. Facing a 14-day deadline to marry or lose his inheritance, the Earl finds his solution not in his own actions, but in the Countess's initiative. She is the one who proposes, and he has the sense to accept. It is a refreshing take on the trope where the heroine sees a good thing and seizes it.
