Publisher Description

New York Times best-selling author Jo Beverley has been hailed as "arguably today's most skillful writer of intelligent historical romance" by Publishers Weekly. An Arranged Marriage won the National Readers Choice Award and the Romantic Times Award for Best Regency novel. When her vile brother's wicked scheming ruins her reputation, Eleanor Chivenham is forced into a marriage of convenience. Yet there is much more to her new husband than meets the eye, and soon her heart is filled with unexpected desires.

"I am a big fan of regency romance but after listening to this book for a couple of chapters, I was angry, I couldn't understand why lie about sleeping with Eleanor when clearly she was a virgin. I thought how sick could you be to " blackmail" your brother into marriage to a woman you'd already slept with. However, she really did come out way ahead and in the end, she was married to the brother best suited for her. I do wish her brother could have been the recipient of a good thrashing. He got off way too easy for all of the the wrongs committed. I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in regency romance.t"

    " 4.5, rounding up for the fun factor. Loved the voice and Eleanor, but the hero was a bit too stupid/ignorant about how much he could tell Eleanor at times for me to care. The rape at the beginning (not done by the hero, but still graphic and dealt with throughout the book) and the infidelity throughout make it a difficult read from a genre-conventions standpoint, yet Beverly mostly pulled it off for me. Definitely an author I will be reading more from (I already borrowed book two from my library...oopsie). "

    " 2.5. Kind of boring in some parts. I liked the character of Eleanor, but Nicholas got on my nerves a lot. I probably won't continue with the series, even though this was my first Jo Beverley book. "

    " Finally got the first book of the series, which was nice, though I already knew a lot of the twists from the rest of the series. Still, I love Beverly's characters and all their angst, and chew through her novels like candy. "

    " I am not sure what I think of this book there were so many loose ends. I have no idea what happened to her brother and many others. I have a feeling this will lead into other things, but at this point I don't care. "

    " So the co. of rogues begins. What a great way to ensure a 15 bk deal. It's a shame this book wasn't more enjoyable. Personally, I'm not a fan of a "rape the heroine, but Blane your twin brother" plot, but it almost works here. Almost. "
