    The Groom was Dying

    Patrina was the eldest of three daughters, all concerned for their future. Papa was broke, the servants hadn’t been paid in months, and their only hope was to marry well. That didn’t seem a promising hope either, as there were no dowries and none of the three daughters were great beauties. Neil Tidmore was a wealthy Marquess with a large parcel of land being farmed by his tenants. Sadly, his father died of some terrible disease that drove him mad, and Neil seemed to be following in his father’s footsteps. Neil mother made arrangements for her son to meet the daughters of impoverished gentry, and it was decided that he would marry the eldest. This was an excellent, well developed story with interesting characters, although I guessed the end early on the story. I liked it anyway, and that’s all I require to give it five stars.

    Very good

    I enjoyed this well written book, it was such a great pleasure to read a book that has no edits. The plot is good, keeping me reading far longer than I should before going to bed. The characters are well drawn and come to life for the reader. This is a book one would want to own and reread from time to time in the future.

    Very Enjoyable, Suspenseful Story

    The reader can figure out who was trying to kill the Marquess, but the journey to find out how he would be saved and how the perpetrators would be punished was definitely worth reading. The characters were interesting, and the story was well-written.

    Someone was crazy but it wasn’t the marquess . . . .

    Neil was ill throughout the majority of the story which left Patrina to work on trying to find her place within the household. Her mother-in-law wanted to continue to rule the roost which caused friction. Neil’s distant cousin, Harry, his faithful friend and steward, was looked down on by the rest of the family. Romance bloomed between Lucy and Harry which added sweetness to this novel. It quickly became obvious what was happening to Neil and who was behind it. A happily ever after was had by most of the characters while the villains received their punishment.

    Good read!

    Neal Tidemore was used to the rumors calling him the Mad Marquess . In truth he thought he was going mad with his fits, nausea, headaches and dizziness. He didn’t know what was happening to him and neither did his doctor. He only knew his father died of the same fate. I pretty much guessed what was going on sofor me there were no surprises. I did enjoy the story and characters were very engaging. Definitely worth reading.

    Clean neat story

    A lovely clean story filled with drama, intriguing events and more. The plot line is a bit over used in this genre which makes it a bit more predictable and a bit less interesting. The author does a nice job with the character development and moves the reader along at an even pace.
