The story line is interesting and complex. I am quite certain some other authors would have padded it out to a series of five books. Roslyn engaged to Jonathan, still loves Miles, Lord Beaumont, but unknown to her something happened in Miles's past to prevent his courtship of her in the present. Daddy whole heartedly approves of Jonathan. Roslyn decides to invite four old school friends so that Miles might wed one of them. Needless to say three end up engaged but not to Miles. Roslyn is one of those people who mean well, in fact all the characters are interesting ones including Harriet who likes to study people. For cat lovers there are a number of cats including Three whom I think is the most interesting of them. Possibly a four and a half stars.From the back of the Zebra paperback edition...

A Bride for Lord Beaumont
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Roslyn Andrews is engaged. Jonathan may not be the love of her life, but she cares for him, and he will take care of her father's financial difficulties. Miles, Lord Beaumont, is the man she has loved since childhood, but somehow, their relationship has never led to marriage. Miles loves Roslyn, but an ugly secret prevents expression of his feelings. There are many madcap scenes in this novel, and humor is used refreshingly often. Though sometimes the focus of the story becomes scattered among too many characters, the charm of the writing makes for an entertaining night's read.
