Book Review By Tanya
Hardly a Husband by Rebecca Hagan Lee

Sarah awakens one day to find she is thrown out of the only home she has ever known. A local Lord wants to marry her and figures if he tosses her out of the parish home she will have to move in with him. But Sarah convinces her "guardian", the local magistrate, to give her 30 days to find herself a husband--or one will be found for her.

She has no intention of marrying the despicable Lord Dunbridge. She in fact sets out to either catch the man she has always loved or to become a courtesan. She sets out to London with her Aunt and approaches Earl Jarrod Shepherdston, her secret love to tutor her in seduction.

Even though Sarah insists she only wants to be his lover and not his wife, Jarrod, who doesn't want to get married, still can't quite agree to her tempting yet troubling offer. But Jarrod doesn't want anyone else teaching her either. The story follows on their growing relationship through duels, and Jarrod's realization maybe he is cut out for marriage. But, will he figure this out in time?
