Her sister is already in love with someone else, and Horatia is willing to sacrifice herself for her family's happiness. Everyone knows she's no beauty, but she'll do her best to keep out of the Earl's way and make him a good wife. And then the Earl's archenemy, Sir Robert, sets out ruin her reputation...

The Earl of Rule has found just the wife he wants. Unbeknownst to Horatia, the Earl is enchanted by her. There's simply no way he's going to let her get into trouble. Overcoming some misguided help from Horatia's harebrained brother and a hired highwayma, the Earl routs his old enemy, and wins over his young wife, gifting her with a love that she never thought she could expect.

Review of 'The Convenient Marriage' on 'Goodreads'

The thing about Heyer is, her style is so delightful that even if I'm not really into the characters or the plot, I still enjoy the book. This is definitely not one of my favorite Heyers, but hey, it's still fun.

2.5

Another of Heyer's charming young girl/experienced older man romances, which, obviously, tend to carry an undercurrent of sketchiness.

That said, this is laugh at loud funny, at times. Not her worst.

But if you have to read one of her young girl/older man romances, read The Corinthian instead of this.
