The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting

The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting by KJ Charles, 286 pages

Robin Loxleigh and his sister Marianne are new to the London marriage market, and they're on the hunt for some wealthy spouses. While they're perfectly lovely to everyone, nobody knows that they're poor grifters aiming at wealthy, and gullible marks. But when Robin sets his sights on John "Hart" Hartlebury's naive niece, her uncle's protective nature takes over and Hart begins investigating. What Hart doesn't count on, however, is for Robin to back down right away...or to become his lover.

Romances set in the London season are always fun, what with all of the polite society politics and scandals, and this is no exception. Adding to the intrigue is the potential ruin both Robin and Hart face if their affair is discovered. I had a few misgivings with how their affair began, but I think their chemistry and the stories of those surrounding them are strong and compelling.
