The Wedding Clause by Debbie Raleigh. Lady Woodhart's will Has Molly her companion in a dither. She gets half of 30,000 pounds if she weds her employers grandson Viscount "Hart" Woodhart and the entire 30,000 if he doesn't show up to marry her. He gets the same deal in reverse but he really doesn't need the money, but he believes that she is a gold digger.
The battle of wills between hero and heroine sees sparks flying on a regular basis. The plot twists are novel and the characters delightful. Terrific story.
Good story;good characters. Molly,former companion to Hartford’s relative, sees a chance to help her destitute brother when her employer’s will is read. She and Hart will share equally in the 30,000 pounds estate if they marry on Christmas Day. If either fails to show up, the other gets the entire fortune. Hart tries several ways to get Molly to give up, but she is determined. He then realizes something else. Somewhere along the way, he has fallen in love with Molly. Can he convince her to marry him?
This one was a fun surprise. While a couple of things were over the top and I wish she had left out some swearing & light innuendo, I enjoyed the dry humor and competition of wits in this book.
I don't understand the mediocre rating of 3.58! This book is fun, funny and fabulous. I enjoyed it very much! I wish every book I picked up was as good as this one. The Hero and Heroine were both stubborn and chose only to see what they wanted to see about the other. Just loved it......ended so romantically! yay
