Product Description
From Amazon
James begins to search for a blackmailer, and Elizabeth is high on his list of suspects. While purposely spending time with her to explore her guilt or innocence, however, he's irresistibly drawn to her beauty and kindness as well as her practicality and sharp tongue. And when he learns that she's practising to entice a husband, he can't resist offering to tutor her in courtship. Before long, the two realise their growing feelings for each other. But the course of true love never did run smoothly, and the lovers encounter a few obstacles along the way. Will the evil Squire Nevins easily give up his designs on Elizabeth and her sisters? What about the nefarious blackmailer? And how will Elizabeth react if she discovers that James is not who he pretends to be?
How To Marry A Marquis is a delightful read with witty dialogue that sparkles, wonderful secondary characters--including the difficult Aunt Agatha and an impossibly arrogant cat named Malcolm--sensuous love scenes and a hero and heroine that readers will fall in love with. --Lois Faye Dyer
Review
Four plus six plus eight plus seven plus one plus one plus one, mark down eight, carry the two...Elizabeth Hotchkiss added up the column of numbers for the fourth time, came up with the same answer she'd come up with three times before, and groaned. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars
Likes it alot!,
By Kelly (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How To Marry A Marquis (Mass Market Paperback)
I really enjoyed reading this book. Elizabeth is by far my favourite character in the story. She is a smart, witty young woman who isnt shy to say to James what she thinks, but yet at the same time she is a complete innocent when it comes to men. In this book we learn more about James then the first book, To Catch An Heiress. We learn about his childhood, his wonderful relationship with his aunt and basically how vulnerable he is at times, even though he tries not to show it.Not only is it a wonderful love story but it's also very very funny! I laughed at the dialogues between James and Elizabeth and also James' aunt.

There are better Quinn novels!,
By Black Barbie (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How To Marry A Marquis (Mass Market Paperback)
Elizabeth Hotchkiss is a young, pretty blonde companion for the elderly Lady Agatha Danbury. The Hotchkiss family is suffering immensely due so what option does the lady of the house have? Marry a nobleman! But Elizabeth Hotchkiss is confused as to how to do it so she sees the book 'How to marry a marquis'. However, James Sidwell, the Marquis of Riverdale, is residing at the Danbury residence posing as an estate manager to help Lady Danbury with a certain something that has been eating away at her. However, a friendship grows between the companion and the disguised marquis and he offers to help her find a husband - from the point onwards,the story unravels. Thoughts: James Sidwell is a striking character. Worked in the War office, unbelieveably handsome, fights for his woman - which lady of the Regency could refuse him? However, I just can't feel the passion between him and Elizabeth. His mysterious attitude and intriguing confidence does not flow with her tiresome determination and irritating charm.I got the vibe of incompatibility from both characters. Furthermore, there were not enough moments between the two for a true sense of emotion to develop. In other Quinn novels such as 'Dancing at Midnight', the protagonists let their love grow whereas here it feels as if everything was rushed. I wouldn't say this was a must-read -- it felt unfinished but don't let that put you off Julia Quinn. She is a great author - get 'Dancing at Midnight' instead!

Great book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: How To Marry A Marquis (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved this one. The characters were great, the story was great, and I loved all of the tension and sparring. I loved that there was no nefarious subplot about murder or intrigue. It was a simple, straight-forward love story with a matchmaking twist.As with all J.Q. books, the love scenes were dull and NOT exciting at all. This is the reason I only gave it 4 stars. But that really didn't take away from the story too much. Overall, definitely one of my favorite J.Q. books.
