Product Description

When Charles Wycombe, the dashing and incorrigible Earl of Billington, toppled out of a tree and landed at Ellie's feet, neither suspected that such an inauspicious meeting would lead to marriage. But Charles must find a bride before his thirtieth birthday or he'll lose his fortune. And Ellie needs a husband or her father's odious fiancée will choose one for her. And so they agree to wed, even though their match appears to have been made somewhere hotter than heaven ...

Ellie never dreamed she'd marry a stranger, especially one with such a devastating combination of rakish charm and debonair wit. She tries to keep him at arm's length, at least until she discovers the man beneath the handsome surface. But Charles can be quite persuasive -- even tender -- when he puts his mind to it, and Ellie finds herself slipping under his seductive spell. And as one kiss leads to another, this unlikely pair discovers that their marriage is not so inconvenient after all ... and just might lead to love.

Ingram

Charles Wycombe, Earl of Billington, needs a bride before his upcoming 30th birthday or he'll lose his inheritance. Miss Eleanor Lyndon needs a new home to escape from her father's insufferable fiancee. Though the match seems anything but perfect, the rakehell lord and the vicar's vivacious, determined daughter agree to wed--a platonic union of mutual convenience that is soon threatened by calamity, misunderstanding, and the gravest peril of all--passionate love. Ads in "People" and "Romantic Times". --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Julia Quinn has the cure for your blues!, Jun 28 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Brighter Than The Sun (Mass Market Paperback)

Honestly, this book is SUCH a great pick-me-up when you are feeling down and in need of a hearty laugh. Quinn's dialogue simply sparkles, her characters funny, likeable, and all too human. If you haven't read any of her others, please, I implore you, do. You won't ever go back!

4.0 out of 5 stars Probably would rate 5 stars by another author, Feb 20 2004

By	Lindsay Whitfield "lindsaywhitfield" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Brighter Than The Sun (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was pretty good, and if I were reading Ms. Quinn for the first time, I might have given it five stars. But I've read the Bridgerton series, etc., and Brighter Than The Sun didn't quite measure up. It certainly started out well, but if you're going to have a heroine who is so independent and out-of-step with the mores of the regency that she would cut off someone's boot, let them lean on her as they walk, and go to a bachelor's residence alone, then you really shouldn't change her into someone who is constantly bickering because she's uncomfortable with the marriage of convenience she's made. Yes, parts were amusing, and I found Charles (especially his lists) to be endearing, but I got tired of Ellie's little snits and spats. When are authors going to learn that that behavior is for junior high students? Anyway, in reading this review, it sounds pretty negative, but in spite of that, I think you'd enjoy this book or I would not have given it four stars. It's funny, it's good, the love between the two characters is certainly believable, and the hero is pretty delicious. My negativity really only stems from the fact that the author is Quinn, and I expect more from her.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute, Oct 30 2003

By	J. C. White (Erie, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Brighter Than The Sun (Mass Market Paperback)

I was looking for a mindless way to spend a rainy day and I was given this book. I got through it in one day and had trouble putting it down. It certainly isn't a masterpiece, but the two main characters were quite cute and I liked the fact that they were friends throughout the book without your typical huge misunderstanding. All in all it was a nice way to spend the day.
