Their family had come from humble beginnings, and while they are extremely wealthy now, there is a lot of responsibility on her shoulders to maintain their place in society. She is known for her spotless reputation, and genteel nature. The only respectable woman that he knows is Dom’s sister, Celeste. I thought originally the book might focus on Dom, but the bachelor in question here is Kieran (clearly I didn’t remember what the book blurb had outlined!). This results in a huge scandal and sets in motion the ultimatum from their parents to marry respectably. The book begins with one of the three, Dom Kilburn, escaping his own wedding, since he felt he wasn’t good enough for his fiancée – he is aided in this escape by his groomsmen Kieran and Finn Ransome. The basic plot is that three male friends, (who are, of course, hedonistic bachelors who have no real desire to settle down) must find suitable respectable women to marry or there will be no more funds from the parents to maintain their usual lifestyles. I really enjoyed Eva Leigh’s earlier books in this genre, but this one was rather predictable. I’d forgotten how formulaic a lot of these books are now, especially by authors that churn out several in a short time. I haven’t read much historical romance lately, and after reading this one I may not again for awhile.
