It's not a Season...

... it's a scam!

Proper young ladies make their fortune by marrying it. Not Cleo - she's going to make her fortune by stealing it!

She'll take part in the London social whirl, dances and visits to the opera and delicate flirtations, and pose as a young lady on the Marriage Mart. But that's all an act. Her real plan is much more complex. And not exactly legal.

He's not just a Duke - he's a scientist!

Arthur knows it's time to settle down. So he scientifically sets about finding a suitable wife and duchess. Some sweet biddable young thing to bear his children and manage his estate, and leave him alone with his telescope.

That's what he's looking for. Instead he finds Cleo.

If you like your romance sweet, lighthearted and funny, with unconventional characters you'll long remember, you'll love A Feather To Fly With.

Get it now!

4.5 (Muito bom)

"So this is what love feels like."

Gostei bastante da leitura. Achei a história bem interessante, só achei o final um pouco corrido. Talvez o livro poderia ter tido mais capítulos ou não ter se estendido em assuntos não tão importantes. Outra coisa a se levar em consideração é o ponto de vista: não temos apenas um ou dois nessa história, temos vários, de vários personagens diferentes. Tive uma boa experiência com esse tipo de narração, mas, às vezes, precisava pesquisar quem era o personagem ou voltar um pouco a leitura para saber quem ele era, porque não há sinalização de troca de pov. No mais, a história e os personagens são cativantes.

I really enjoyed reading it. I found the story quite interesting, but the ending felt a bit rushed. Perhaps, the book could've had more chapters or not dwelt on less important topics. Another thing to consider is the point of view: there isn't just only one, nor two in this story, but we have a lot of point of views, from a lot of characters. I had a good experience with it, but sometimes I had to go back in the story to remember who was talking at the moment, because there's no indication of a pov switch. Otherwise, the story and the characters are captivating.

"In an environment where an unsaid thought was a waste of brain activity, gossip found fertile ground."
