3.5. Pretty predictable right from the beginning, but still a fun read. It's fun to see what it was like back in those days. I'm happy things ended up working out well for Cora in the end, and while I didn't like Bertha for most of the book, she redeemed herself in the end.
Good book, kept me in the mindset of something like the world of Downton Abbey. Really felt like it was a sort of prequel. Enjoyed.
This book makes me so very glad I am not outrageously wealthy.
This had elements of some of my favorite things—romances with surly Englishmen, some mystery, lots of great period detail—but it didn’t do any of it particularly well or with a satisfying conclusion.
4.5 It was a little long but the story itself was engaging. I wish the ending was flushed out a little more but maybe there is a follow up out there I'm not aware of. This is exactly what I was hoping 'To Marry an English Lord' was going to be. Excellent attention to details. This brings you straight into the guided age.
Slice of life, low stakes, soapy drama in the English countryside (and London).
This book was the perfect cure to my Downton Abbey withdrawal.
I liked it but I wouldn't say I loved it.
Cora Cash (wealthiest heiress in America) goes to England with her mother to "buy a title." She ends up marrying a Duke and finds that English society is much different than she expects. And her husband has secrets! Gasp!
Overall it was an interesting story but I found the characters a bit ridiculous sometimes and the book was slower than I preferred. However, the ridiculous was kind of funny and probably intentional (Look how weird the super rich behave!)

boring. predictable. characters not particularly likeable except for one - Bertha, main character's maid who presents an interesting perspective on race on occasion.
