The Heiress Effect by Courtney Milan
4.0
"It was a shockingly fierce, possessive thought. It came anyway. Mine."
Jane lives a life in numbers. 100,000 is the pounds in her dowry that can bring men far and wide to bid for her hand in marriage and 480 is the number of days before her younger sister Emily is of age. Jane must do anything and everything to make sure she remains unwed for the next 480 days to ensure Emily's safety. As a result, Jane unleashes on Cambridge society with ill manners, outrageously awful dresses and leaves no doubt that she is a woman that does not know her place. Only problem comes in an Oliver sized package. The one who truly sees her.
This was the last romance in a long list of romances. I am the worn with reading romances so I was thrilled to find I enjoyed this story immensely. Many historical romance authors touch on the lack of rights for women in the 1800s but I felt like this was the first one that was really defiant with her characters from a lot of different realistic circumstances. Fast, quirky and wicked smart with a lot of heart.
