And his penniless bride now hoped her love would provide Rob with a fortune far greater than the one he sought....

Almost a fairy-tale
By Woodbuckley
This regency set historical romance was almost a fairy tale - the reader definitely needed to suspend disbelief to enjoy it. For it was indeed a most enjoyable confection, a light-as-air pastry to be enjoyed.
Robert, Lord Selborne has been forced to return to England by the death of his parents and inheritance of the title. His lawyer has interesting news for him - to be sure he is to inherit a good deal of money necessary for the running of the estate from both his father and grandmother. However... there are some very nasty strings attached to each and the said strings are pulling against each other. His father's will impels him to marry a 'lady' who attends his cousin's forthcoming marriage within a month or lose his unentailed inheritance to his cousin. If that is not enough, his grandmother's will grimly requires him to remain celibate for 100 days to teach him a moral lesson! Robert is not amused.
Fate, though, rescues him from a fate worse than death with a nasty cousin in the person of Miss Jemima Jewell, an unexpected 'guest' at the wedding. Very unexpected - as she is the daughter of a master sweep who attends as a part of one of the 'traditional' superstitions attached to the wedding. She is also a 'lady', due to the fact of her education as one at the hands of Mrs. Montagu's school. The by-product of this has also been her own alienation from her origins, especially her father who is wanting to marry her off to his own advantage.
The pair are instantly attracted. Robert eventually persuades her to make a marriage 'in name only' and she agrees to find her own independance. Then fate tweaks the tale again and the marriage becomes real. They travel to his country estate - they both begin to know each other and discover their roles.
This is a most charming tale, despite all the blind eyes one must turn to the improbabilites of trick wills, noblemen marrying sweep's daughters and daft lawyers.
Robert and Jemimna are believable and very sympathetic characters. Jemima is especially wary of him and his station, her gradual acceptance of the reality of his sincerity is well done. Poor Robert's double bind is stretched out to create a good deal of sexual tension between the pair.
Jemima's brother is also swept into the tale involving a murder, highway robbery and yet another unlikely romance.
All highly charged - very entertaining, but definitely requiring a grave suspension of reality.

From a paper marriage...to wedded bliss?
By Anza Carrillo
Lord Robert Selborne, if he intended to inherit his beloved home Delavel, had to marry one of the women present at his cousin's wedding according to his father's will. The number of candidates were slim - exactly two, to be precise - until Rob meets the charming chimney sweep's daughter after the wedding. Since the sweep's daughter, Jemima, interested him, he chose to ask her to marry him. Of course, he would let her know that it would be a marriage in name only, but wouldn't exactly tell her why - his grandmother's will had stated that if he wanted to inherit the 40,000 pounds she left him, he would have to be celibate for 100 days. But when circumstances happen that keep bringing Rob and Jemima together, can Rob manage to keep his hands off Jemima that long?
Jemima Jewell had grown up on the rough streets and knew better than to believe in anything like love. Love was a tale for children, and it only brought hurt in the end. But when her abusive father was about ready to force Jemima into an unhappy marriage, Jemima took the lifeline Rob had thrown to her and decided to marry him, instead. Rob assured her that their sham marriage would be annulled, and that he would buy her a house in London while he lived in the country. It seemed like the perfect arrangement to Jemima, until circumstances forced her to join Rob in the country. Could she keep her heart from falling in love with this man?
This book was pretty good. I liked both Rob and Jemima. Rob seemed like a pretty easy-going guy, and although he tried to fight it, he couldn't deny his growing attraction for his wife. Jemima was intelligent and fairly independent, and had no desire to fall in love with anyone. I could identify with that. Rob and Jem seemed like real people, unlike a lot of romance book characters. The secondary romance of Jemima's brother Jack and Rob's cousin Letty was an interesting one, too. I would read their story if they had their own book :)
The story was unrealistic, especially towards the end when the truth came out about Jemima's humble beginnings. I just don't see people accepting a sweep's daughter into society. Still, a very good book and I enjoyed reading it.

Highly recommended!
By Mary @ *Buried Under Romance*
A very lighthearted, sweet read.
4.5 stars/5 stars
When I came across this book by chance while browsing, the plot immediately intrigued me. While I've read many books where the heroine is of a lower social status than the lord hero, this is the first I've come across where the heroine is actually a chimney sweep's daughter!
The story begins comically when the hero, Robert Selborne, comes back from war and finds out that in order to receive his inheritance from his deceased father and grandmother, he must 1) marry a lady who was present at his cousin's wedding (which is the next day), and 2) be celibate for 100 days. This obviously puts him out of sorts, but he decides to go through with finding a lady to marry, in order to restore his principal home, Delaval, to order. Unfortunately, due to the passing of his father and grandmother, his cousin's wedding has been reduced to having only a few ladies of marriageable age, and none that appeals to him. This is when he spies the heroine, Jemina Jewell, who is a chimney sweep's daughter but has received a lady's education. They quickly strike a marriage of convenience, and against statuses, fall in love with each other.
While many critics of this novel mention the credence of such a fairy tale story, I am not so cynical as to not enjoy a good story when I see it. The primary cast is wonderful; the hero is nice beyond belief and sincerely wishes to find love in his marriage. He, of course, falls head over heels in love with Jemina, who, due to her status in life, has a rather cynical view on the notion of love in marriage. It was refreshing to find for once a heroine who holds the cynical view on love rather than the hero, as it happens far too often in regency romances. Eventually, Jemina does learn to place trust in her husband, and learns to love him just as much. Another aspect of this novel I really liked is the fact that both parties are honest with each other in what they want. Robert and Jemina both knows that he wants her, and neither can or tries to deny their attraction, but knows that they must stay celibate to receive Robert's inheritance. The scenes in which Robert tries to battle his lust for his wife is highly amusing.
Further embellishing the story is a wonderful cast of secondary characters, who throughout my reading has invoked a great deal of giddiness and joy. Even the mean Cousin Augusta is more for comic effect than pure malice.
Issues:
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because there were a few unresolved points. First, Robert had nightmares of when he was still fighting in the Peninsula, but that just somehow disappeared once he got married? I find that hard to believe such nightmares could disappear overnight. Second, Jack's whole masquerade as a highway man was simply resolved far too quickly, with barely a single mention. Did the authorities catch the real highwayman? It was vaguely mentioned and I can't remember it at all.
Final thoughts on the novel: There are no cliched plots in this novel,and everything resolves itself into a splendid happily-ever-after worthy of Disney recognition. Yes, the plot is hard to believe, and yes, you may find the characters too nice or sweet, or just simply too wonderful that you want them to exist in real time. But the bottom line is that this is a lighthearted, joyous read of two people learning to love each other, and I highly recommend it for anyone who loves a good fairy tale.
