Maqluba's Reviews > The Fortune Hunter

Funny, entertaining, and a nice twist on a cliche. We've got a the biggest rake in London who's finally sick of his poverty and wants to marry rich so he can fix his family home. We've also got an independent (with a capital I) spinster who's very content with her life. They meet, he accidentally tells her his plans, she refuses to marry him but wants to be his friend to have a little adventure in her life, and he decides this is the perfect opportunity to seduce her into marriage. She's onto his ways and holds her ground, and he's so sure that he can get her to marry him.

This is one of those times where the heroine isn't a weak woman who gives in.. she's truly genuine about not getting married so she's smart to know when to not cross the line. The hero wants to win her willingly so he puts on all his moves to get her, but little does he know that the heroine sees his true self and that's who she falls for. Neither are looking for a dalliance, she wants fun and adventure, he wants her money and her hand in marriage. Its a wild ride but I had fun being on it!
