My Sisters Intended by E.L Montague

Summary by Goodreads:
The most sought after bachelor in all of Scotland, the life of any given party, that's what they named James Mountbatten. He was the toast of high society and the man every mother yearned to see on their doorstep, asking to see their fine daughter. He knew there was something more to life than petty women who couldn't see past his fine physique, and he intended to find it; that is, until his father decided he had spent enough time unmarried and forged an alliance with the rich lords and ladies of Bexley by promising him in marriage to the eldest daughter who would certainly match James in good looks and fine tastes. As far as James was concerned, Lady Sophie of Bexley could take a long walk off a short pier, but his father's word was law, and so to England he must go to meet his future bride. Can he go through with a marriage when his heart yearns for another?



My Thoughts:
For a historical romance this was really modern, it lacked research the tone holds for the most part of the beginning of the book and start to fall apart into modern day speech. The story line was interesting it had some very good ideas along with the day to day cliche of: I slept with my sister boyfriend, of course the title its self insinuates it. It could use an editors expertise ( although that may just be my reviewers copy). Overall I think it has potential it looks like an adult book but can easily pass off as a young adult which I like it makes kids feel more grown up.
