It is not necessary to read every book in the series and it is not necessary to read them in a specific order. The series does have a few characters, like Sir William Blackstone, shared by all of them, but the the books don't have a timeline that must be rigidly followed.
To Hunt an Heiress was actually unique and funny enough that it had me telling my husband, who does not read romantic fiction, some of the mischievous antics of one of the characters in the book. It's makes me grateful that the only pets we have ever entertained in our home were dogs and cats.
Aside from the borrowed pet in the story, the plot was still unique enough and the banter between the main characters was still funny enough, to recommend the book.
To Hunt an Heiress Book Synopsis
To Hunt an HeiressCheck PriceSebastian Drake needs money quick in order to get custody of his half-brothers and sister. They are currently living with their uncle who has a hot temper, especially when he has been drinking, which is most often. Sebastian could not originally get the custody because he was not 21. Now that he is old enough, he must find a way to show the courts that he is financially capable of providing for his siblings. Unfortunately, his own father's wealth was "assumed" and spent by his step-father. Plus, the family estate has been left to him in deep debt.
With the help of two friends, he sets out to meet, court and marry an heiress quickly. However, when he asks one heiress to marry him after courting her for a week, that heiress' uncle is quick to share with the all of society that Sebastian is an heiress hunter. That shared knowledge makes Sebastian's plight much harder.
Upon hearing the gossip about the heiress hunter in their midst, Selina Lawrence sets out to teach the fortune hunter a lesson and employs some very interesting tactics. Since she is a wealthy widow, society does not frown on her for not walking the proper line like they would a vulnerable debutante.
The challenges between Sebastian and Selina make for a very entertaining game for readers to observe.
