This was a wonderful story and I had a smile on my face for most of this book.
Oliver blames himself for his mother's death and what she did. (I don't consider this a spoiler as the reader finds this out in the prologue- Oliver's mother shot and killed their father and then herself). She had caught him doing something (we find out later- towards the end what that was). As a result, he seeks out pleasure to hide his pain.
The Sharpe's grandmother wants her 5 grandchildren married and settled. Oliver the eldest was 35 (I think?), Jarret- 32, Minerva- 28, Gabe- 26, and Celia- 24. She gives them 1 year to find a spouse. If they are all not married when the year is out, they lose their inheritance from her. Oliver believes she is bluffing and plans to call her out on it. When Maria stumbles into a brothel looking for her fiance, he sees his chance. In exchange for her being his fake fiance, he will help look for Nathan (the fiance). Maria's father sent Nathan to England to work on a deal and he has disappeared and is not answering her letters, nor does he know her father is deceased.
Fake relationships can be fun to read about and this one was. The whole family is wonderful, unique, and I didn't dislike a single one. They are all supportive of each other and love each other. I look forward to their stories. Jarret is next.
2 months down, 10 months to find a partner.
