While most of it was quite engaging, there were times when it just seemed a bit forced. Overall I did find it enjoyable and the two main characters were mostly entertaining, though I didn't really have a solid engagement with them or with what they looked like.

Leopold Dautry, Duke of Villiers is determined to find a wife who can cope with his string of by-blows. When he first meets Eleanor, the Duke of Montague's daughter, he proposes to her, and then finds that he's also attracted to the eccentric Lisette, daughter of the Duke of Gilner, who seems to also be perfect for his purposes. Can he find a woman who can cope with his children and satisfy him?

It's pretty predictable but it's interesting, nothing too deep but it kept me reading.
