The Heiress Effect by Courtney Milan

The Heiress Effect (Brothers Sinister, #2)

by Courtney Milan

Miss Jane Fairfield can't do anything right. When she's in company, she always says the wrong thing--and rather too much of it. No matter how costly they are, her gowns always seem to fall on the unfortunate side of fashion. Even her immense dowry can't save her from being an object of derision.

And that's precisely what she wants. She'll do anything, even risk humiliation, if it means she can stay unmarried and keep her sister safe.

Mr. Oliver Marshall has to do everything right. He's the bastard son of a duke, raised in humble circumstances--and he intends to give voice and power to the common people. If he makes one false step, he'll never get the chance to accomplish anything. He doesn't need to come to the rescue of the wrong woman. He certainly doesn't need to fall in love with her. But there's something about Jane he can't resist...even if it means the ruin of them both.

The Heiress Effect was fantastic! I loved Minnie and her flashy dresses, and the reason why she bought those dresses to start with. She was deliciously outrageous, and she played at being gauche so well, she almost started believing it herself.
Oliver was great in this book, as well, and to see him so confused about his feelings made me save a soft spot in my heart for him.
