The American Heiress/Daisy Goodwin/465 pages

Cora Cash's mother is determined for her daughter to marry royalty. The Cash fortune, with that horribly tacky new money, is a perfect fit for bankrupt baron or duke or even a prince (if you're willing to settle for something other than an English title.) Cora does what she's told (most of the time) and is lucky enough to find love and a title. But does he love her or her money?

This is the first historical romance I've read in a very long time. It was like a deliciously decadent dessert. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but one will suffice for quite some time. The descriptions of the extravagances of the time period still boggle the mind. I can only imagine what it would be like to spend money as freely and frivolously as the American Heiress does.
