destinugrainy's review against another edition
2.0
Alec mewarisi banyak hutang dan estate yang bobrok dari ayahnya, Lord Iversley. Untuk memulihkannya, dia harus mencari wanit yang memiliki warisan kekayaan. Wanita yang tepat untuknya adalah Katherine, yang memiliki warisan seratus ribu pound, dengan satu persyaratan yaitu menikah.
Katherine sendiri berharap sahabatnya, Sydney, mau menikahinya agar warisannya dapat segera dicairkan. Utang keluarganya adalah salah satu alasannya. Tapi Sydney selalu menunda pertunangan mereka dengan alasan kesehatan ibunya. Meski Katherine tahu sebenarnya ibu Sydney tidak pernah menyukai dirinya.
Alec pun memulai pengejarannya pada Katherine. Dia meyakinkan Katherine untuk bersamanya dengan alasan membuat Sydney cemburu. Sydney memang cemburu, tapi tetap tidak menikahinya. Alec memanfaatkan kesempatan itu untuk memikat Katherine. Keahlian mencium dan dan bercinta dari Alec yang belum pernah dirasakan Katherine sebelumnya membuatnya jatuh cinta pada Alec. Apalagi setelah bercinta, dia memang harus menikahi Alec.
Tetapi Katherine tidak bisa menyembunyikan kecurigaannya ketika Alec ingin cepat2 menikahinya. Setelah menemukan kenyataan bahwa Alec adalah pemburu harta, Katherine memutuskan rencana pernikahan mereka dan kembali pada Sydney. Alec yang mulai menyadari bahwa dia tidak bisa hidup tanpa Katherine akhirnya mengejar Katherine, membuka rahasia tentang dirinya pada wanita yang dicintainya.
Jalan ceritanya di awal agak membosankan, penuh dengan intrik soal harta dan kekayaan. Apalagi Katherine rada2 plin-plan :)

We don't love the fortune hunter trope, and this book pushes it to 11. It's saved by the sweet & sexy relationship between Alec & Katherine and the amazing series setup.
41-Word Summaries:
Meg: Alec wants to marry Katherine for her money - but not just for her money, seriously! Katherine also wants to marry someone for her money (it’s complicated) - but not someone who wants to marry her for her money. Are you confused yet?
Laine: Two hot people who are really into each other and have what the other needs refuse to have an honest discussion and thus everything is drawn out. Very cool concepts about the Prince's unacknowledged Bastards banding together to improve their lots.

3.5. A little sexist, a little cliche, but well-written and emotionally satisfying.
