Political intrigue could leave his heart the last one standing...alone.

Lively St. Lemeston, Book 1

Nick Dymond enjoyed the rough-and-tumble military life until a bullet to the leg sent him home to his emotionally distant, politically obsessed family. For months, he's lived alone with his depression, blockaded in his lodgings.

But with his younger brother desperate to win the local election, Nick has a new set of marching orders: dust off the legendary family charm and maneuver the beautiful Phoebe Sparks into a politically advantageous marriage.

One marriage was enough for Phoebe. Under her town's by-laws, though, she owns a vote that only a husband can cast. Much as she would love to simply ignore the unappetizing matrimonial candidate pushed at her by the handsome earl's son, she can't. Her teenage sister is pregnant, and Phoebe's last-ditch defense against her sister's ruin is her voteâ??and her hand.

Nick and Phoebe soon realize the only match their hearts will accept is the one society will not allow. But as election intrigue turns dark, they'll have to cast the cruelest vote of all: loyalty...or love.

Warning: Contains elections, confections, and a number of erections.… (altro)

The thing with Rose Lerner's books is there will be lines like this: "The rest of the dress lay crumpled on the table. It didn't lie entirely flat. The bodice in particular was still stretched, hinting very gently that it had last night contained the most splendid bosom in Sussex," and then my day is ruined because these are such lovely observations. Sigh.

I loved this book, but there are some CWs that folks should have prior to reading! The book deals with miscarriage, discussion of depression & PTSD, period appropriate ableism, and parental neglect/emotional abuse, death of spouse. For all the joy I found within the pages of this book, I wouldn't say it is a light read. ( )

Super points for an unusual Regency setting, a really unusual Regency plot, a disabled* main dude, a (unapologetic) fat main lady, a disabled* side lady, and nary a duke in sight. I'm rating up to 4 instead of down to 3 for that stuff even though I didn't actually "really like" it. I'm not really a fan of the writing style, unfortunately. I will try another of this author's books for sure, hopefully one that will click a little better for me.

*The disabled folks are regular folks who happen to have disabilities and not just Inspirational Angels or Embittered Jerks. I think that Lerner writes about them in a way that is respectful, but I'm not an expert. ( )

I liked this I just guess I am grading it against this author's [b:In for a Penny|36453426|In for a Penny|Rose Lerner|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1508616699l/36453426._SY75_.jpg|7385934] and it's going to be hard to beat that one. This one had a plump heroine who was a widow who needed to choose someone to marry for a vote which only makes sense in this English historical setting.

Enjoyed the characterization. For example she was plump and felt no need to change it. And the hero was all into her bounty. I liked them both. ( )

Happy sighs, going to hug my kobo while I fall asleep now... ( )

This story had an interesting premise. A widow is courted by both the Tories and the Whigs - not for her vote but so she could marry a man who would then become a freeman and allowed to vote. While the story had the usual romantic plot - it was the whole idea of the lengths people would go to to win an election.
I really enjoyed reading this. the heroine, Phoebe was smart and sassy and willing to do whatever she needed not to take care of herself but to take care of her sister.
I look forward to reading more books in this series. ( )
