When a Marquis Chooses a Bride, by Ella Quinn is book 2 in The Worthington's series and it follows the ever spunky Dotty on her way to finding love with Dom. I enjoyed reading the growth of Dom's character throughout the book. I recommend this book and cannot wait to continue the series!

Amazing story! Fast paced plenty of intrigue with twists and turns keeeps ,the reader captivated from the first page to the last word.
Ella Quinn definitely weaves a magical story! I recieved a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

I liked this story a lot. I did not read the previous book but it did not matter. I liked both characters and the relationship development. Both characters were quite relatable. It was a fun read.

I really enjoyed Dotty and Dom's story.

If you read book one in the series, you know how stuffy Dom can be. Dotty is the complete opposite from him. She has a kind and caring heart and will help anyone that needs it. They both find themselves attracted to the other. But there are, of course, issues. Dom must marry someone of standing and tries to ignore his feelings. Dotty has everyone she is staying with telling her about why they dislike Dom. Can these two ignore outside pressures and just follow their hearts?

This is probably my favorite of Quinn's stories and I throughly enjoyed it!

Lady Charlotte Carpenter has been kidnapped. She's not worried, since she and her sister have taken lessons on self protection plus she has a gun in her basket (along with her docile traveling cat). If only she could get the lock picked in time to escape. In the meantime, her abduction has been witnessed and the butler has cornered Constantine, the Marquis of Kenilworth, into going to the rescue as none of the men of the house are in the vicinity. Despite the inconvenience, Con's chiverous upbringing necessitates he help this damsel in distress. Then there's the young groomsman Jemmy, hitching a ride on the back of the coach, ready to assist in the rescue. Miss Betsy, a villain from previous books in The Worthington series, has convinced the innkeepers that the girls she sends their way are runaways needing to be reunited with their loved ones (actually paying customers who desire a particular woman). Constantine is able to rescue Charlotte, but somehow word gets out that they've been alone together and without a chaperone to vouch for their innocence, Con must marry his rescuee in order to save her from ruin. Charlotte, however, doesn't want anything to do with the handsome Con who keeps bad company and has a mistress. Despite their public betrothal, she leads him on a merry chase, even allowing another suitor to publicly court her. Through a convoluted series of events, including a second revenge abduction, the two develop a mutual love and respect for each other and find the same happiness bequeathed on other members of the Worthington family.

While there was a good story somewhere in the Marquis and I by Ella Quinn, there was just too much busyness in a plot that seemed to drag on. The repetitive, mundane dialogue became annoying, despite the delightful characters (mainly the multitude of Charlotte's younger brothers and sisters with their pets). The sexual encounter between the betrothed couple lacked the amorous touch although the experience made them want to move the wedding date forward. Charlotte's insistence that she couldn't marry Con because he had a mistress (even after he broke off that relationship and helped his former paramour restart a new life) and her other pigheaded attitudes made her the least likeable of all the Worthingtons and Constantine, despite his rowdy background, was rather docile through the entire story, especially considering all the crap thrown his way (although the little ones glommed onto him). While I usually read these Regency Romances quickly, this one dragged so much I had to force myself to pick up this book on more than one occasion. A plus was the inclusion of characters from previous books in The Worthington series and even some names from the The Marriage Game. If you've read through the majority of these publications, you'll be familiar with many of the members of The Ton, from the memorable busybody, Lady Belamny, to the sought after dressmaker, Madame Lissette.

Still, shame on you, Ella Quinn. Next time take more care and edit your work into a more readable format and spice up that dialogue (and the sex). Two and a half stars and a thank you to Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Emotional story with great characters. Grabbed me from the beginning and I didn't want to put it down.

Oh yeah, I really really loved this one! But it's a 4 star one because it took me quite long to get into the storyline!
