"The Inconvenient Marriage of Charlotte Beck" by Kathleen Y'Barbo

Charlotte Beck is an incorrigible little gal, yet you can’t help but love her. She’s always getting herself into messes and from the moment she steps out into society Alex Hambly has the unfortunate responsibility of getting her out of trouble. While Alex would much rather bury himself in astronomy, he’s too much of a gentleman to say no to Charlotte’s pleas. Of course, she does make very enticing promises – nothing untoward, mind you. If you must know, you’ll have to read the book. ;-)

This is a great story illustrating that love is not maximum emotion, but rather maximum commitment.

The only complaints I have are: 1) Kathleen wasn’t clear enough throughout the book about the internal issues driving Charlotte’s decision making. Nor did she make clear the issues surrounding her mother in the end. That part of the story was confusing.

Regardless, “The Inconvenient Marriage of Charlotte Beck” is a highly entertaining story written in a unique voice and I enjoyed it.
