A Courtship to Remember A Historical Regency Romance Book edition by Bridget Barton Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

• Elizabeth has never wanted to marry. She only wants to be left alone to pursue her music. When her father tells her she must accompany her sister to London for the season and find a husband she is devastated. If she doesn't agree, he will find one for her because she must marry on order for her younger sister to marry.
  Anthony, the Baron of Bedford, proposed to Diana, the woman he has loved and devotedly courted for six years. When she rejects him and humiliates him by telling their friends how she laughed in his face and cruelly broke his heart, he decides to hide in his room and drink his humiliation away. After nearly two weeks, his best friend drags him out and forces him into London for the season.
  When Elizabeth and Anthony meet at a ball, after speaking privately, Anthony devises a plan where they all get what they want. If they enter into a fake courtship, Elizabeth's father will allow her sister to marry first. Due to her extreme jealousy, Diana will return to Anthony and marry him. After her return, Anthony will reject Elizabeth and her father will not force her to marry.
  As they say, the best laid plans...etc. When they begin spending time together they find they really enjoy each other's company. By the time Diana returns will their heart still want the same thing as when they started? I liked this story because it shows that the things you think you want may not be what you need for your happiness.
• This is a delightful story about Elizabeth Ramsbury, an independent, intelligent, and talented young woman who desires for herself a career as a musician instead of the usual path of marriage. Her younger sister, Cecilia, is more typical and wanted to become engaged to her love, Percy. Their father requires them to have a Season in London to see what that opportunity will bring them.
  
  Lord Anthony Cavendish, Baron of Bedford, wanted to marry his true love Diana Lambert, daughter of the Viscount of Somersby, but she laughs at him and embarrasses him in a painful rejection of his proposal. Anthony is devastated, so Felton Nicholson, his best friend, convinces him to go to London to take his mind off of his bad experience. He of course meets Elizabeth at the ball and they agree to a plan that could be beneficial to each. He will pretend to court her to make Diana jealous. In return for her cooperation, he will help Elizabeth with her music goals. It sounds like a well thought out plan – until things don’t happen quite as expected.
  
  I really loved this story line and the characters were wonderful. Do they find their happy ending? Do each reach the goal that makes them truly happy? Grab your copy and enjoy!
• I was almost dreading reading this one, as I didn’t even finish Ms Barton’s last book. Usually I enjoy her stories, but I got so impatient over the silliness of the heroine in “A Charming Lady...” that I gave up with a shrug. This one, however, is back to her usual style Elizabeth is intelligent, charming and natural; Anthony , though a bit of a schmuck in wanting his selfish and hateful old love back, is sweet tempered and kindly. Their decision to enter into a false courtship in order to incite the woman who jilted Anthony to jealousy and to get Elizabeth’s father off her back regarding marriage wasn’t as implausibly written as that scenario often appears in other books. Of course, the couple doesn’t see for a while what the reader can see instantly...the perfect match in the making!
  
  Only two criticisms. One is that Elizabeth was seen as beneath Anthony in station since her father held no title, but in actuality the title of Baron was not so high that anyone would see his marriage to the daughter of landed gentry as unusual. Landed gentry were NOT considered commoners. The second fault was that the extended epilogue was not really necessary and added little to the story. In fact, I found the new relationship between Elizabeth’s parents, who had disliked each other for 20 years, to be the only improbable slice of the book pie. All in all, a nice and enjoyable story about two nice and enjoyable young people finding happiness with each other.
• A Courtship to Remember is a good title but I found this book so tedious and repetitious I barely was able to plow through it. It was as if the author had a list of every Regency cliché, spread them liberally, and moved on to modern ones. The grammar errors were not many and probably not glaring except to the members of the Grammar Police. Since I'm a card-carrying member of the force, they stood out to me. This book has little to recommend it, unless one needs something to read in case of insomnia.
• Elizabeth loved music and playing on the 🎹 pianoforte!
  She doesn't believe that marriage would make her happy
  because she feels men would never support her love of
  🎶music.
  
  Then she meets Anthony and everything changed. They
  strike up a plan and follow through with it. What plan is
  it and does it work?
  
  This is absolutely the most amazing, excellent book! The
  characters are incredible and so complex. I positively loved
  The way Anthony treated Elizabeth and her sister's boyfriend
  treated her. They weren't 😨afraid to show how important
  these sisters were to them!
  
  They helped them with everything, others looked down on
  Then but they didn't care. These women were treated like
  a precious 💎gem. They loved them dearly!
  
  Oh don't forget to get the Extended Epilogue, it is as awesome
  as the book! I highly recommend that you get this book!
  
  I absolutely hate that we have to get out of the book in order to
  get the Extended Epilogues! It is ridiculous, I pray the people
  Who do this changes their way of doing this! Put the Extended
  Epilogues at the very end of the books 📚. That way when we
  Re-read or listen to it again we get the Extended Epilogue with it!
