It basically takes place concurrently with the first book of the series, with the same family gathering for the Roxborough Ride coming into play. In this one, we have Gillian, cousin to Pandora from the previous book, who is a widow. She loved her husband dearly and hasn't been with any man since his death.

She finds herself named heiress to a large fortune, but it comes with the condition that she must marry before her thirtieth birthday. In order to claim it, she enlists the help of her two best guy friends to make a list of potential husbands. The only one who appeals and seems suitable is Richard, Earl of Shelbrooke. His father frittered away all their money at the gaming tables, so ever since the man died, Richard has been struggling to get by.

His family estate is in disrepair and he has four younger sisters to clothe, feed, and come up with dowries for. Gillian wants a marriage in name only, planning to split the inheritance with her groom to be, but when Gillian proposes to Richard, he surprises her by saying that he'll only go along with it if she agrees to share his bed. From there much back and forth ensues as she tries to figure out whether she can comply with his terms. Also unbeknownst to her, he's living a double life as a reclusive French artist to pay the bills and fears what she might think if she discovers the truth.

I would say that for the most part I liked Richard, although he did a couple of things that kind of irritated me. I admired him for wanting more from Gillian than a marriage in name only. Even though he was pretty desperate for money, I felt like that showed from the start that he was genuinely interested in her and not just the inheritance. I also like that he was willing to seduce Gillian to convince her it would work between them. However, using his French artist alter ego in an attempt to accomplish that seemed like a poorly thought out plan right from the beginning.

It simply didn't make much sense from a logical standpoint and my assessment was born out in spades as the ruse continued. The other thing that I greatly admired about Richard is that he could have taken the easy road by selling his sisters out, when his father died. After all, he already had a reputation close to matching his father's and his father had already arranged a betrothal of the oldest sister to a man old enough to be her grandfather.

Instead though, Richard was willing to do whatever it took, including manual labor, to take care of his sisters and keep the manor house from falling down around their ears, as well as to see them married to suitable matches.

However, on the downside, I didn't really care much for Richard's high-handed, chauvinistic manner toward female artists. In this way, he did follow in his father's footsteps by refusing to even entertain the notion of his oldest sister becoming a serious artist, simply because she was a woman. Now granted that may have been how things were back then and he could simply be said to be a product of the times, but as someone who also wouldn't have been taken seriously if his true identity was known, I felt like he should have had more empathy.

So, overall, I'd say that Richard definitely had his good points, but he also had a few not so good points too. IMHO, Gillian's characterization was somewhat underdeveloped.

We know that she's a widow who loved her husband and hasn't really been interested in any other men since is death. We also know that her two best friends are male, but they're only friends, childhood acquaintances of both Gillian and her husband. She's a lover of the arts, who enjoys throwing salon parties to promote art and artists. The one thing I really liked about Gillian is that she prefers deep conversation to inane chit-chat, and for that reason, she engineers her salons to encourage this type of discussion.

However, it's little more than a mention, and we don't really get to see this side of her in action much. I can't recall any particularly deep discussions she had with anyone, except maybe one with Richard's sister, Emma, about how the work of a certain painter really called out to her when she was in the depths of despair, following the death of her husband.

Other than that, her conversation pretty much seemed the opposite of what she purportedly preferred, just light-hearted banalities. Gillian was also a creature who didn't seem to know her own mind to a near frustrating degree, although I suppose the same could be said of Richard. I did like her innovative idea of helping female artists by giving them a place to practice their craft and helping them make a name for themselves. I also liked that she was smart enough to figure out Richard's secret identity and the way she got back at him was pretty cute, although I felt maybe she took the ruse a bit too far.

In general, Gillian was sweet and likable, but I felt like there were opportunities to build her character a little more fully that weren't realized. One of the main reasons I marked this book down one and a half stars is that I felt the connection between Richard and Gillian was rather shaky most of the time. His masquerade as the French painter muddied the waters quite a bit, because it only served to confuse Gillian when she experienced feelings for both men.

What really bothered me though, is that neither character even knows their own mind. Them constantly questioning their own feelings or how the other person feels or what their actions might mean diluted their connection. It made me feel like their emotions weren't strong enough to know anything for certain until very late in the story. Not to mention, the roundabout reasoning which passes for most of the conflict in the story seemed rather forced and overblown.

It was just flat-out confusing to me most of the time and made my head hurt. The secrets, game playing, uncertainties, and inability to face or admit their feelings for one another drug on a little too long, also dampening that all-important emotional connection.

From a technical standpoint, I found a few additional issues. First of all, Gillian's proposed inheritance of , pounds, plus land in America, plus a fleet of eight ships more or less — ugh! I could have played a drinking game with that phrase.

The money alone would be worth more than 20 million dollars in today's economy, and while it's not outside the realm of possibility for someone to be that wealthy back then, it did seem a bit unbelievable, especially for a male relative to leave that much to a woman, particularly one he barely knew.

The author does give a brief explanation for this, but I felt like it was a rather weak one. Outside of that, the story seemed a little dialogue heavy at times. However, nothing grated more than the plethora of questions these two constantly ask themselves in their introspections regarding their doubts, fears, insecurities, and simply what's going on in the other person's head.

Overall, The Husband List was a readable enough book that wasn't a chore to finish. I mostly liked the characters, and it had some cute and sweet moments.

However, I felt the narrative and the emotional connection were both sufficiently bogged down by all the questioning of feelings, as to take something away from the story, while also making me do a lot of eye-rolling. Therefore, it didn't quite make it over the hump to reach that four-star mark for me. I still plan to continue on with the series though. Richard's sisters were pretty adorable, and two of them, Marianne and Jocelyn, become the heroines of the next two books in the series.

Marianne is a bookish sort and Jocelyn dreams of a Cinderella-style romance, both things that I can relate to, so that appeals. Also Gillian's brother and Richard's best friend, Thomas, who was a fairly likable guy as well, is paired with Marianne in the next book, The Marriage Lesson.

I think these two could make an interesting pairing, so I look forward to giving their book a try. Jan 07, Elaine rated it really liked it Shelves: historical-romance , 4-stars. I liked Gillian a lot, she's a terrific character. Richard was ok too although I really wanted to slap him in some parts of the story. The secondary characters were very likable too. It was fluffy, quick read, nothing exceptional about it, but not bad either.

When I picked up this book I did so because it was the blandest synopsis I had ever read. Alexander before and found them quite fun so I was intrigued by this one to see what she would bring to the trope.

And yes, I am an idiot! Thankfully, this turned out to be a comedy of deliberately mistaken identity which was a zany read which was quite a lot of fun. Alexander continues to write breezy romances in the vein of comedy but she draws character with relatable issues. For example, the heroine deeply loved her first husband and was scared of moving on. The plot the hero hatches is a bit ridiculous but Ms. Alexander knows that, as do we; which leads to some fun moments and eye rolls at the silliness of people in love.

I liked the hero though at points he was a little too conveniently clueless. It came across as irritating in parts but only in small parts so no stars docked for that.

Ignore the historical silliness of two characters giving up a lot of money for love. That part I am conveniently expunging - as it was ridiculous and not believable. It also prevented this book from getting a higher rating as the fundamental premise left something to be desired. Still this is a fun, light read which is better than the blurb suggests.

Mar 26, Caz rated it really liked it Shelves: favourites , romance-regency , kindle , 4-stars , romance This is the first book by this author that I've read. It was a completely random selection, and as a result, I'll definitely be seeking out more of her books. All in all though, it was a good read.

The sex scenes weren't especially graphic, but that didn't diminish their impact, and there was definitely a lot of heat c This is the first book by this author that I've read. The sex scenes weren't especially graphic, but that didn't diminish their impact, and there was definitely a lot of heat coming off the page between Richard and Gillian.

Jan 10, Valerie rated it liked it. Gillian proposes to Lord Slelbrook Richard to meet the requirements of her inheritance. She needs a husband with a title and he needs her money to restore his family's wealth that was squandered away by his father.

In the beginning, it all seems like a simple business arrangement until they both realize their hearts are involved. I liked the premise of this story, and overall enjoyed the book. Another boring historical lacking in depth and steam I really hope Victoria Alexander's other books don't follow the same patterns as this one does Although I kept suspect they will.

How disappointing. A delightful and enjoyable read - would be perfect if last three chapters were rewritten Gillian is an almost year old widow and is a wonderful heroine - intelligent, witty, strong-minded, and compassionate.

Richard is an endearing hero - for five years he's been working hard to pull his family back from the brink of financial disaster that his father brought them to. Great story Thanks so much for the time you put into it. Please when should we expect next chapters.
