I want to marry this Marquis - By: Becca Lusher, 09 May 2007 
Julia Quinn does is again with yet another thoroughly enjoyable tale, packed with delightful characters & cracking wit.
I fellin love with James Sidwell, Marquis of Riverdale, when he showed upin 'To Catch An Heiress', so to have him starin his own novel was never going to be anything less than wonderful. Lizzie is an endearingly clumsy heroine who will do anything for her family, & James is just suave, sophisticated & utterly charming - as always.
But what truly makes this tale is Lady Danbury, the dragon of the 'ton', who also happens to have a heart of (grumpy) gold. It's also nice to see the return of Caroline & Blake, being less than helpful - again, as always. But amusing. JQ never fails to make her stories that.
Before the 'Bridgertons' there was this, & I reckon it's every bit as good.
gentle, engaging delight from Quinn - By: Deborah MacGillivray, 03 Mar 2003 Quinn proves times & again, she delivers a very superior read.
Elizabeth Hotchkiss is beautiful, smart & loves her family, though she has more family that a young woman should have. Since her parent's death, she has been raising her brothers & sisters. She works for a very dotty (or is she) old lady of the nobility. She happens upon a book entitled How To Marry a Marquis, & seizes upon the chance to aid her rusty skills because she knows she must marry to save her brothers & sisters.
Her employer has sent for her nephew - James Sidwell, Marquis of Riverdale, come to the aid of his dotty old lady aunt. Masquerading as her new estate manager he is trying to track down a blackmailer.
When he discovered her plans to attract a rich husband, he sets about to teach her how to catch a marquis - not realising he is the one stepping into the trap - they both have.
The characters are warm loving, & its witty. You will enjoy it from start to finish
Wonderful Feel Good Story - By: mcjedgar@hotmail.com, 25 Mar 2002 This is one of those books you just cannot put down. It makes you laugh with them & the story is really wonderful. A true love story! I am now going to read "To Catch an Heiress" which I should really have read first.
Well worth reading & its a keeper.
Excellent an author to compete with Johanna Lindsey - By: , 21 Mar 2000 A book I purchasedin the states whilst overthere on holiday.I read it the same day I purchased it & immediately went back for some of her other books. A writer to rival Johanna Lindsay & Julia Quinn for her stories & characters. If you like a lady who can stand up for herself, then read this book.
Refreshing, humorous and light-hearted romance - By: , 26 Aug 1999 For those readers who have grown tired of the heavy-handed, overly-dramatic romances, this is the book for you. I don't want to read another book where the unyielding, yet sympathetic, hero finds himself bleeding on the battlefield only to realize that he loves the beautiful heroine. Will he live long enough to express his true feelings? Of course! How to Marry a Marquis is the antithesis to the heavy-handed romance. Julia Quinn has crafted a charming story about a beautiful (of course), uncoordinated, soft-hearted girl who fallsin love with a man who is not what he pretends to be. I laughed out loud while reading the book! I am looking forward to reading Quinn's next endeavor.
