THIS ABOVE ALL by Dana LeCheminant

 

Book Summary:

Emma Mackenzie wants nothing more than an independent life, and she’s well on her way to securing it. But one thing stands in her Nicholas Forester, the man with whom she’s in competition for her grandfather’s land and money. If Nick can find a wife, that is. Her plan is she will prevent him from forming any attachments and claiming the inheritance that is rightfully hers.

Nick will settle for nothing less than the deepest love—but there’s a catch. He must marry before the year is out if he is to inherit a great fortune. When he meets a lively young woman during his visit to the country, their attraction is immediate. Almost as immediate as his regret when he realizes that the woman is none other than Emma, the one person who could ruin his financial future.As a web of secrets begins to unravel and romantic subterfuge ensues, Nick and Emma find themselves unlikely allies. When Emma learns that she, too, is required to wed before she can claim the inheritance, she sees only one scenario in which everyone gets what they want. But with everything she’s done to get in Nick’s way, the task before her may prove impossible. She must convince him to marry her.

My Review:

This Above All is one roller coaster ride of a story! I was hooked from the start and couldn’t seem to get enough of this world that LeCheminant created! From the talkative Miss Barton, to the steady and calm Mr. Makensie, the quiet and kind Elias, to Nick and Emma themselves, I loved each and every character. The meet cute was awesome and then when they figured out who the other person actually was, I just couldn’t! The competition between Nick and Emma was on and I was all in! I loved the fierceness and fire from Emma and the unfailing preserverance from Nick. This isn’t your typical regency romance and I definitely recommend it! I received a complimentary copy of this book; all thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Happy Reading!!!
