The Duke and the Enchantress by Paullett Golden

Drake Mowbrah, the Duke of Annick, was told by his mother that he needed a wife and heir.  He woos Charlotte Trenthow.  After the wedding in the carriage on the way to his home, he finds himself in a marriage with a woman he really doesn't know.  Drake thought Charlotte was attracted to him, but what he found in the carriage was a cold woman.  

When they arrive at his home, Charlotte meets her new mother-in-law who refused to hand over control of the household and a housekeeper that thinks she is protecting the Dowager Duchess.

Eventually, Drake and Charlotte realize most of their problems are due to miscommunication.

It took me a while to write this review because the only character I remotely liked was Drake.  Charlotte was immature and self-centered.  Drake's mother was the mother-in-law from hell.  Drake and his love for music was the only thing that even remotely salvaged the book.  I kept wanting to reach in and slap both Drake and Charlotte for not communicating.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC provided by NetGalley.  Thank you.
