A Proposal of Marriage by Cheryl Bolen

Rebecca Peabody is basically looking for a marriage of convenience so she can continue to write political essays under a pen name.  She proposes an arrangement to John Compton, Earl of Aynsley.  John is a reform politician and 23 years older than Rebecca.  That is the part of this book that I couldn't get around.  I thought the age gap was too huge.  I also wish the book had a little more steam to it.  

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC provided by NetGalley and the publisher.  Thank you.
