To Catch a Lady. (Hunt Club #1) by Pamela Labud. Historical Romance ARC Review.



If you love Mary Balogh and Eloisa James, don’t miss Pamela Labud’s sensuous Hunt Club series! To Catch a Lady introduces four lordly, rakish sportsmen whose bachelor paradise is threatened by a matchmaking aunt—and by the sting of unexpected love.

Ashton Blakely, the Duke of Summerton, cannot stop his aunt from meddling in his affairs. So rather than let her select a most disagreeable mate, Ashton decides to fire the first volley by holding a ball as a scheme to bag the ideal wife: a deferential girl eager to produce and raise an heir, leaving Ashton to his beloved hunting lodge and titled friends. But when Ashton falls for the one woman who isn’t willing to play his game, all his plans scatter like buckshot. Suddenly, the chase is on!

Caroline Hawkins has no interest in marriage. In fact, she has devoted her life to defending women from the indignities visited upon them by their husbands. She only chaperones her beautiful younger sister to Summerton’s ball in the hopes of saving her family from bankruptcy. She certainly doesn’t expect to catch the Duke’s eye . . . nor is she prepared for the heat that rises every time she thinks of his powerful build or his dark, tantalizing gaze. Caroline can run, but she cannot hide—for Ashton has already captured her heart.
 
Ashton Blakley, the Duke of Summerton  has a mad idea.  His aunt who he adores is determined he marry. So to save all the messing about finding a woman and courting her,  he will pick a name from a lottery.
Caroline Hawkins wants her sister to be picked as the Duke's bride. She will make a perfect Duchess, and will save the whole family from being turned out of their home.
This is rollicking good fun. Our hero is absolutely clueless, and extremely stubborn.  Our heroine is just as stubborn, but is trying hard to keep everyone happy. Opposites attract would have been a good title for this as well. These two are like magnets pulled together by a strong force but turn one round and they can't get close. I really enjoyed this book.
