A terrific little novella that introduces the series Marrying the Duke. I didn't know about this story until after I read the main books, but it made no difference to my enjoyment of it. This is the story of the parents of the heroine in the first book, The Match of the Century. Jenny is the youngest daughter of the family and the most beautiful of the three. Her father is determined that Jenny will marry well enough to rescue him from his gambling debts. Jenny isn't thrilled with any of her suitors but is willing to do as she must - until she meets the bold and handsome Fyclan Morris.

Fyclan is an Irishman with a gift for making money. He is an officer with the East India Company and has been charged with recruiting various noblemen as investors. He is distracted from his goal when he catches sight of Jenny. He immediately recognizes her as "The One" his gypsy grandmother predicted for him. Even the knowledge that her father hates him doesn't deter Fyclan from his pursuit of Jenny.

I loved Fyclan's complete belief in his grandmother's prediction. His initial meeting with Jenny was very cleverly handled. I especially loved the fact that while he appreciated her beauty, it was her intelligence that he was drawn to. Jenny was stunned to encounter a gentleman who wasn't put off by her height or her bookishness and was thrilled to find someone who saw past the surface to who she was. Because of her father's attitude, their relationship was not an easy one. The method that Fyclan devised to enable him and Jenny to get to know each other was clever and very effective. But with time running out, he had to act fast. Jenny's father lived down to my expectations with his reaction to Fyclan's proposal. I loved seeing Jenny overcome her fears and believe in their love enough to go after what she wanted. I thoroughly enjoyed the epilogue and seeing how happy she and Fyclan are, and that the best revenge is being happy. ( )

REVIEW:  A LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE BY CATHY MAXWELL
 
A Little Thing Called Love by Cathy MaxwellMy rating: 5 of 5 starsWhen I was younger Cathy Maxwell was one of the authors I could never get enough of. My bookshelves were full of her books and I never got tired of reading them. As I got older and life became more fast pace and complicated I lost track of many authors that I followed including Cathy Maxwell. I could not believe it when I stumbled across A Little Thing Called Love on Edelweiss. I knew I had to read it. The enchanting characters, the beautifully written words and the feeling of being transported back in time proved euphoric. Jennifer was a dreamer that longed to be loved and instead endured many heartbreaking setbacks. Flycan has sought acceptance and love he wants to believe in the fantasy of happily ever after and a better life. Armed with his grandmother's prophetic words he sets out. This story is for the true romantics and dreamers in all of us. It was great to rediscover why I enjoy reading this author. View all my reviews

I'm not usually into short stories (or maybe this is more of a novella). I just find that shorter stories don't give me enough time or detail to really connect with the story and the character. So I was so pleasantly surprised by this quick little prequel and can't wait to read the rest of the series!!!

Fyclan Morris is a proud Irishman who has made his fortune with the East India Trading Company. With a Romany grandmother who foretold his destiny of love a great and successful legacy for his lineage, Fyclan instantly knows when he has crossed paths with this great love. With his grandmother's words echoing in his ear, he sets off after the beautiful woman despite warnings to the contrary.
"You'll recognize her immediately," his Gran had said. "She'll be fair to your dark, a light to your step, a force you will not deny.
...
"When you meet this woman, hold on to her," she'd said. "You're children's children will be dukes and princes. They will stride the world. But first, you must meet the woman.
Jennifer Tarleton has always been frail and used books to escape the stresses in life. Now that her gambling-addict father has returned home from his military campaigns, Jennifer has more stress than ever and is in desperate search of a book to borrow. Her determined search is what brings her into contact with our hero. Jennifer also experiences that instant spark with Fyclan, and what follows is a love story that you will root for. Because's its so short, I don't want to give anything else away.

This story was all about hope and faith and believing in your destiny. It was an uplifting read, and a wonderful set up for the series which will begin with [b:The Match of the Century|25014001|The Match of the Century (Marrying the Duke, #1)|Cathy Maxwell|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1430720922s/25014001.jpg|44686113] on November 24, 2015. With a prequel this good, I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 5 stars / 2 flames. ( )

Fyclan Morris is an Irishman and proud of it and he's made his money by working hard.
When he see's the beautiful, young Jennifer Tarleton for the first time, he knows she is the one he has been waiting for all his life, the one his grandmother told him was his destiny. But Fyclan finds his pursuit of Jenny not as easy as he first thought, her father wants her to marry a rich titled man, and he already has someone in mind.

Fyclan was a tenacious man, he didn't let anything get in his way, Jennifer was a lover
of books and he quickly knew the fastest way to her heart. Jennifer had a horrible
family, they were very selfish, she needed to find someone who respected and loved her for who she was. A great story with a loverly epilogue at the end.
I'm looking forward to reading the first full sized book and more about some of the secondary characters from the series. ( )
