A poor widow, Lady Charlotte Collins returns to England eager to take her place in the ton, only to find herself shunned by all. Her one choice is to marry a groom with wealth, a title, and good looks, but Alasdair McGregor cruelly refuses to be the answer to her problems.

In fact, she is forced by Dare's obstinacy to take extreme action: the faulty codpiece that leads to their marriage, the wedding that is literally a circus. But nothing can stand between Charlotte and what she wants most: the love of her husband.

This book can only be recommended if you enjoy a heroine that is an egocentric, shallow and generally stupid. While I have enjoyed many of Katie MacAllisters books, this one just annoyed me. I don't know if I want to waste another credit on the next book in the series.

Almost funny but...

To have a dingy but logical heroine was great. I love her and her character

Would you consider the audio edition of Noble Destiny to be better than the print version?

I love reading and listening to books.... there is nothing like using your imagination. I will say when listening to a book the image changes to match the voice of the narrator

What did you like best about this story?

The balance between humor and drama... I also love the way the hero understands the heroine. Though at a glance Charlotte seems superficial and self-center she has a deep loyalty with those she loves and is somewhat vulnerable, which Alasdair understands.

Which character – as performed by Alison Larkin – was your favorite?

Lady Charlotte

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

A cod piece used as a reticule.. WHY NOT, LOVE IT

Great story but the butlers dry humor and lengthy rants almost made me quit. It was just too much.

Cute but annoying

It had to take work to purposely use the wrong word so frequently but still get one's point across clearly! Bravo! Charlotte's combustion of the English language is excellent comic relief. Again, lovely characters and interesting storyline. Loved it!

Charlotte is adorably flawed

What can I say fun book and definitely laugh out loud! It did get outlandish but still good Characters and the narrator was great.

This book was the equivalent of watching a very superficial spoiled brat grow up - annoying and not charming. I will admit by the very end of the book I liked Charlotte better, but spending 75-80% of the book disliking the main character is not fun. Also the comic device of malapropisms grew tiresome after awhile. Alison Larkin's performance was probably the only thing that kept me going till the end. This was a sad disappointment after Noble Intentions.

Tedious and unlikable main character

Although the story was funny and performed greatly, the small thinking and ignorant stubbornness was tiring. I originally gave overall 3 stars, but with the later character growth I'll give it 4 stars.

heroin too frustrating

We met Charlotte in the prior book and she was a naive but very inquisitive virgin as a secondary character and a good “sidekick”. In this story she is a whinny, entitled, spoiled debutant with hits of being a bridezilla for the first half of the book. She eventually learns, grows and become tolerable. She becomes stronger after an unexpected tragedy and the story gets better with a few surprises. Narrator still too nasally for the characters

Another that it takes patience to finish
