An Inconvenient Beauty
by Kristi Ann Hunter
Bethany House Publishers, 2017, Religious Fiction, 379 p.
His grace, Griffith, Duke of Riverton, has decided it is his duty to wed, so he carefully and logically picks his future wife from the wall-flowers at the seasonal balls in London.  Much to his surprise, the plain aristocratic girl he chooses to court keeps trying to avoid him.  He ends up being left in the company of her stunningly beautiful cousin over and over and starts to form an attachment to her instead.  Little does he know that she is hiding secrets, and it will not be a smooth road to matrimony with her either.

This is actually the fourth in a series of the Christian "Hawthorne House" historical romances.  Each one is about a different family member of the house of Riverton and don't need to be read in order.  It was a fun read, and has all the trappings that I enjoy in a fluffy, clean, historical romance.  Hunter looks into her main character's religious feelings, which is a nice change from some regency novels I have read. This is a great choice for adults or older teens who like Jane Austin or Georgette Heyer.
