[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question: why couldn’t Anthony and Kate get together from the beginning? If he liked her, why didn’t he pursue her? It wasn’t until later that her sister was appointed as the jewel of the season - forgetting the official title. [/quote]
he wants a tame woman that he can control[/quote]

Yes, plus, Kate is "on the shelf". In the book you know the mother isn't her real mother, but stepmother, which means she is not of noble birth and therefore less (if at all) acceptable. Edwina's mother is from a noble family, which makes her more acceptable to begin with.[/quote]

I asked the question…I think this makes more sense. He was bored by all the other women, so the “taming” seems not quite right.

I think they are both very attractive. [/quote]
If you were paying attention to what he was saying about what he wanted in his wife, you would understand that what he wants is a biddable, tame wife.   Tame doesn't mean completely boring and dumb.  He wants an intelligent woman to be the mother of his children, but also doesn't want someone he finds annoying to talk to.

This is a trope in these kinds of books (I read a lot of Regency romance novels). The men always say they want a cordial, emotionless marriage where she can produce the heir and spare -- a ton marriage.

People in the ton usually marry within the ton, and if he really cared about family stock, he would not marry a woman whose mother eloped with a nobody.

Remember, he does not trust "love" or emotions now after his last experience. So, he's looking for someone who is agreeable, will represent the viscount family well.

He doesn't want a woman who is not biddable or who challenges him, a bit like the opera singer.[/quote]
