4 of 5 stars
Bex Brentwood has
foolishly speculated on numerous business ventures that have failed and he
finds himself with no income, no home and a bleak future. All of that doesn't
stop him from trying to better his situation. When he meets Lucy Betancourt,
he's intrigued with the practical vicar's daughter. Lucy has no dowry and no
prospects of getting married so she plans her future as a governess to relieve
the burden on her aging parents. Fate, however, has other plans for these two
and a sweet love story emerges.
I was so excited to
ready Lucy's story. She was introduced in the previous novel and she's such a
unique character--kind, loving, but, oh so practical. Her childhood friend,
Emma, the Duchess of Worley, asks her to join her in London where Lucy meets
the duke's cousin, Bex. I was happy to see that Bex wasn't trying to get out of
his financial situation by wooing a wealthy widow. His character was good and
honorable and I loved watching Lucy and Bex's unfolding story. The dialogue was
witty and believable between these two as they got to know each other. There
are a few twists in the story that kept me turning the pages. I thoroughly
enjoyed this story. Fans of Regency romance will be delighted to read this
story.
I received a copy
of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
