4 of 5 stars
I really enjoy Ms. Grey's
stories and this one is another enjoyable read. Adeline, Dowager Countess of
Wake, finally free from her controlling and cruel husband, has vowed to never
marry again and let another man control her. Her resolve starts to crumble when
she meets her handsome and imposing neighbor, Lyon Marksworth, the Earl of
Lyonwood. From their first meeting, sparks fly, but Adeline is determined to
ignore and spend all her time and energy on her school for girls whose fathers'
or brothers' died in a sea tragedy. Can Adeline control her desire for her sexy
neighbor?
I loved Adeline. She was an
unusual heroine--feisty, bold and passionate--not the usual sweet young miss
just out on the marriage mart. I also adored Lyon. He was the perfect gentleman--kind,
considerate although his ordered life is soon upset by the widow next door
along with the young girls of the school. Their interactions are explosive from
the moment they meet and it will take a compromise from each of them to finally
have their happily ever after. The book is a quick read although I did figure
out the twist in the story early on. While I loved the twist, the reader needs
to suspense belief a bit and just enjoy it. Fans of regency romances will enjoy
this story.
I voluntarily read this
story and the opinions are my own.
