Local blacksmith Monsieur Sébastien
le Duc has a new mission--find a buyer for the smithy so his brother and he can
finally return to France, the land of their birth. He enlists the help of
budding journalist Miss Eve Shelling who agrees to put an ad into the
Cressmouth Gazette. Eve finds herself becoming more attractive to Bastien the
more time they spend together, but she reminds herself that a romance between
them is pointless because he'll be leaving soon.
I love this series and The
Duke's Embrace is another feel good story. The leDuc brothers are well defined
and their goals are simple--make enough money to finance their return trip
home. Ms. Ridley has written another well crafted story that makes the reader
route for both Bastien and Eve to find a compromise to their budding romance.
As with the other stories in this series, a happily ever after is finally
achieved after a few bumps along the way. I'm looking forward to reading
Lucien's story.
I voluntarily read the
advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
