Benedict Thorpe never planned on staying away
for 7 years after a duel with his cousin, but when he receives a dire letter
from his friend that the estate was in trouble, he comes back to England to
claim his title and estate once again. Unfortunately, it's not that simple
because his cousin Louis has enjoyed the perks of being the marquess without
actually holding the title. Now an investigation is needed to see who is
actually entitled to the estate and Dorothea Rowland is part of it. Dorothea
has loved Ben for years and tries to shield her heart from anymore heartache,
but sometimes, the heart does what the heart wants. Can these two find their
way back to each other or will a sinister mystery kill Ben before she can
declare her love?
I enjoyed this book, but I found the some parts dragged a bit. There was a good mystery running through the book and that kept me turning the pages. I liked Ben. He was someone who had learned from his mistakes and showed remarkable restraint while the investigation into who actually was the marquess continued. There is a lot of sex in this book--too much and I skipped over those pages. I get their attraction without every detail of their sex life revealed. All in all, this was good read.
I voluntarily read the advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
