4 of 5 stars
Nathaniel, Duke of
Rothhaven, rarely leaves his home and discourages any and all interactions with
the locals. That is, until Lady Althea Wentworth sends her prize hogs into his
orchard. When he storms to her home demanding she remove them, he's not prepared
for the attraction he feels for the lady. Any relationship cannot be--he won't
entertain it. Althea has decided to forego the London Season this year and
yearns to know her reclusive neighbor, but she's not prepared for the
complicated feelings she has for the arrogant duke. Can these two get past any
hostilities and find their own HEA?
This was an interesting and
entertaining book especially since it takes place away from the glittering
ballrooms of London. Althea is tired of trying to be accepted by the ton in
London. No matter what she does, there are whisperings behind her back and
gossip about her not belonging. She's done trying to fit in and decides to stay
put in the country. I loved Althea and her bold personality. She plunges
forward into helping the poor, but just like in London, she's not accepted.
Nathaniel tries his best not to interact with Althea, but with each new
encounter, he finds himself smitten with her. Nathaniel is such a good and
noble character, sacrificing his own happiness for his family. This book has
intrigue, mystery, heartache and finally a HEA for these two and I loved every
minute of their journey.
I voluntarily read this
advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
