3 of 5 stars
I’m a fan of Ms. Miller’s
books and this one was a pleasant read. The first two books in the series were
outstanding and this one was a little bland compared to those. Lord Elliot Haverford, Baron Ralston needs to marry a heiress to save
his crumbling estates. His only choice is to marry this Season and he has set
his sights on Lady Nina Trent whom he has admired for some time. Lady Nina is
being pressured by her strict and cranky grandmother that it is her duty to
marry well and make her brother proud. When Elliot comes up with a plan to help
her catch the eye of the duke, she reluctantly agrees to his plan, but much to
her dismay, she is beginning to think of Elliot and less about the duke. Can
she tame this notorious rake and win his heart?
While there was some witty banter especially
from Elliot, the plot moved along more slowly than I usually enjoy. Of course,
there is a villain in the story and it turns out to be a nice twist, but not
enough to win this book a higher rating than 3 stars.
I’m looking forward to Elliot’s sister’s story
and hoping it’s the next one in the series. I voluntarily read an advanced
reader copy and all opinions are my own.
