4 of 5 starsBenedict is a hard working man bringing jobs and opportunities to his village. He's poised to win a lucrative American contract for his steam engine design when the deal is thrown in jeopardy when he's forced to marry Lady Amelia. Amelia has been betrothed to the duke since childhood, but when she's stranded in a snowstorm and nearly freezes to death, it's Benedict who rescues her. When they're found together, the duke refuses to marry her. Now wed to a commoner, Amelia is furious that everything she worked for her whole life could change in an instant. Can Amelia learn to love her honorable and hard-working husband or is she destined to live the rest of her life in misery?
This was the first book I've read by Ms. Parish and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I liked how Amelia learned to value other things in life besides setting the perfect table or presiding over inane teas. She was a resourceful and determined young woman, but I really loved Benedict. He was so honorable and tried to do the right thing for everyone, but he was thwarted at every turn. It takes a near tragedy for both Amelia and Benedict to realize the true value of love and companionship and get their HEA. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.
I voluntarily read the advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
