About the book:
Life for Lady Adelaide Bell was easier if she hid in her older sister’s shadow—which worked until her sister got married. Even with the pressure of her socially ambitious mother, the last thing she expected was a marriage of convenience to save her previously spotless reputation.
Lord Trent Hawthorne couldn’t be happier that he is not the duke in the family. He’s free to manage his small estate and take his time discovering the life he wants to lead, which includes grand plans of wooing and falling in love with the woman of his choice. When he finds himself honor bound to marry a woman he doesn’t know, his dream of a marriage like his parents’ seems lost forever.
Already starting their marriage on shaky ground, can Adelaide and Trent’s relationship survive the pressures of London society?
My review:
This is a delightful historical romance novel!
I fell in love with both Trent and Adelaide. They are incredibly well developed characters. They both had terrible lapses in their education about how men and women were to develop a relationship with each other. That left them fumbling along trying to figure things out. It made them very easy to connect with. I loved how Trent’s family was willing and able to support them throughout the story.
I really loved the way that the bible was turned to to help Trent understand how to love his wife. It should be the place we all turn to for wisdom and guidance when we are confused and have questions. So many times though we think that we can come up with our own answers.
I’m giving this marvelous book a rating of 5 stars. I highly recommend it. I do believe that it will be enjoyed more if the series is read in order since the main characters from the three previous stories play a very important role in this one.
