Summary

After a shocking attack, Rowena Kinnaird is desperate to escape her family and her ex-fiancé. She finds an unexpected protector in the Duke of Nottingham, but will she ever be able to trust him - let alone fall in love - when his custody of the Fire Eyes jewels endangers her once more?

A riveting Edwardian series set among Britain's high society, Lady Rowena Kinnaird may be the heiress to a Highland earldom, but she has never felt good enough - not for her father, not for the man she thought she'd marry, not for God. But after a shocking attack, she's willing to be forever an outcast if it means escaping Loch Morar.

Brice Myerston, the Duke of Nottingham, has found himself in possession of a rare treasure his enemies are prepared to kill for. While Brice has never been one to shy away from manor-born ladies, the last thing he needs is the distraction of Lady Rowena, who finds herself in a desperate situation. But when Rowena's father tries to trap Brice into marrying his daughter, Brice makes a surprising decision.

Rowena wanted to escape the Highlands, but she's reluctant to marry a notorious flirt. And when she learns that Brice is mixed up in questionable business with a stolen treasure, she fears she's about to end up directly in the path of everything she was trying to avoid.

Good

It took me a while to get into this book to be honest, but it was a good one. It was nice to see some of the characters from the previous book make an appearance, and to carry on part of the plot from that book. I really liked Brice's character. He was so nice to Rowena, even when she kept turning him away. I loved Brice's deep faith and the way he kept praying for Rowena. There were some tough subjects in this book but was dealt with sensitively. The Audible version was good. This was my last read of 2023. Looking forward to the next book in the series in the New Year.

Amazingly, even BETTER!

BRAVO! MAGNIFICENT, Even Better than the first of the trilogy. Stand-alone but the depth of knowing the first, as goid as it was, made this one all the more enriched and left me eager to start the third! :) Wonderful!

The Reluctant Duchess

A Well written novel. I enjoyed the stoeyline. The Characters are interesting. There is I some domestic abuse, and implied cruelly but it's not explicit. And there is love and happiness at the end. Preferred one of this Author previous books. Because the lead female was stronger.
