About this ebook

A fiercely loyal lady, along with her brooding duke come head-to-head in a battle of wills! An unforgettable Regency romance from New York Times Bestselling Author Joanne Wadsworth.


He must steal a lady…then steal her love.


Desiring a man and never being noticed as more than his best friend’s little sister has Lady Ellie Trentbury finally consigning herself to the truth. She must move on, and preferably with a man who lives far away from her home in London where she need never be reminded of the duke who stole her heart. An elopement with an honorable American shipping merchant sounds perfect.


The Duke of Ashten has no choice but to bound into his best friend’s carriage when he discovers little Ellie is inside and intent on eloping with a man to Gretna Green who she barely knows. He can’t allow her to make such a terrible mistake, yet convincing her might mean giving into his desire for the golden-eyed enchantress who has followed him around since he was a lad.


Her pouty lips and bountiful charms can no longer be ignored, only convincing her of the truth of his intentions will mean jeopardizing both his sanity and a lifelong friendship as well.

Having started reading Regency romances by Georgette Heyer and others at the age of 12 in 1962, I am adept at deciding if a novel is worth reading or just a bunch of paper. Believe me- if you are tired of the garbage that they call "historical romance novel" these days- relax and grab a comfortable seat because once you start this book - you won't want to stop til you get finished. Thoroughly satisfying story with a happy ending. Although not as full and rich as the :Mallory" family saga by Johanna Lindsey, it has solid filled-out characters that you care about, a good background- with enough detail to put you into the time and place, and enough action to keep you hanging in for " just one more page". This book is not a waste of time- it is really enjoyable and held me until the last page.

I couldn't bring myself to finish this book no matter how good the plot may have been. Clearly the authour has not reseached Georgian/Regency England thoroughly. The book is crammed with errors (from the substitution of footmen with 'wait staff' and the menus which would not have been on offer at gentlemwn's clubs and apallimg grammer therin is no substitute for the beautiful speech and cant of the era

Character and plot development are lacking in a big way. The storyline has major gaps, leaving the reader to make guesses about many details, and the book trudges through what could have been a sweet story. The characters are insipid and annoying. Ellie, the unfortunate main character, is annoyingly stubborn, behind the guise of "loyalty" and the love interest's competition concedes with nary a fight. This book is incredibly annoying.

About the author

Joanne Wadsworth is a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author who adores getting lost in the world of romance, no matter what era in time that might be. Hot alpha Highlanders hound her, demanding their stories are told and she’s devoted to ensuring they meet their match, whether that be with a feisty lass from the present or far in the past.

 

Living on a tiny island at the bottom of the world, she calls New Zealand home. Big-dreamer, hoarder of chocolate, and addicted to juicy watermelons since the age of five, she chases after her four energetic children and has her own hunky hubby on the side.

 

So come and join in all the fun, because this kiwi girl promises to give you her “Hot-Highlander” oath, to bring you a heart-pounding, sexy adventure from the moment you turn the first page. This is where romance meets fantasy and adventure…
