ABOUT THE BOOK
Miss Edwina Fine has one shot at finding a husband before the ton learns her secret. With red hair, green eyes and being one of triplets, she knows the superstitions and rumors about women like her. So when a marriage proposal from the Duke of Stonerick arrives by mail, Edwina jumps at the chance to solve her problems. But nothing could prepare her for the attraction that sparks between them when they finally meet. It will take more than Edwina’s wit to navigate her past, reservations about marriage and the passion that ignites within her for the irresistible duke.
Rick, Duke of Stonerick, enjoys his life exactly as it is: honing his expert marksmanship, playing cards and fencing with his friends. He even enjoys exchanging affectionate humor with his mother about his lack of matrimonial engagement. But when a recurring illness reminds Rick he has no heir, he picks a name from the list of prospects his mother presents and writes a simple marriage proposal. Then he forgets about it—until that very lady with an iron will and breathtaking bravery shows up at his doorstep, ready to accept. Edwina tempts him like no other and suddenly, marriage doesn’t seem much of an inconvenience after all. But will keeping his illness a secret cost him her love?
MY REVIEW
I am always on the lookout for unique and original ideas when it comes to historical romance novels. That’s why I was immediately intrigued when I came across a book featuring green-eyed, red-haired triplets and a mysterious fever. This book is about Roderick Cosworth, the Duke of Stonerick, who has done something under duress that has changed his life forever. His impulsive choice to select his new bride from a list of young women he’s never met is priceless and adds an extra layer of excitement to the story.
What I love about Roderick is his sexy confidence and blunt talk. It’s so refreshing to see an MMC who isn’t afraid to speak his mind and go after what he wants. His slow wooing of his new bride is also quite charming, and I found myself rooting for him throughout the book. But what really won me over was his unerring protection of Edwina’s family. Despite all the challenges he faces including his strange illness, he never wavers in his commitment to keeping her loved ones safe.
Miss Edwina Fine is a force to be reckoned with. She’s smart, strong-willed, and fiercely loyal to her family. I admired her vow to honor her father’s request, even though it meant sacrificing her own happiness. Her love for her sisters is faultless, and my heart broke over their isolation due to superstitions. But what I loved most about Edwina was how she put the Duke in his place. Their banter is both seductive and funny, and it’s clear they challenge each other at every turn.
I found myself laughing at the scenes where Roderick is introduced to living with his loud and stubborn sister-in-laws. It’s clear that the Fine sisters are all outspoken, not just Edwina. It was satisfying watching Roderick and Edwina learn to trust each and admit their flaws as they grew closer.
I recommend this book to anyone who loves historical romance novels. The characters are well-developed and the plot is engaging.
Thank you to Ms. Grey for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.
