Summary
' … what distinguishes Beverley's writing is the depth of compassion and human understanding.'—Kim E. Power

 

The Duchess of Belcraven committed a folly, and bore her husband another man's child. But Lucien was a third son, so all was patched over.

 

Then the two older boys drowned, leaving disaster.

 

Now, over twenty years later, the duke learns he has a legitimate daughter—Beth Armitage, a child of his blood—and he compels Lucien and Beth to marry.

 

Lucien, now the arrogant ducal heir, is devastated to learn he is not his father's child and that the only way to his fortune is through his unwilling bride: an independent schoolteacher raised in the principles of the Rights of Women.

 

Can there be any common ground?

Although it was a little slow moving at times, it's an interesting story, and the Narrator was great. I think any Romance lover will enjoy this one, it's not your run-of-the-mill Romance story.

If you like an all black and white fairy tale love stories....this one is not for you, these characters are definitely in the gray zone...not perfect. The H and H are portrait as real people with flaws, the heroine has a nasty sharp tongue, the hero has anger issues and the story walks on the edge of being a bit uncomfortable with the violence. I wish the heroine made a bigger deal about being threatened with violence and being backslapped and hero paid a bigger penance for doing it. but the story is clever and unpredictable and edgy. Also if you were looking for hot scenes, sorry this isn't it.... barely any and completely non descriptive (bummer...would've made it much better with it) I love the drama in here, very emotional, but then again if you are looking for a feel good, placid love romance... this is not for you.....I enjoy the drama and the scoundrel heros made to pay penance for their mishaps ;) makes life more interesting! narrator is spectacular!!!
