Publisher Description
The Favourite Heiress…
Once engaged to the future Duke of Strathmore, the beautiful Lady Clarice Langham now finds herself in the humiliating position of celebrating his marriage – to another woman. But things begin to look up when handsome and charming rake David Radley makes it clear that, at least as far as he’s concerned, she’s still the catch of the season.
The Illegitimate Son…
The eldest son of the Duke of Strathmore, David Radley has been raised alongside his father’s legitimate children. But while he is generally received as part of the family, not everyone thinks he should be, and especially not Clarice’s father, the Earl of Langham, who forbids her from having anything to do with him.
David’s been in love with Clarice for years, and it isn’t long before the attraction between them develops into something deeper. Yet he senses Clarice is hiding something and until she reveals her secret, she won’t be free to follow her heart. Despite everything, David will not give up on Clarice, not even when another seems set to claim her.
Sasha Cottman writes Regency romance with strong heroines and courageous heroes.
This is a full standalone book in the Duke of Strathmore series.
Customer Reviews
It’s fine if you like historical romances.
I liked the story, but I didn’t always care for the exaggerated snobbish accent. The narrator used. It was easy enough to ignore that though. I also know it’s a common (way too common) storyline that heiresses get trapped into marriage by being in compromised situations. It just seems like kind of a lazy theme. It’s so easy to make someone a villain like that. And come on, really? If all some guy has to do is make up a lie to trap the rich heiress into marriage, then why don’t the ladies friends just agree to lie and say “no she she was here with us the whole time?” And tell everyone that the villain is lying and that he is no gentleman. If all it takes is the word of one person to destroy a person‘s reputation then why don’t they ever fight back? It’s such an easy way to destroy a person‘s life and no one ever seems to fight it. I wasn’t there, but I doubt that it happened like that.
Anyways, though, she’s not the author to do it really everything in the story has been done quite a bit already. There was nothing new or surprising in anyway, but it was something to listen to, and I’m giving five stars because there was nothing that I really didn’t like taking off.
