Publisher Description
Miles Weston, the Marquess of Hawksridge, longs for a holiday from his life. He is tired of all the politics in and out of the ballrooms. Ever since his aborted wedding, his aunt has tried to match him with blank-faced debutants at every turn. The only entertaining thing in his overscheduled life is observing the antics of Lady Susanna Ashby, whose beauty and vibrancy brighten the greyest day.
Susanna’s spirit for adventure is matched only by her loyalty to her friends. Determined to help the distractingly handsome, but overwhelmingly serious, marquess, Susanna concocts a plan to distract his matchmaking Aunt Diana. She’ll reunite Diana with her long-lost lover who wrote her passionate letters of love and longing. If only Susanna could discover the whereabouts of the mysterious James Marlow.
As Susanna launches her ill-fated plan, heedless of the danger, her worried friends send Miles to fetch her home. But Susanna has no intention of letting anything derail her quest to find the man from the letters. Not bad weather, broken carriage wheels, or highwaymen. Not even a sexy, managing marquess.
Customer Reviews
3 1/2 Stars
Although this book starts out really slow and frankly at times, I considered not finishing, It's a solid friends to lovers historical book. Susanna and Miles maybe opposites, but they are friends that become more. Solid read.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Adventurous Historical Romance
Miles Weston, the Marquess of Hawksbridge, is a busy man. Now that his twin brother, Daniel, is happily married, his aunt, Lady Diana, is determined to see to it that Miles gets married as well. With her pushing young ladies at him, life is exhausting.
Lady Susanna Ashby is the daughter of Lord and Lady Dearborn. They have come to rely on Miles to help him keep Susanna out of trouble. She is a high-spirited young woman who loves her friends and enjoys learning new things. When she saw a group performing horse tricks, being a talented equestrian, she secretly asked them to teach her some tricks. There, she made even more friends. Problem is, she tends to escape to visit these friends and if her parents found out, they would highly disapprove. So, Miles is often tasked with rescuing her from herself.
Susanna gets an idea of trying to search down an old love of Lady Diana in hopes of reuniting them. It’s when she takes a journey with her maid and carriage driver that things begin to go astray and once again, Miles runs in to rescue her to her chagrin.
Susanna and Miles end up on some tough situations but they prevail. Now, is there a romance in the air between them?
I read the first book in this series and adored it. I missed the others since then so it was a bit difficult to keep up with the characters and the plot in this one. Sometimes, it is necessary to read previous novels to have a good idea of what’s going on. However, the book is quite adventurous and Susanna and Miles make a great pair. Enjoy.
