'An imperfect proposal…
But a perfect match?
Major James Rossington, Viscount Austerfield, survived Waterloo, but can he survive the Season as London’s most eligible bachelor? Convinced his battle scars make him unlovable, and to escape Society’s matchmakers, Ross proposes a wedding in name only to shy, sensible Carenza Bettridge. Liberated from her cruel stepmother and bullying half-sisters, she blossoms into a confident, altogether desirable woman. He promised Carenza a convenient marriage, but inconveniently finds himself wanting more…'
This is the story of Ross and Carenza, which is told over the course of 22 Chapters (+Epilogue). This story will grab readers attention from the very beginning. They will want to know more about the characters as well as how these two very different people end up married.
Ross is a very interesting character and as the story progress the reader watches as Ross shows his battle scars. With the amount of detail that the Author put into the Battle Scars and what Ross deals with you can tell a lot of research was done.
Carenza is the definition of a Cinderella character from her looks to her family. What makes her stand out from other Cinderella characters is that not all her issues are solved when she meets the Prince or in this case Viscount. Carenza is a very strong character and readers will see this long before the character does.
Now let me tell you about the Author Sarah Mallory, who is an award winning author who has published more than 30 historical romances with Harlequin Mills & Boon! Sarah loves history especially the Georgian and Regency. She is a winner of the prestigious RoNA Rose Award from the Romantic Novelists Association in 2012 and 2013. Sarah also writes romantic historical adventures as Melinda Hammond. Sarah lived for many years on the Yorkshire Pennines, taking inspiration form the wild and rugged moors. Then in 2018 she fell in love with Scotland and ran away to live on the rugged North West Coast, which is proving even more inspiring.
Overall this story is filled to the brim with characters that readers will either love completely or dislike. I know this reader found her favourites. This book is a brilliant slow burn romance that readers will adore, especially if you love Cinderella stories. You can get your copy HERE
Until Next Time
